1. I've been wondering where to put all the cute crafts Grant comes home with from preschool. Then my sister told me about this great idea. It's an artwork clothes line. I put ours upstairs in the playroom. It adds color to some boring white walls and this way, the fridge isn't overtaken by kids art. My guide came from this blog.
2. I decided to be brave and make some homemade finger paints for Grant. Turns out, he hates finger painting and begged for a paintbrush. Oh well. =) My recipe came from here.
3. I've been wanting to figure out how to sew baby bow ties for my boys. Finally I sat down and got it done. These two I gave away at a friend's baby shower. I plan on making more for my boys. I want them to have matching bow ties on Easter. Here is the tutorial that helped me with this project. I don't really love having things wrapped around kids necks (all the other tutorials had straps for the bow ties) so I attached a small, metal, alligator clip on the back of these. That way they just clip on the button-down shirt and nothing goes around the neck. (Think clip-on tie but with a bow.)
Best wishes with your projects!

I love the bow-ties. I think that'll be my sewing project for March. What's an aligator clip? Can you take a picture of the back of the bow tie? :)
Those turned out so cute!
