DS Storage/Carrying Case

*Project by Shilo @ Toadly Crafty*

“Mom where’s my charger?”

“I know that’s my stylus, not his!”

“I can’t find my Pokemon game!”

Do you hear this to often! I know I do. I knew something had to be done. But at $40+ for a nice carrying case at the store, affording one was going to be hard never mind one for each of the kids (and my hubby!).

Problem solved!

No more lost chargers, no more whinny road trips and no more arguing on

what belongs to who!

Inside I used felt to create custom sized storage pockets for the various components, games and manuals.

Now its just a matter of grabbing and go….gaming on the go….I may never see my kiddos…or hubby again!

Snuggaroo

*Project by Marjorie @ Living with Three Moon Babies*

A pillow that you can snuggle with, play with, and best of all, it has a pouch on the back to put all your favorite things in. Oh, and a little handle on top to help you carry it around!
It was made using only a thrifted fleece jacket, felt scraps and thread.
The SnuggaRoo is a great way to take something old and make it new!

These would be great to take on road trips, sleepovers or even just to snuggle with at nap time.
Everyone needs a SnuggaRoo!

Mod Flower Door Curtain


In order to photograph this “door curtain” I actually had to close the door, but try to imagine it with the door open, leading into a cute girl’s bedroom or playroom. There are lots of colorful paper flowers, hearts, and ladybugs hanging from the top of the door frame to the floor (well, almost to the floor.)

I covered a 1/4″ wooden dowel with decorative paper, cut the dowel to fit the door frame, and added rubber stoppers to each end to hold the dowel in the frame. The rubber stoppers give the dowel just the right amount of tension for it to stay in place. You could also use a tension curtain rod, but I liked the idea of covering the dowel in paper to match the color motif of the flowers.

I tied the decorative pieces to the main strings with colorful ribbon. They dangle and dazzle and give this door curtain just the right pizzaz to finish off and add a little bit of privacy to a girl’s special place.

Charlene @ eWillow Designs

  • I’m a wife of twenty-three years to a great guy and a mom to two fabulous teenage girls
  • I’m a HUGE Donny Osmond fan (in fact, no one loves Donny more than I do!)
  • I have OCD…except when it comes to doing the laundry and doing other stupid household chores (I’d rather be making stuff!)
  • I own eWillow.com, a place on the web where people who are addicted to all things paper can have storefronts to sell their handmade paper items to people who love such things but don’t have the time to make them
  • I love to shop for stuff on clearance at Target, I love sales at Bloomingdales, I love dark chocolate, I love New York City, I love Wendy’s chocolate twisted Oreo Frosty’s, I love miniature things, I love doll houses, and I love cats (but I love Donny more!)
  • I teach card-making and paper-crafting classes
  • I don’t like to travel (except to NYC! I love it even more when my BFF Sharon meets me there and when my other BFF Nancy comes along!)
  • I’m a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
  • I was a model in my former life. “America’s Next Top Model” is pretty accurate…modeling is a ton of hard work and not at all as glamorous as one would like to think (and no, you don’t get to keep the clothes)
  • I think I just might be old enough to be the mother of all of the other crafters on “So You Think You’re Crafty,” which is extremely depressing to me!

Ann @ DecoMod Walls

Ann Gardner is a full time mama to 3 little ones and a full time artist. Ann graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Art and has spent the last 10 years of her life painting, illustrating & designing in any free moment she had. In 2009, her husband left the business world to join Ann in artistic pursuits. Together they run a creative business which includes home decor and publishing. Ann says: “I happened upon the SYTYC site and knew I needed to join in on the fun. When you do art full time, it is difficult to find an excuse to craft. Now I’ve got one! Wish me luck!”.

Cheryl @ A Pretty Cool Life

I’m a 28 year old stay at home mom to two little boys, ages 3 and 1. I love the ordinary days I spend with them, and desperately try to hang on to each one because the time is flying by much too fast. We spend our days playing, building, chasing, snacking, watching too much tv and trying to inspire a little creativity. One day we hope to add homeschool to that list.

I’ve lived my entire life in the Chicagoland area, although I think there is really a southern girl hiding somewhere deep down inside. I went to college to play volleyball, and managed to emerge with a degree in English and a Master’s degree in education. My husband and I met when I was 19 and have been married for almost 5 years. He lovingly supports my projects and has the decency to wait until I leave the room before rolling his eyes at my latest hair-brained idea. We love living in our 1946 Cape Cod, which we have and will continue to renovate.

I love making stuff. I sew, craft, assemble, decorate, re-decorate, bake and build on a daily basis. Our house is messy and we eat too much carry out, but I love the feeling of doing things myself. I’m drawn to stacks of pretty fabric, colorful paper, sprinkles, ribbons, yarn, polka dots, gingham, little chairs, white dishes, spray paint and tools. I could lose myself for hours in flea markets, IKEA and antique and thrift shops. One day I may actually use all the fabric and supplies I’ve amassed over the years.

I’m a casual girl. I live in my Uggs in the winter and flip flops in the summer. I wear jeans nearly every day but don’t leave the house without putting on make up and ironing my hair. I’m sarcastic, shy, silly, and pretty dorky, but you probably knew that already.

Wanna know anything else? Just ask.

Chris @ Pickup Some Creativity

I’m a wife and mother to four children. I recently graduated with my doctorate degree in Audiology, and enjoy that profession, but find my greatest joys in my family and creating. I’ve drawn since I could hold a pencil, and sewn since I was 4, thanks to a nurturing mom who still inspires me. Creating something new or figuring out how to put something together keeps me centered and happy. I started my craft blog July 2009, more as a way to say thanks to all the other blogs I’d been reading and learning from, and it has evolved from there. I had the great opportunity to study abroad in Israel during college, which had a profound effect in my life. I’ve lived in several Western states, and now enjoy living in rural Idaho. My husband and I built our home, including the framing, roofing, electrical, finish work, and all the painting. I believe that to create is a divine desire. It is my hope that as I share my adventures in creating and family life, I can spark another person’s creativity.

Deidre @ A Craft A Day

I am a SAHM of four children under the age of six. Their joy, their love, and their laughs bring so much inspiration to my life. I am also a professional photographer and truly enjoy spending time *behind* my camera :) In the last few years I have enjoyed my sewing machine so much. I love to make clothing for my children and fun toys they can use as well. I also love to knit and re-purpose items. I’m not afraid to try new things and constantly find new things to create. I just recently started a blog to document my crafts with the intent to share my creations with family and friends.
