One thing I can say is that I can always find something I haven’t seen before on Pinterest!  Today’s pin is comical yet still tasty :) .  If you have a sense of humor I am sure you will appreciate this recipe for sparkly rainbow unicorn poop!  I know my 5 year old twin girls thought it was the funniest thing ever.  The best part is they are actually tasty sugar cookies!

365 Days of Pinterest: Day 11 ~ Scarf Organization!

This is just another  great thing I stumbled upon on Pinterest and wanted to share for 365 Days of Pinterest!

Today I stumbled across this today when I got on to Pinterest.  I have to say I have a decent amount of scarves and have struggled to figure out a good storage option until today!  I can for see there being issues with sliding on heavier scarves, but seriously what a great idea?  And you can get the stuff you need at the dollar store for only $2!  You can find more pictures as well as a mini tute of sorts on the blog from the desk.

365 Days of Pinterest: Day 10 ~ Upcycled Baby Blanket!

This is just another  great thing I stumbled upon on Pinterest and wanted to share for 365 Days of Pinterest!

Today’s 365 Days of Pinterest isn’t something I actually found on Pinterest but something I found on a dear friends blog Confessions of a Barefoot Housewife and pinned to Pinterest.  She LOVES to upcycle stuff so recently she upcycled a bunch of her daughters not longer needed burp rags/receiving blankets into a new baby blanket!  She cut the blankets into strips and then wove them together.  It turned out super cute and she made a tutorial to go along with it!

365 Days of Pinterest: Day 9 ~ Oatmeal Coconut Raspberry Bars

This is just another  great thing I stumbled upon on Pinterest and wanted to share for 365 Days of Pinterest!

I have to say I have a board just for ‘Recipes to Try’ on Pinterest & I kid you no 95% of them are cocktails or sweets!  I love coconut & most fruity flavors so when I saw this I fell in love!!!  Not only can you make them as is as oatmeal coconut raspberry bars but they would be super tasty with cherry too!

I LOVE this tutorial that Delia Creates has for making easy knit produce bags out of t-shirts!  I love green projects, especially when upcycling is involved because not  only is it good for the environment, but it’s affordable too!  I can’t wait to make some of these.

365 Days of Pinterest: Day 7 ~ Paint with Water Pages

This is just another  great thing I stumbled upon on Pinterest and wanted to share for 365 Days of Pinterest!

What a great idea this is from Creative with Kids.  You can check out their post on how to make your own paint with water pages.  These are way cooler then the books we had as kids.  The best part is if you have a laser printer you can always printer out coloring pages first & then apply the paint for even more fun on the go if your kids like coloring in pictures too!

365 Days of Pinterest: Day 4 ~ Fit for a Fairy!

This is just another  great thing I stumbled upon on Pinterest and wanted to share for 365 Days of Pinterest!

This flower petal canopy from The Modest Homestead is fit for all those little fairies & princesses!  I wish I had found this tutorial when the twins were younger.  Don’t get me wrong they would still LOVE to have these, but sadly we are moving into bunk bed territory this year.

While browsing the site after finding the canopy on Pinterest I found three other ADORABLE tutorials for your little fairy :) .

365 Days of Pinterest: Day 3 ~ Laundry Basket Station!

This is just another  great thing I stumbled upon on Pinterest and wanted to share for 365 Days of Pinterest!

Let me start out by saying when I saw this back in Sept. I fell IN LOVE.  As a mom of 4 young kids and a husband that likes to work out we go through a LOT of laundry and for years that along with the confines of a tiny laundry closet has a huge negative impact on our house.  Don’t get me wrong, we had one of those rolling 3 bin laundry centers but it would only hold 1/2 a load of each type of laundry and I am OCD about my laundry and won’t mix the colors.

Anyway long story short over Thanksgiving vacation in Nov. my dear hubby decided to build it for us :) .  I have to say it is one of the best things we have done to our house!  We did modify it a bit as we already had a bunch of square baskets.  That being said I now have 6 baskets that hold 1 load each & the who family can reach them!  I have 2 for darks, 1 for light colors, 1 for whites, 1 for towels & 1 for anything that has stains.  I will say this has made things go about 900X smoother and there hasn’t been any dirty laundry on the laundry room floor in almost 6 weeks!  This by far has been the most beneficial Pinterest find of mine so far.  The friends and family who have seen it want their own and have them on their to do lists now too.

The project including pictures from readers and the full building plans can be found over at Ana-White.com.  If you or someone you know likes to work with wood this site is AMAZING!  She see’s nice practical over priced stuff in catalogs and designs plans to make it at home and shares them with her readers for free!  She includes full supplie lists and everything.

I have seen pictures where people making them only 2 high & build 4… they stick them back to back side to side and slapped a table top on top to make an awesome laundry room island… I just wish I had that much space! People have even put nice counter tops and doors on them.  Not only is it great for the laundry room, but it is a great affordable alternative to a cheap dresser or in a walk in closet and they would also be great yarn bins in a craft room!  I may ask my hubby to build a similar idea that uses dollar store bins for my craft room… that would be awesome!
