Hidden Germs....water dispenser in refrigerator

I recently saw a show on TV showing where germs are hiding in your house. One of them was the water dispenser on the refrigerator. Take a q-tip and stick it inside the tube where the water comes out. I didn't have a camera at the time but mine was disgusting, kind of makes me not want to drink water out of it!

Wine bottle pumpkins

I got this idea from Pinterest a few weeks ago and lo and behold I have many empty wine bottles! My wine cutting idea didn't quite pan out. Spray paint wine bottles orange, add a black face.

Fun Activity for Kids! Bingo Marker Paintings

Tonight I was cleaning out my craft area and came across these bingo markers. About 12 years ago I used to work as a Recreation Therapist and was always trying to come up with activities for my patients. This is an activity was so much fun. My kids loved to do it...make paintings with Bingo Markers. They love making dots and it isn't very messy. The Bingo markers can be purchased anywhere; I have seen them at Walmart, and the Dollar Tree. Great activity for all ages!

Here is a link for printables for the bingo markers

Hand knit hats for children

These are a few hats I have knitted this past year. I enjoy knitting as it is so relaxing. If you have a request for certain colors, I will make it for you. The strawberry hat will probably fit a 3 to 4 year old. The magenta hat with white flower-a newborn to 6 months. The hot pink with cream flower-2 to 3 year old.

Handpainted Lightbulb Ornaments

A few years ago, I got into painting burned out lightbulbs, making them into ornaments. I had all of my friends saving them! Here are a few that I painted and designed. It is really takes some time, but they were fun to do.

All I used was acrylic paint. I cleaned the bulb with rubbing alcohol and painted away! The proper brush is the key to making a nice project.
