fort kits

I finished up the fort kits over the weekend.  The first one was given on Saturday and was a hit (yay!) The next is for a party on Friday.  So here is the final product...

Supplies:
Two sheets with ties sew on the corners and in the middle of the long sides of the sheets.
clothes pins
clamps
rope

I made a small drawstring bag to store the rope, clamps and clothes pins...

and a larger bag to hold everything. 

This bag is also a drawstring bag, but I added straps to make it easier to carry.  I also make the bags plenty big so that the kids will have no problem just shoving the sheets and supplies back in the bag, because lets face it, you know they are not going to take the time to fold them all nicely like I did when its time to clean up :)

Next up?  Making one for my kids :)

i have a confession to make...

Not too long ago I blogged about how I knew Pinterest was all the rage, but I was happy with my little tumblr page to hold all my links to various projects and ideas.  Then shortly after that post a friend blogged about how she had finally succumbed to the Pinterest rage because of the organizational dream that it was.  She had me at organization(al).  So, I found my way over to Pinterest... just to check out her claims, and was sucked in immediately.

So without further ado... here is my Pinterest page

I saw a pin the other day and thought maybe I would share a few things that I have recently pinned and made.

First up, I made this delicious lemon peel-apart bread yesterday.  Oh so yummy!

I also made this pizza style monkey bread.  One recipe was not enough to feed our whole family so I  served the leftover garlic butter over pasta.  I will definitely make this again.
