Father's Day Weekend Recap, cute & fun DIYs

This year, with the boys being older and actually interested in crafts, we are making a lot of gifts for different occasions.  We've been talking about what to make for Daddy this year, and we have come up with a little list of some great ideas.  I love spending time doing crafts and DIYs with the boys!  Its a great time to bond with them without them noticing.  They are usually too busy with their friends and each other, they don't seem to need me much these days (well maybe the baby, but not the older guys!), so I take advantage of these quiet moments!

Canada Day Party Planning: Water Bombs! {From create.craft.love}

Here's a quick and AWESOME DIY that I found over by Jill at Create.Craft.Love.  These are completely AWESOME.  They are so easy to make (get the tutorial here), and I was able to get the supplies at the dollar store so very inexpensive!

Quilt Along: Quilting the thing!

I have been getting ready to quilt the quilt!  Yep!  2 hours and 5000 safety pins later, and I am finally at the quilting stage!  I can't believe it either!  So I settled in with my Coke and Netflix, and I went to town!  (Nothing like a little Dexter to help things along).


So It all seemed very overwhelming... and this is why it has taken me so very long to get this part started.  I was afraid.  This seemed like the hardest part!
