I can’t believe I’m blog swapping with Erika today! I’ve been checking out her blog for quite a while now and she has so many amazing ideas…plus, I just love the name of her blog! We decided to be a little crazy with our swap and come up with a few crafty questions for each other to answer…who wants to do the same thing every time, right? So, here we go…1.) What project to you think best describes YOU?This is a tough one. Hhmmmmm. I guess I would say the bubble skirt. Because I’m bubbly? Maybe…but I really just love to make cute, fun clothes for kids!

2.) Considering all types of craftiness, what is your favorite thing to make? Sewing is definitely my craft of choice. I. Love. To. Sew. I had no idea 4 years ago that I would love it this much, but I sew all the time! Lately I’ve really been having fun making clothes for my two kiddos and upcycling has been an especially fun and rewarding challenge. My 4 year old loves his new monster shirt!

3.) What is your favorite snack to munch on while crafting?I can’t say that I eat all that much while I craft, but I do like an ice cold drink and a few circus peanuts! I know, you probably are thinking “circus peanuts? GROSS!!”…but I love them!!!

4.) Which craft of yours is your husband’s favorite?My husband always reminds me that THIS quilt is his favorite thing I’ve ever made. I’m not sure why. I made it for my sister when she was prego, but then she ended up having her a girl, so I made her a different one. I was going to give this one away, but now that my hubby has declared it as his favorite, I’ve decided to just keep it for our family. It’s a fun pattern with 3-D pinwheels. I enjoy quilting, but I haven’t done much recently.

5.) Besides crafting, what do you like to do in your free time?I have two young kiddos, so most of my time is with them. I’m always trying to sneak time to sew, but if I wasn’t doing that, you can probably find me watching TV or a movie with my hubby. My new favorite show is GLEE…hilarious!! Oh…I guess I didn’t even think about blogging…I do that WAY too much! 6.) Say you were stranded on and island and could only have one of your previous crafts with you. Which would you choose, and why?I would have to choose my Mod Podge Ceiling Fan. Not for it’s cuteness, but because I hate to be HOT! And if I’m stranded on an island, I’m sure I’ll be hot and want a fan to cool me off

Two small problems solved with a little Mod Podge and paper.

Little problem #1:
The two grown-ups at our place use way too many glasses during the day. It’s especially annoying because we don’t have a dishwasher.

The solution:
Scrapbook paper, Mod Podge, and a sandwich bag.
Here’s hoping it will save me some time washing glasses at the end of the day.

Little problem #2: Our doorbell is broken and I rarely hear when someone knocks (unless I’m in the kitchen). I called to ask if they would fix the doorbell and our super laughed. Until I figure out how to fix it (or call demanding that they come fix or else…! ), I’ve been leaving little post-its on our door when I’m expecting guests.

A napkin (from one of our parties - I love these napkins), Mod Podge, foam sheet, stickers, and a magnet. I don’t think it will last long because Mod Podge + napkin = tricky, but oh well. And remind me to take it down when our visitors leave - I don’t want any creepsters thinking they’re invited into our apartment.
