Pinned It Made It

Last week we announced that we’d be retiring the link party for now and hopefully re-vamping and bringing it back in the fall!

But we can’t say good bye for now until we do the last set of features!

Pinned it Made it

Summer time is here! People are on vacation and the weather is HOT!
We’re going to be taking a break from the linky party for July and August and will re-evaluate come fall. There hasn’t quite been the growth in the number of links that we were hoping for and it takes quite a bit of time to put the party together each week. So, we’re going to take a little summer break, revamp things and start back up at a later date!

Hey Everyone! Melanna here (just so you know which of the three of us is talking this week...)

I'm thoroughly addicted to Pinterest. When I first started pinning I had a board called something like "projects to make." Ha! I had no idea that I was essentially creating an impossible to do list.

So I went the normal route and organized my pins by categories. Then when I'm in the mood to make something, whether it's baking, dinner, a craft or activity with the kids or a sewing project, I have inspiration right in front of me.

That doesn't mean I don't have a "list" of things I want to finish!

Here are some pins I'm dying to try:

(pinned here the ingredients to this one are actually in my kitchen waiting for me. Hopefully today!)

(pinned here We only ever have 2 hot weeks in July. But wouldn't it be wonderful to lie on a giant bag of water? Yes. Yes it would!)

(of course I have a sewing project waiting in the wings! Or 50... Pinned here. I've only made my girls skirts and dresses. I really need to venture into shirts (especially since Mady's torso is SO long). How cute is this shirt? So darling!)

But of course it's not enough to just have things on the to do list. Which is why we party here each week showing off the stuff we've actually done! Success or failure! So let's get to it, show us all that stuff that you Pinned and actually made!

Here are our top picks from last week:

Soap Cloud from Moore Babies. Looks Like Fun!

Jennifer's Pick:

There is so much inspiration in this post and I am LOVING the DIY art created by Covered in Grace!

Meig and Brandi's Pick:

We love these washi tape cards from Crafting and Creativity. So simple and cute! Thanks for the great idea, Sarah!

Melanna's Pick:

I'm Canadian, so I have to show some love to my fellow citizens! Sarah at Crafting and Creativity has a whole post of ideas of fun ways to celebrate Canada Day.

I've often thought that I should've been an English teacher. I'm always SO attracted to ways that help kids understand this crazy language we all speak. That's why I love this contractions project that Megan did on her blog Preparedness with Megs.

My four year old has gotten big into making cards and such "just like mom." She would LOVE these home made stamps from The Silly Pearl. I'm totally saving this as a summer rainy day activity.

I love these bracelets from the Silly Pearl ! I think it was terribly clever to take inspiration from desingner bags!

 I have a serious weakness for cute food. These tea cups have been in my Pinterest "to do" list for forever so I was thrilled when I saw that Confessions of an ADD Housewife gave them a try. Didn't they turn out cute?

Meig & Brandi’s Top Pick:

Our favorite item from this week's link-up is Natural Nesters' old fence turned rustic wooden box. We love upcycled items and this is a great way to re-use some old wood and create something new to use! Plus, that puppy is awfully cute. :)
