Chitty Chitty meets Cannwin

Have you ever seen Chitty Chitty Bang Bang? I honestly hadn't until I was an adult with children.

Now we watch it all the time, and one of the things I've noticed is how cute some of their props and costumes are.

So, I'm going to do another set of Theirs Vs. Ours links. Ready?

Can I just say how much I love smocks? Remewin has just one that I made... I need to make some more.

What do you think? Living in a movie sounds good to me.

Now, I'm off to quickly clean my house before my play-daters show up.

Remember, I'm on vacation through the end of the year, but I'll try to pop and leave some Christmas love for all of you.

Happy Holidays!

I like the movie but the child catcher is a bit scary.

@ValerieIt was a lovely, quiet Christmas and I even got a ring! Perhaps more on that when I drop my mother off at the airport next week. :) Thanks for stopping by.

How-To Pretend You Work For Anthropologie

The problem with Anthropologie is that they cost way too much money. WAY TOO MUCH! I mean, come on--these book boxes: source: Anthropologie Cost $68-$188! Do you have that kind of money? I don't, but you know what I do have? I have a library with a cart full of free books that no one really cares about! So guess what I did... I made my own (and then I gave them away because I really don't have anywhere to put them). Here's how. What do you think?

Altered Shoe Art: Ring Holder Shoe Tutorial

Image
This was my week two craft for So You Think You're Crafty. I placed third that week for this one. I thought you might enjoy finding out how I made it. I tried about a million different decorations before settling on one that didn't drown out my rings. I wanted them to the focal point. This is also why I went with black fabric and not something more vivid. Don't be intimidated by the lack of 101 I'm giving you. It really is a straight forward sort of project. If you know how to use a glue gun without burning yourself you can do this. Just be sure to dust off your imaginative brain space first. :) The one important thing you might be wondering is how I got the pink fabric to stick to the shoe. I really just Mod Podged it on. There are several different ways to make ring tubes that you can find online. One I saw used that colored foam paper stuff that you find in the kids craft section. I thought that might have been easier, but I had scraps o

Yo-Yo Ma

Once, years ago, I got into an argument on a baby-names forum about music. A woman had posted a thread asking how other mothers felt about music and children. Her argument was that she allowed her children to listen to whatever music they wanted to because how could they possibly choose for themselves if they didn't know what to choose from. Mothers around the globe, and more specifically on the forum, applauded her. I did not. 'What types of music are you letting them listen to?' I asked. 'Jay-Z, Snoop Dog... whatever they want!' I was shocked. Her children were.... children, young enough to be significantly influenced by what they heard. I said as much and immediately became the bad guy. Attacked from all sides I found myself alone. I considered how naive I must have been to assume that it made sense to everyone that controlling what your kids saw and heard was important. It made sense to me! This goes out to my Brooklyn crew put ya guns up in th
