I do not understand why people put up Christmas decorations in October only to take them down immediately once Christmas is over, then act as though spring is just around the corner. Well let me remind you, it is not. Winter is still here, and whether you like it or not, we still get to endure the cold weather, snow and ice. I love it! I love the winter, the weather, the atmosphere, and the feeling of cozying up in front of a fire with a cup of tea, a warm blanket, and my baby all snuggled up! In lieu of welcoming you to the new year with a collection of "spring is here" ideas, here are some that remind us that it is only January and winter will still be here until May. (Hey, it's the midwest people!)<br />

Mine it to run one race each month for the year of 2011. Well, like most people, I am trying to fulfill to things that I have had as my resolution in the past: to include more exercise in my life, and to lose weight! <br />
<br />
Well, these next few weeks I am going to give you the Scrappiness Guide to New Year's Resolutions, and ways to help you accomplish those common ones that just don't seem to work!<br />
<br />
My first resolution: Learn something new! <br />
<br />
There are two different ways to accomplish this easy task. I just stopped by <a href="http://www.urbanartsandcrafts.com/Fall%202010%20Class%20Title%20Page.html">Urban Arts & Crafts</a> the other day (a locally owned paper, yarn and fabric boutique) and oogled at the new list of craft classes starting in 2011. This locally owned craft store is located here in Kansas City in Briarcliffe Village. Google craft stores in your area and see what types of classes they have to offer. Urban offers classes on wool felting, knitting, jewelry making, soldering, and many many more funky items that you can not find at your momma's craft store. (I think only my sister may understand that one!)<br />
<br />
You could also sign up for an e-course. Elsie Flanigan, from <a href="http://www.abeautifulmess.typepad.com/">A Beautiful Mess</a>, offers a wide variety of online courses from how to go vintage, how to blog, or how to create a paper journal. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://community.etsy.com/">Etsy</a> is also a source for learning new tools of the trade. They offer what is called a Virtual Lab, and will teach you randomness from the world of handmade. <br />
<br />
Or, if scrapbooking is what you crave to do (or digital scrapbooking) check out <a href="http://www.twopeasinabucket.com/shop/?avad=37023_f12dafc1">Two Peas in a Bucket</a>. The site offers tutorials, articles and even digital classes to help you master the craft of scrapbooking. Once you arrive at the site, be sure to click the Education link at the far right of the page. This will give you all the direction you may need. <br />
<br />
Okay, so how is that for starters. If you dream of learning or mastering a new hobby, hopefully one of these links will help.The Heinz'shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02918503114093848319noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5251269655803351352.post-80178001596617590182010-12-21T17:12:00.000-08:002010-12-21T17:12:43.393-08:00A Vintage Junky Christmas, anyone?Michelle at <a href="http://www.vintagejunky.blogspot.com/">Vintage Junky</a> is full of all sorts of great ideas, and this year, her <a href="http://vintagejunky.blogspot.com/2010/12/vintage-junky-christmas-2010.html">Holiday decorations</a> are to die for. I wish I was had 1/4 of the creativity that she has! Around her home this Christmas you can find intricately cut snowflake garlands, handmade snowglobes, vintage garlands, fishbowl decorations, and personalized stockings, just to name a few of the many beautiful items that fill her home with the spirit of the holiday season. Be sure to stop by her <a href="http://vintagejunky.blogspot.com/2010/12/vintage-junky-christmas-2010.html">blog</a> and say hello. Stay for a while and bask in the beauty of all her home has to offer! Then, check out her snowflake<a href="http://vintagejunky.com/hand_cut_paper_snow_flakes/paper_snowflake_how_to_template.pdf"> tutorial</a>, because, if you are like me, your snowflakes end up looking like the craft project of a 6 year old...and that is so not vintage junky!<br />

