Make a Faux Sheepskin Rug

DIY a faux sheepskin rug

Time for the next episode of Ellie's Nursery!  This faux sheepskin rug is SO easy to make yourself, no sewing required!  The only thing you'll need is the fabric and some good scissors. I really wanted to get a fluffy furry rug for Ellie's room, but all of the good ones were $300+.  Since I'm doing her room on the cheap, this was too much for one item.  In fact, I think the most expensive thing in her room is her crib which was still … [Read more...]

I just want to tell you really quick about Twitter Parties. What is a Twitter Party?  A Twitter Party is an open chat about a specific topic or brand (or both.)  You can join in the party by including the party's hashtag.  To see only the party tweets, click on the hashtag or go to Tweetchat.com and specify the hashtag you want to follow.  This makes twitter parties manageable because otherwise you'd get lost in the shuffle!

New Puff Quilt Pattern: ‘Puffy Island’

puffy island on the floor

Presenting my newest puff quilt pattern!  I call it Puffy Island because all the little puffs with the flat white sashing in between remind me of little desert islands in the ocean.  This puff quilt is a mixture of puffs and traditional flat quilting--the best of both worlds!  I chose a rainbow ombre scheme for this quilt because lets face it...it's super cute.  I've always loved the rainbow array of colors and I've got a few projects coming … [Read more...]

Four New Puff Quilts

The flu is still rampant in my household and now my little 13-month-old has it.  There's really nothing sadder than a baby who is so sick...they don't smile, they just cry and want loving and holding and have no energy or life in them.  So that's what I've been doing, the best I can with two other kids.  Just holding her and watching WAY too much kids TV (to the point of wanting to blow my brains out.) But today during a rare happy moment … [Read more...]

Neosporin Essentials Review and Giveaway!

Neosporin Body Wash

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of NEOSPORIN® ESSENTIALS™ for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.   So let me ask you a question---do any of your kids have dry skin?  My kids do! Especially my oldest. And since we live in Utah now the air is very dry (yes, even dryer than Arizona if you can believe that!) They've never been diagnosed but I'm pretty sure Will has eczema. Eczema is a chronic inflammatory skin … [Read more...]

Scrappy Turkey Bib

Hello Honeybear Lane readers! I am Rebecca from Searching Out Simple here again with a baby themed project. I was going to have my 'baby' help make some placemats but she was a cranky babe. Has Thanksgiving snuck up on anyone else? Less than a week to go and I have yet to buy a turkey or items for the rest of the meal. I am looking forward to pumpkin pie and a leftover sandwich the next day. If you have or know a cute little turkey, you can have … [Read more...]
