I know I did when I was little, and both my girls wish it non-stop during the summer when we are at the pool. <br />
<br />
<br />
But, since we all know that's not going to happen, the next best thing might just be your very own <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/293391293/mermaid-tail-blanket-mermaid-blanket?ref=shop_home_active_24" target="_blank">mermaid blanket</a>. <br />

<br />
My girls saw it in a picture and would not stop asking me to make them. I'm so happy with the way they turned out. Extra thick and super soft. <br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Plus, the color combination are endless, so really, you could be any mermaid you ever dreamed of.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
So tell me I'm not alone. Who else out there ever dreamed of being a mermaid?<br />

My newest Little Golden Book Journals are perfect! It's a quick little project that gets a ton of oohs and aahs. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I cut the spine off the book, and cut the covers and pages so they would all be the same size. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I started with the first page of the book and mixed a few blank pages in between every book page so the entire story in incorporated into the journal. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I used my Cinch binding machine to punch holes and attached the wires. The entire books ended up being close to 100 pages.<br />
<br />
I was able to find 9 books in good condition at a local thrift store and made all of them in just a few days.<br />

Such a fun and easy project that my girls just love. I know there will be many more books floating around our house.<br />

One thing that has been an eyesore are our Adirondack chairs. <br />
<br />
I go the first one almost 10 years ago, and then a second one a few years later. The colors never quite matched and they have really started looking old and worn.<br />
<br />
I tried to find a color that was close to the original paint color so I wouldn't have to paint more than one or two coats. I used Annie Sloan chalk paint and mixed equal parts Louis Blue and Florence. <br />

They only needed one coat and it took me about a day to paint both chairs. I rubbed them with steel wool to create the smooth soft finish like wax usually does. I couldn't use wax because sitting out in the sun all summer would cause the wax to melt.<br />
<br />
Here is a look at the before and after:<br />

<br />
What a huge difference a little paint can make. I don't know why, but it still amazes me.<br />
<br />
I finally have a place to sit outside and drink my morning coffee. I could not be happier.<br />

It's one of my favorite places so it was really exciting to do a craft show there.<br />
<br />
The weather was perfect and I never could have imagined there would be so many people there! It was so crowded, you could hardly walk down the street. I'm sure they were mostly there for the green beer and wine tasting, but they still did some shopping.<br />
<br />
I was very happy with how much I sold considering it's starting to warm up and I sell mostly winter items. It was a success.<br />
<br />
For some reason I was really nervous leading up to the show. Partly because the weather was warming up, partly because I decided last minute to do this show and partly because I did a new booth set up. <br />
<br />
Here is a picture of my new scarf wall. Love, love, love the way it turned out. So many people walked into my booth just to look at the scarves. And I sold some!<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
On the other side of the tent is my hat wall. I've used it several times and it always draws people in. But, I think I'm going to make some new walls for the hats just like the scarves. I want everything to look the same and a little more professional.</div>

I'm working on it, but it's quite a job. I've made the hats and now I need some pictures. I took the girls to the UC Davis Arboretum and we just started walking around taking pictures. I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing when it comes to photography. But I think I managed a few good ones.<br />
<br />
Some were posed and some were totally spontaneous. Like this one. One of my favorites.<br />

Every free moment she had was spent sitting next to me making her "scarf." She's already making a list of everyone she wants to invite over so I can teach them how to knit.Sanditeresehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17344684398471450592noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8604224416132387857.post-3603083961631286682015-01-12T09:40:00.001-08:002015-01-12T09:40:47.469-08:00Project Life: Week 1It's no surprise that I LOVE Project Life. I've been scrapbooking in this format since 2010 and I have no plans to change anytime soon. <br />
<br />
I did fall behind last year when I decided to start doing craft fairs. Everything was put on the back burner so I could make enough product to fill my booth.<br />
<br />
I knew this year I needed to start slowly. I bought the 5th & Frolic kit from Michaels and I'm working on keeping it simple until I get back into the scrapbooking routine again.<br />
<br />
Here is a my layout for week 1.<br />
<br />

