wind chimes

check out this great little DIY project I found online this morning. Another thing to add to my "to do" list. The list is getting long. Have you made this? How did it turn out? any tips or ideas yu want to share? Today's project will be windchimes. The kids and I will scavange around the house and see what fun things we can come up with to make windchimes.So far im thinking spoons might be a neat thing to use in a windchime. People play spoons as musical imstruments so the clinky clanky sound of spoons will be perfect. Here is one I found online, and we can add glitter. Glitter makes everything better, and some clear sparkly beasd to something like this and it will be fabulous.

Ohhh or this is nice too. Not sure what kind of sound it would make but check it out they used the sink plugger thingy.. how cool and recyley is that?

how pretty is this one?

here is a splendid crystal windchime I found on etsy.. I doubt ours will be this wonderful but if anyone wanted to buy me a gift.. This just made top of my wishlist..

Do you have ideas on what we can use to make some beautiful windchimes to go in our child friendly everything is touchable garden?

I find windchimes to be so calming Im pretty excited about this project.

But next on the project list will have to be this little feeder. Its too cute not to make.

So these are on our agenda, windchimes and a bird feeder. If you have any suggestions, ideas, tips, or tricks to offer please post them. Its great to let kids have a free spirit and try things and enjoy creating without limits. But as a parent its also good to go into a project with some kind of rough sketch in your mind of what you are trying to accomplish and what obstacles you might meet on the journey. Havea great sunday all. See ya back here later.

Bottle cap furniture

check out this idea for recycling bottle caps. Imagine the hours the crafter must have put into these pieces of furniture. If you look closely there is a clock on both the chair and dresser for a nice added touch. Im pretty certain you would be the only one in the neighborhood to have a set like this. So what are you waiting for get started and send me pictures of your finished bottle cap projects.

What ideas do you have for recycling used bottle caps?

Yuzu Soap with Poppy Seeds and Turmeric

I haven't tried this yet but after reading the benefits of turmeric I plan to place an order for it. I love the look and I imagine the poppy seeds would be a great exfoliant. It has Honey, turmeric, poppy seeds, and vitamin E. If you have tried it Id love a review. If not I'll let you know what I think when mine arrives.