A combination of things that I plan on doing (someday) and if I don't post them on here, I have no idea how I will ever find the page again to complete this someday project.<br />
<br />
Here are two more of the said projects. Thanks to Abby with<a href="http://sewmuchado.blogspot.com/2010/01/tutorials_01.html"> Sew Much Ado</a>, I have found two EASY and free tutorials to complete for Willow's warmer weather wardrobe. The first one is for Baby Leg Warmers. After I read this tutorial, a light bulb went off in me head and I said, "Oh, that's how they do them." Duh. The second one is for a ruffle skirt out of an old t-shirt! Well, Blake and I just so happen to have HUNDREDS of old t-shirts. I bet you do too!<br />

I saw ornaments similar to these decorating the window of latteland in the power and light district. Every time Blake and I drive by, I oogle the window and say to myself, "I have got to figure out how to make those." Well, they are a lot more simpler than I ever could have imagined. <br />

Starting out in scrapbooking, I struggled with using beautiful pictures. I typically used whatever came on the roll that I developed and filled the page with blurry, no good, low resolution prints. I have turned my focus of scrapbooking from filling a page with lots of stickers and adding embellishments over the top to picking one fun, memorable, good quality photo and showcasing it with unique product. Now, with all the photo editing software out there, I realize that creating beautiful scrapbook pages is becoming easier and easier.<br />
<br />
I am not a great photographer. I am on the lookout for a new camera to go along with our high tech editing software. (If you have any suggestions, please let me know.) Many of you may know that I am a teacher, and I do have a blog that showcases my students and their writing. One of my students who is a phenomenal writer is also a brilliant photographer. I urge you to check out her <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/happiness-is-you/">photostream</a> on flickr. These pictures make me go weak in the knees!<br />

Okay, before you make fun, I am almost 26 years old, and yes, I do love paper dolls. I used to own all of the <a href="http://store.americangirl.com/agshop/static/home.jsp">American Girl</a> Paper dolls (we couldn't afford the actual doll) before American Girls became big...and did I mention big. I can't believe the store here in KC. A hair salon for dolls? Anyway, I am totally off subject (but slightly perturbed at the things girls can do today that we did not have when we were younger...) I am done with that tangent, I swear. The ladies over at <a href="http://www.redvelvetart.com/">Red Velvet Art</a> have their own <a href="http://www.redvelvetart.com/children/elsie-coloringbook">coloring book</a> and <a href="http://www.redvelvetart.com/children/rvagirls-dolls">paper dolls</a>. Isn't that wonderful. Now when you are stuffing stockings this year for Christmas, you can stick one in your daughter's, and then when she is not looking, you can borrow them for a little playdate. They are so much fun and would even look great hung in a frame in a playroom or bedroom. How perfect for yourse---I mean young ones!<br />

Don't get me wrong, I have been on the lookout for great Christmas Project Ideas, Scrap love and the likes of DIY project love. Let's just say that I have a little something called writer's block. Or maybe I should refer to it as Scrapper's Block? Anyway, to help get you through this downtime, be sure to check out Elsie Flanigan's 12 Days of Handmade at her site <a href="http://elsiecake.com/">elsiecake.com</a> from December 6th to December 17th. If you loved her Halloween Tricks and Treats, you ought to love these 12 days of DIY gifts too!<br />

I attached the letters onto a 6 inch circle and then backed those with an 8 inch circle of kraft paper. These are a timeless and beautiful holiday decoration. Create your own and feel free to personalize it too. If you would rather I make one for you, send me a quick comment or message. Prices run at $1.00 per letter.<br />

I do have a TON of projects started and underway at home, so I think I am going to save this one for a few months until my little lovie really starts playing with all of her dolls, but I just loved <a href="http://sewmamasew.com/blog2/?p=2311">this tutorial</a>, and the end product is crooked, uneven, and oh so perfect.<br />

This would make a great gift for a vintage collector or tie lover. You'll need a 14-inch wire wreath form from a crafts shop and 19 ties. Cut all ties but one into 15-inch lengths. Position the narrow end of first cut tie, front side up, on a section of the wreath. Wrap tie around form until pointed end is positioned as shown, hiding the rolled tie; secure with pins. Repeat, overlapping ties slightly. Flip wreath over; sew rolled-up ties to the backs of points. Pin on the uncut, bowed tie.<br />