The thing that holds me back the most, is trying to fancy-it-up too much. I need to remember to just get the pictures printed, write down the things I want to remember, and get everything into the slots.Sanditeresehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17344684398471450592noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8604224416132387857.post-1505625570643182522015-01-07T12:43:00.000-08:002015-01-07T12:43:05.739-08:00The New YearI hope everyone had a great holiday. Mine was a bit frantic with all the craft fairs I did, but we managed to spend a couple days in Arnold for the first few days of the year. It is one of my favorite places to go. <br />

The girls were not prepared for how cold it was, especially after playing in the snow with just leggings and tennis shoes. It was all good and fun for the first half of our hike. Then the crying started. The second half wasn't fun for any of us.<br />

At least I got a few good pictures before we left.<br />
<br />
I'm also working on a few goals for the new year. Most importantly, I'm working on getting my Etsy shop up and running! Hopefully in the next month or so, it will be ready to go. <br />

But, I'm so happy with they way these two hats turned out. <br />

I'm always ready. I just love the way everything looks and feels with all the Christmas decorations out and displayed. <br />
<br />
I have been making cork ornaments for several years now, but for some reason, I've never shared them. It's one of my favorite gifts to give around the holidays when you need something small.<br />
<br />
I have candy canes, trees and wreaths.<br />

I swear, my to do list is getting longer instead of shorter like I had hoped. <div>
<br /></div>
<div>
But, I did get a big item checked off the list this weekend. I was able to do a practice set up. I was able to see what I wanted to make more of, what I have plenty of, etc. There are still a few things I need to get, like an extra table cloth and finished "walls" for the tent instead of a sheet, but I was surprised at how much I already had done.</div>

I know a lot of people set up their tent on the day of the event without a test run, but that definitely would not have worked for me. Even though it took an entire afternoon, it was definitely worth it.</div>

I've just signed up for the <a href="http://www.lodichamber.com/events/street-faire/" target="_blank">Lodi Street Fair </a>on October 5. It's one of the largest in our area and I'm so excited I can hardly stand it.<br />
<br />
I am frantically working on stuff to fill my booth so stay tuned for lots of product updates!<br />
<br />
So far I have pumpkins, trees, wreaths and lots of baby hats.<br />

It's one of my favorite places to be. It's the kind of place where you can read all day long and not feel guilty about work/cleaning piling up. It's the kind of the place where getting dirty is part of the fun, not having to worry about makeup or doing your hair. The kind of place where my girls can run wild and not get in trouble. I hope when they get older, they'll remember the fun times they had in Arnold.<br />
<br />
It was a quick trip for us this time. We drove up after work on Friday and came home Sunday afternoon, but we were able to pack a lot in.<br />
<br />
Friday night was bonfire and s'mores. This was pretty exciting since neither of my girls had ever had s'mores before and didn't even know what they were. It was a big hit.<br />

This is my 5th year doing a yearly project life album. As usual, I'm a little behind, but this system makes it so easy to get caught up. I've stopped doing traditional layouts and there is so much relief not having to figure out a layout. Just getting the pictures in the page protectors, writing down the things I want to remember and I'm done.<br />
<br />
Here are a couple pages from this spring.<br />

I've always loved wooden oars. So when I saw all the cute painted oars on Pinterest, I knew I wanted to paint a couple to put over our TV. I found both of these oars at antique stores. One was $10 and the other was about $15. I didn't care if they were exactly the same. I just looked for two that were similar.<br />

I painted two coats of white with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint, then taped off different areas with painter's tape. I used acrylic paint from Michael's for the stripes and number. Then distressed everything once they were dry.</div>

They were still a little boring to me, so I used some thin jute twine I found in the garage. I held it in pace with tape until I had it where I wanted it. Once it was in place, I used a little hot glue on the ends to hold it down. I added triangle hooks on each end so I could hang it on the wall.</div>
