Crafty Sunday

Sundays have become Mike and I's relaxation day and today was certainly no exception. Today was also much needed after the stresses of this past week. Homemade banana pancakes were the perfect...and most yummy...way to start off the day. ( Mike just added bananas and cinnamon to the recipe on our recipe tab.)

After breakfast we headed off to Wesleyan to re wrap Tucker's legs and begin my pinterest crafts of the day. First step was collecting horseshoes and scrap wood from our pallet pile. Thanks to Mike we got a couple of good pieces.

Next we headed off to visit Lou pony because no weekend is ever complete without his shining face and warm hugs:)

A quick trip to the craft store to collect the rest of the supplies was our next stop and then back home to get started. My first pinterest craft was a sign made from the scrap wood. The sign will be the first of many for our "word wall" in our dining room. If anyone would like one made I'll be more than happy to get to work on some more!

Step 1: Paint

Yummy Old Bay popcorn was the perfect snack for a crafting afternoon

Step 2: Nail on the horseshoe

Step 3: Paint again and done!

I'll be sure to post pictures as the wall comes together...as soon as the landlord fixes the leak in the ceiling that is!

For the next craft Mike decided to join in and make one of his own. They were also pretty simple to make. Simply take a horseshoe and wrap it in twine, when you get to about the center weave your twine through a charm or bead of your choosing and then continue to wrap the twine around the horseshoe until it is even on both sides. Here are our finished horseshoes hanging in our living room.

Happy crafting!!
