I love to recycle all my crafts supplies, I keep a huge bag full of left over felt and what not. It is better not to waste. After Easter fun is all up and the kids have eaten all the yummy goodies from the inside of those little tiny eggs, really there is not much you can do other than throw them out. With this super cute and fun craft you can make your kids a cute little herd of animals to play with!
I love to use felt, I think it is super easy to work with and the possibilities are endless. You can even bring the little ones in on this. Just make sure you use safety scissors when cutting. If you plan to do this one alone I would like to recommend using those tiny scissors you get in a pedicure pack. I love those things and you can cut out perfect size ears,legs,tails and more with them! Hope you all enjoy I know I will and can't wait to make my girls some Eggimals!
A Herd of Eggimals
After they've given up all their Easter candy, give your plastic eggs an adorable second life as an owl, skunk, dog, cat, pig, or mouse.
Total Time Needed : 1 Hour
Materials
* Plastic Easter eggs
* Tiny pom-poms
* Felt
* Crafter's Pick The Ultimate glue or hot glue
* Black permanent marker
Instructions
1. To make the felt features for your critters, you can download our template. We used Crafter's Pick The Ultimate glue (hot glue also works well) to attach the pieces to the eggs and a black permanent marker to draw the face details.
2. Pig: Curl a 4-inch piece of pipe cleaner around a pen to make the tail, then glue it in place.
3. Mouse: For its tail, glue on a 3-inch length of yarn, knotted at the end.
4.Skunk: First glue the rear half of the stripe to the tail, then glue the tail and front of the stripe to the body.
Right below is a link to the site so you can print out a template and get a good look at the super cute and fun
Eggiamls!

Featured Etsy seller : Liz Plane (leapinglizzie)
Back in September I was looking for the perfect Snow White dress for soon to be 2 year old's Snow White birthday party. Being me and wanting every little detail to be perfect I had a very strict story book look in mind. I really do not care for the in store princess outfits you find these days. I have bought a few and honestly they just end up in the trash after a few wears. Liz had everything I had in mind in her store!
The item listed read:
"Snow white dress and collar made from yellow red and blue taffeta or cotton blend for a real princess feeling!! I can custom make this from infant size to girls size 8. If your little girl will be wearing it for 'dress-up' more often and you would prefer this be made from a good quality cotton blend so that it can be laundered much more easily just let me know."
I feel in love with this dress the moment I found it. I chose the cotton blend for my little one so she could also wear it for Halloween and for our upcoming trip to Disneyland for three days! I can honestly say she is going to feel like a real princess when we visit, Snow white her self will be jealous.
Kadyence in her dress :After all the Snow White birthday cake and apple cupcakes. The outdoor Giant sized snow white Pinata this dress washed to brand new! It is still in great condition after Halloween and play time dress up!

The best place to find anything handmade
My love for making stuff started when I was a little girl. My dad is a very gifted artist and I would like to think that I inherited the same qualities from him. I love to paint,sew and craft pretty much a lot of different things. My favorite place to find supplies for my shop or gifts for the family is Etsy. Not only do I have my own shop where I sell all my stuff, but I shop there as well. My goal with my blog is to find wonderful shops to review and post on here for everyone to check out. Maybe even inspire a few of you to get out there and start crafting!

New blog up and running!
Well I am rather new to this blog world. But with many friends telling me I should get out here and promote my etsy shop with a good blog I am finally getting it done! I'd like to start this post off with my new item of the day: My Yo Gaba Gaba ( Foofa)
Made with 100% Eco-fi a high quality polyester fiber made from 100% post-consumer recycled plastic bottles. Stuffed with Poly-Fill 100% Premium Polyester Fiber Fill.
Perfect gift for your Yo Gaba Gaba fan!
Foofa is a perfect little gift she is measured at 19 and a half inches tall. She is perfect to cuddle up with at night and hang out with all day long!
I have three little girls who just love this show! I could honestly say I love it too! With some of the kids shows these days that I can't stand (wiggles) I gotta say I love this show. I am a younger mom and love the fact that Jack Black and many other celebrity's guest start on it. With songs that teach your kids (not to bite) I just love it! I have a few more of the gang listed in my shop and more to come!
