Weekend Plans 3/12/10 - 3/14/10

I was really hoping for a warm & sunny weekend but it doesn't look like mother nature is going to allow that.  It will be raining all day today and most of the day tomorrow.  Sunday will be pretty though, so that's good.  I have been planning to get 2 free tickets to The World of Coke for David and I to go and check out.  We've never been, but have talked about going quite often.  I got the tickets after entering lots of codes in on MyCokeRewards.com.  I don't drink a lot of coke, but my co-workers do and they don't use the points.  I also won a lot of codes on Listia.  

 

Tonight we'll be taking Aaron to my mother's house to spend the evening.  She will be taking him to visit my grandparents as well since they haven't seen him very much lately.  He'll have lots of fun there. 

Saturday after we get done enjoying our rainy day together at the World of Coke we'll probably grab a bite to eat somewhere that we've never been.  We'll get Aaron back that evening.

Sunday is church and afterwards we'll probably head over to David's mom and dad's to visit with them and let them have some time with Aaron.  

At some point in between these plans I'd like to get a couple of creative things started (and possibly finished).  I still have my 1st Dollar Store Craft that needs to be completed.  I also wanted to make a St. Patty's Day shirt for a friend's daughter but I don't have the materials for it.  I really want to get this done by Sunday so I can give it to her.  I may go to Walmart tonight to get what I need... if they have it.  If they don't, I may not be successful with this project or I'll have to change my idea for the project.  I also want to make an Easter wreath with lots of cute plastic eggs.  I also have a box that I am doing the finishing touches on the design that I want to get listed in MY SHOP.

What are your plans this weekend?

Whatever they are I hope you have a happy one!

Oh! St. Patrick was a gentleman

Who came of decent people;
He built a church in Dublin town,
And on it put a steeple.

Good morning!  I thought I'd share a cute little Irish saying with you before sharing my completed project.

I am excited to present to you... 

These were so fun to make, and very simple.  If you didn't see my post here, you should check it out for the link to step by step instructions.

St. Patty's Day Gift Idea

My boss is a pincher on St. Patrick's Day.  I know because I got pinched pretty hard last year as I didn't have a single thing to wear green.  So, I wanted to make a cute, affordable, and wearable gift for my co-workers on this holiday.

I went in search this afternoon to find the perfect thing, and well, leave it Martha to have a great idea.  Find the tutorial HERE!

I'll post a picture of mine once I complete them.

DIY St. Patty's Day Onesie

 

  

Materials

Onesie
Green Sharpie
Iron on Letters

I decided I wanted to this a while ago.  We went to Walmart to get the supplies I needed.  I originally got the idea from a blogger that made a very cute one for her daughter, it was about a month ago and I totally forgot to follow the blog and mark it so I could give her credit.  Anyway, she used freezer paper to make her stencil and then painted it onto the shirt.  

I was honestly looking for the most affordable (I didn't have any of the supplies except the onesie on hand).  So Walmart had green & black Sharpies for $0.99.  It was the kind with the extra fine point on one side and fine point on the other side.  I grabbed some letters and was ready to go.

I drew my own clover template by using a heart shaped piece of paper to make each leaf of the clover.  I traced it onto the onesie and then colored it in.  Followed the instructions for the iron on letters and VOILA.

I wish I had a picture tutorial to give you, but as you probably read in my previous post my camera isn't usable at the moment.
