Peanut Butter Cookies

Hello Friends, hope you all are doing well...
Last Friday, on Valentine Day, I baked these yummy cookies with my kids. I am not much of a baker but doing something with kids is fun and that was the motivation. They love cookies and cakes like me. This year, I have decided to learn or try two new recipe every month.So I started looking for the easy recipe that will suit for the beginners like me.I have found this recipe on Martha Stewart  and there is a video too that you can watch on You tube. These cookies are really delicious and I ended up making two batches because first one really finished fast. My daughter decided to make the heart shape ones, to fit the occasion. She is learning fractions in school so she helped out in measuring the ingredients. Both of them, were busy making their own best and marking them so they can find their cookies. We had fun making cookies and doing it together was the best part of it. I don't have the pictures of the process of making but here is the link to video and recipe ..
 

Try it with your kids, you will have fun!

A Cute Storage Bin

Hello Dear friends...hope you all are doing well. This year, part of my goal is to organize better and find ways to teach children the same. Its really frustrating when you are searching for things around the house and you can't find it. So I am trying to simplifying things and making designated spots for every thing these days. And where I am going to start first...obviously the kitchen. One of the biggest challenge is to store the plastic grocery bags. I need it all the time for small garbage bins. Earlier I was shoving them in a bigger bag...well not now because I have made a pretty spot for it. So now, as soon as grocery bags come inside the house I fold them and put them in this cute container I made. Once the container is full I just recycle the rest.That way I am not collecting too much. Here are few pictures how I made it ...  

                               I decided to recycle this tomato can...I just painted it and mod podge some flowers on it.

                               Then to cover the top I made a canopy with a construction paper...

                                and its done.

Hope you like the idea... tell me about your organizing ideas I would love to see them ...see you soon

Braided Scarf

Hi there...Hope this new year will bring health and happiness for everyone. So here I am bringing the first post of the month...soft cuddly braided scarf. Its easy and fun to make... all you need is a ball of pompom yarn and a little free time. Here are the pictures to explain...

   Step 1  line up your yarn divide them in equal parts....

 Step 2 Cut the ends and put a rubber band at one end and start braiding

Step 3 Tie up both ends with a yarn. You can add felt flowers or ribbon flowers to deck up

Here is the final look...since I am using pompom yarn you can hardly see the braid and it gives a fluffy look to this scarf

Hope you will like it..see you soon with another diy!

Wreaths

I made these cute wreath for gift giving ....little handmade gift to show my appreciation for my kids teacher.

                                For wreaths I have used styrofoam circles, ribbons, felt flowers, and cut some sprigs that I got from local dollar tree and yarn....

Up cycled Baking Dish

 Hello Dear Friends....hope you all are well. I am blogging after a long gap. From last month I was totally away from creative work. Truth is its hard to get time  for creative work sometimes because lots of other things depend on you. I guess what I need is good time management. Hope I will be regular in my future postings.

Today I am sharing a quick up cycle project for you. I recently saw an idea of using old baking dishes for organizing purpose on Martha Stewart's website. I covered my unusable baking dish with a green printed duct tape.    

Its looking nice and printed duct tapes come in different designs and colors. Its a deep dish that can be used on counter for keeping mails, keys also. Hope it will inspire you to up cycle something .
