DIY HANDLED BUTTER DISH

I think we all have some pent up frustration against all of the handle-less butter dishes in the world. Don't we? Why do they even make them? I'll never know. But, I have a solution. Add your own handle! Using a decorative knob from your local craft or hardware store, you can have a frustration-less + pretty butter dish in no time. Check out the details over on Momtastic. If you make your own, I would love to see it!

DIY JAR SPICE SHAKER

Simple, useful and I love it. I really loved the shape of the jar and knew I wanted to use it for something, so I made it into a shaker!  It's perfect for my sea salt (I use it on everything!) Hop on over to momtastic to see the whole tutorial.

MINI PIÑATAS + HAPPY WEEKEND

I made these mini piñatas for a little cinco de mayo party we had this morning for some local kiddos. I won't give step by step instructions, but if you are interested you can see pretty much the same thing here. I made some minor changes through trial and error, but it's close enough. I used water balloons to get them as mini as I could.After I covered them with paper mache, I rigged up a way to hang them up so they could dry fully. I have to say, I was pretty proud of myself for that :) I filled them with some small toys and candy and the kids seemed to really like them. They took far too long to make, but it was fun and a great excuse to get caught up on some shows.

Do you have any fun plans for cinco de mayo? We'll have some yummy mexican food, and hopefully a few siestas! Have a fantastic weekend, friends!

DIY LEATHER KEY FOB

More leather goodness for you! A fun project that is easily customizable to fit pretty much anyone. I love the feeling of the leather when I am reaching for my keys. It's a nice contrast to the cold keys :) Click here to see the details on how to make your own!
