DIY Valentine’s Day Doily Garland and Mini Tissue Paper Flowers

Threading the doilies.

Here was my inspiration from Inspired Kara. It’s pretty self explanatory and SO EASY!!


And here’s the inspiration for these adorable little tissue pom poms from BespokeBride. Another super EASY craft! 
Once in a while, I get the slightest bit of inspiration to do something crafty. I’ve got 2 little girls who LOVE to create things with their hands so I’ve got to be somewhat on the look out for simple (for me) yet fun (for them) projects.
With Valentine’s Day approaching, it seemed like the perfect time to check out Pinterest for some lovely ideas. Don’t you just adore it when you have all the necessary supplies on hand?? I do!! It makes me happy happy!! I had everything except the bud vases and those were found at Target in the $1 bins.
The mini flowers are so sweet. When daddy came home and saw them, he thought they were real.
And you know I’m a sucker for garlands/banners for all occasions. The doilies make the garland look so delicate, just like lace. We made one for the kitchen window where the sunlight comes in and another one for the girls’ bedroom.
Happy crafting!

a SUPER weekend!

Halmoni & Hapajee came to visit us in our new home and we had a lovely time together. I love the cultural experience the girls receive when they get to visit with my parents. For example, in addition to learning some new words in Korean, they also enjoyed eating roasted seaweed wraps filled with marinated beef, steamed rice, and kimchee. The girls have also mastered the art of picking up every last grain of rice in their bowls with their chopsticks. Such fun and sweet memories.

 

Sunday brought church followed by an afternoon of playing with their new friends. They biked, they scootered, and they played tag until they were out of breath and their sides hurt. Good times.

Usually on Sundays, I try to make a comfort meal so in honor of the Superbowl (which we did not watch) we had crockpot turkey chili with sweet cornbread muffins. Talk about hitting the spot!

Hope your weekend was Super as well!
