Pinworthy Projects Party – My Pinworthy Picks

By 3 Comments

Ack! You know that feeling when you wake up one morning and realize that you didn’t do something you were supposed to do?  Yeah, I’m there…right now!  It is now Thursday morning at X o’clock and I realized I haven’t done my features yet.  In my defense, it has been a crazy 36 hours in our house (fractured finger for one little, doctor’s appointment with new specialist + bout of coup for the other little).     

Never fear…the wee hours of the morning will serve me well in sharing some of the awesomeness to be found in the 100 links of last week’s party.  So, let’s get started before the sun comes up and I am really behind!

Pinworthy Projects Party: My Pinworthy Picks

By 6 Comments

Want to know a secret? 

You can always get a glimpse at how my week is going by how the features post goes.  Nice collage with insight on why I picked each one = good, relaxing week.  Picture with a caption and link = crazy week where I barely have time to come up for air.

Forgive me for giving you the latter this week but I wanted to give you some of my favorites versus leaving you with nothing. 

Here we go…

I have one guest posting spot left for next week. If you are interested, drop me an email at justusfourpartners {at} gmail {dot} com. The post would be for Thursday, 7 February and the html would need to be to me on 3 February.
***************************************************************

You continue to totally rock the Pinworthy Projects Party!  I have such a difficult time going through all the links and choosing some favorites.  Let’s take a look at some of your awesome projects and recipes from last week’s party!

Features 5-8

– I love the idea of making my own frame mattes shared by Decorating Cents. I can never find ones I like so this would totally fix that problem.

– How adorable is the fleece tunic dress for a young girl?  Peaches and Bees totally makes me wish I knew how to sew clothing {or anything}!

December has been hectic already and we are only 6 days in! I promise there will be a link party each and every Friday but I am not 100% positive I will be able to get to features for Thursdays. We’ll just take it week to week, ok? {But, rest assured, I will still bevisiting each and every link to check you guys out!}


Ok, so let’s take a look at some of the awesomeness linked up at last week’s party!





First up, check out this great wreath upcycle from Southern Abbey!

Want to feel like you are at the beach for Christmas? Then, check out these coastal inspired Christmas decorating ideas from Decorated Chaos.

Maybe you are looking for a really unique gift idea? Crystelle Boutique took some old neckties and made them into a skirt.

We’ve had a mini-reindeer invasion in our house and I love it! Maybe I can convince Kari @ Shaken Together to send me her glitter reindeer art.

Over at Simplicity in the South, there is some gorgeous Christmas artwork that was practically free…perfect for the budget conscious crafter 🙂

I’ve never tried freezer stenciling but Tales of the Scotts makes it look so easy with her freezer stenciled deer shirt that I may have to try!

Sarah SaturDIY gave me the perfect craft to make from all the wine corks I know will come after our upcoming Christmas party…a Wine Cork Christmas tree!

The most viewed food link was…Snowkiss Cookies from the Crafted Sparrow. Pretty sure I could eat all of those…in one sitting! YUM!

And the most viewed everything else link was the Bulbous Bouffant from Ruffly Ribbons and Ramblings. If only my hair was that long…

Ok, see you back here tomorrow morning for another fun party!

I hope everyone had a restful and blessing filled day last Thursday for Thanksgiving!  I had a great time spending the day with family and topping it off with some Black Friday shopping.

Let’s take a look at some of the fabulous things you all linked up last week!

Cassie, from The Sweet Life of an Environmental Engineer’s Wife, shared some great DIY projects she is eyeing on Pinterest list this body scrub.


Sew-licious Home shared this really neat and delicious looking fudge wreath. 

Use chalkboard signs as a photo prop
Over at Practically Functional, Jesse shared these adorable chalkboard signs she made for her first anniversary pictures.

gold gilded pine cone ard holder
I am loving these gilded pine cone holiday place card holders from Small Home Love.


I need to transform some of my binders like The Pin Junkie did for her Fabric Covered Notebooks.

And the most viewed food link was the cranberry katsup from Kathe with an E

The most viewed “everything else” link was this no sew ribbon tree skirt from The D.I.Y. Dreamer.

Don’t forget to come back tomorrow and link up to the Pinworthy Projects Party!

Oh, and I am still waiting for some giveaway winners to claim their prizes.  Be sure to click here to see if you are one of them.  This will be the last chance before they go to someone else 🙂

A Fun Game Instead of Features

By 20 Comments

No features today. I’m spending every extra moment I have with this

We are working on all the trim in the basement so we can start getting paint on the walls.

Instead of our regular features, I have a fun game that will win one of YOU a secret prize {Pinky promise that it is a good one though!}.  

Here’s how to play:
Go visit last week’s party and then come back here and leave me a comment with your favorite project that was linked up AND visit that person’s post and leave them a comment.

Some guidelines:
1) One comment per person please.
2) Your project should not be your own.
3) Please play fair. I will be checking to ensure you commented on the blog post you mention here as your favorite 🙂 {be sure you tell them you came over from this party so I can easily find it!}

You have until midnight on Monday night to do this. I’ll draw a winner on Tuesday and announce it here.

Pinworthy Projects Party – My Pinworthy Picks

Happy Thursday! Can you believe that, in just two short weeks, we will {at least here in the US} be celebrating Thanksgiving?! Man, how time flies!

Before time slips away and we are back to Friday again, let’s take a look at some of the great projects linked up to last week’s party.

My daughter has a little best friend that lives next door. I loved the idea of this best friend jewelry for them!

Want a neat way to change up regular glasses? Try using faux flowers to create flowered stemware.

Speaking of Thanksgiving…take a look at this super cute fall leaf turkey magnet. It would be a great project to do with kids!

In just a few short weeks, we’ll be pulling out the advent calendar. This metal bucket advent calendar is a neat idea!

Mornings are starting to get super cold around here. Crockpot breakfast pudding sounds like a great way to warm up before the start of the day.

I am working on finalizing some spaces around our house and this stenciled picture frame would work perfectly in one of my rooms.

And this week’s most view food link was the spiced pumpkin seeds

Over in the everything else category, these adorable DIY pocket hand warmers take the prize for the most views.

See you tomorrow for another super fun party!
