Door Hanging Craft

Women's ministry at my church did another really fun craft event for the Spring. We painted and built these cute door hangers for our front doors. I love mine! I needed to replace my ribbon wreath that was looking oh so sad and still hanging from Christmas. This hanging spruces up our front entrance and screams "WARM WEATHER!"

We started off with our raw wood pieces. Gave each piece a quick sand and drilled holes in each corner so that we could sting them together at the end. 

Each piece got painted and embellished using spring time pastels and colors. 

We gave each painted piece a rough sand and dipped them in stain quick and wiped off. This gave our hanging pieces a little life.

Caption your hanging to your pleasing--in my case--I wrote "Welcome to the Lichty's"

Using wire and wire cutters connect your hanging together. This part was honestly the most difficult! 

Hang on your door and wait for compliments to come your way! 

Sprinkles Day

Everyday should be a "Sprinkles" Day! My mom brought me a few Sprinkles cupcakes home from her vacation in California and I have been indulging on these little delights for a week. I cannot get enough of these cupcakes!

Strawberry cake is my absolute favorite flavor and whenever I have visited a Sprinkles during a trip, I am never there on a day they serve this flavor. My mom was able to snatch me up a few Strawberry delights and THEY ARE GOOD! I also got a vanilla, black and white and a red velvet. All were amazing and I enjoyed every last crumb.

Happy Pi Day

Happy to report we survived the Pi Day of the Century! 3.1415 has come and almost gone and I enjoyed seeing pictures of people enjoying homemade pie and reading articles about Pi.

Mozzy's First Birthday

Our puppy is now One year old! We had to spoil him a little and make him a birthday cake. Since he loves whip cream so much, we thought we would make him "Kyle's Cake" to gobble down. It is just an angel food cake frosted with pistachio flavored whip cream. Mozzy only got one piece but he did get a few spoonfuls of frosting throughout the rest of the birthday week!

This was challenging to keep him still and not pounce! 

7 years together

I am pretty sure I am not the only person in the world to get married and still want to celebrate my dating anniversary with my husband as well? Or am I just weird? Anyways, today is Kyle and my dating anniversary and I will never forget it. Yes, we had an awkward "You're my boyfriend/I'm your girlfriend" moment but everyone does, and that is what makes it memorable. I for one fell in love with Kyle right when I saw him, and I think it took Kyle a few more months to fall in love with me but he finally did and now we are married and so happy together. I am very blessed to have been with Kyle and we make a good team.

Knit Headband

I made a simple knit head band using a chunky pink yarn the other weekend to sport this winter season. I just cast on 38 times and did a rib stitch (knit 2, purl 2) for 12 rows.
