Arm Knit Infinity Scarf

I've been wanting to try arm knitting for a while.  I saw YouTube video sometime ago and had I shared on the Facebook.  page I finally sat down and attempted it The other night I pulled up that video along with another and after a bit of trial and errors it actually started to go along pretty smoothly.  I ended up with an awesome scarf!

So there's the finished product turned out super cute it is so soft and comfortable!

All it requires is your arms and two skeins  (that's the fancy knitting term for bundles) of yarn and a little bit of time and patience. 

I did not take pictures or video of myself doing it since I was still learning but here is a link to the YouTube video that I thought was wonderful I made it super clear for me!

Good luck. Please post pictures of your finished product on my Tidbits from Everyday Mommy and More Facebook page. I'd love to see pictures!

Thanksgiving Napkin Holders

Every year my daughter and I make something special for each place setting at Thanksgiving dinner. 

Last year we made turkey napkin rings and they were a hit. I decided to stick with the napkin rings there year but use this adorable tag printout I found on Pinterest. 

Supplies:

Various colors of fall/leaf colored cardstock

Paper towel tube cut into 1 inch rings

Thankful tag printouts

Glue

Ribbon (for optional decoration)

 

 Cut out some leaves from the card stock. I made a simple shape and 

made them about 2 inches long and 1 inch wide. 

 

Print out the tags from this link  THANKFUL TAGS. 

Cut and trim tags. Punch a hole if you want to use ribbon.

Glue leaves onto each ring and the glue to tag on top.

Now you are all set to put the napkins in and place them on each plate
for Thanksgiving dinner!

Splatter Art

 Splatter art is a blast. 

 

 Start with some sturdy card stock and draw a face in the center. 

I happen to have a hubby who is great at cartoon faces so he

drew a few different versions for us.

Then take some washable paint and water it down a bit.

Enough to be able to dip a straw in and pick up a few drops 

at a time.

Dab a few drops around the 'head' of your character....

Then blow in the other end of the straw to make the paint
splatter around.

We were amused for at least a half an hour making all sorts of 

crazy hair and other designs on our creatures.

My daughter loved her dragon with green breath!

Even my husband created some art!

Happy painting. Have fun!

Bugs and Kisses

Yes it is after Halloween but I have to share these cute giftbags we handed out for my daughter's school halloween party. 

I printed out this graphic from online and cut them to a 2 inch by 3 inch size and then mounted them on some cute patterned paper. 

Next I folded them in half and stapled them to snack size baggies with a few Hershey kisses and a plastic bug in each. 

Now we have bugs and kisses for all her classmates.

Front Door Eyeballs

Then simply adhear them to your door and you're ready for trick or treaters!
