kukunest bedding

 I have been thinking about how I want to decorate my little girl's room once she moves out of her crib.  It will be awhile before we get to that point but part of the fun is searching for just the right bedding!  I found Kukunest and have fallen in love with the prints.  Modern but not too much, great colors and different from what I have seen out there.  I am loving the Latern Festival print - red and pink are the primary colors in her bedroom now.  Prices are decent too which is such a relief when trying to decorate on a budget.

cookie magazine...the on-line version

I was madly disappointed when Cookie Magazine closed shop back in October.  What a relief that the website is still active and full of great stuff!  I especially like the DIY easy sock puppets and ride-on pony crafts.  Easy enough that your child could help, these projects are perfect for those rainy Spring afternoons. Check out the site for travel, entertaining, design and kid friendly recipes too!

Ride-on Pony

Materials

sock
cotton or polyfill stuffing
wooden rod (such as an old broom handle)
ruler
duct tape
cord
scissors
yarn
felt
glue

1. Fill the sock with the stuffing until it's firm.
2. Measure 4 inches from the tip of the rod and wrap duct tape around that spot 10 to 12 times to create a ridge.
3. Push the rod into the sock (through the stuffing) until the taped ridge is a few inches below the sock's heel.
4. Tie 2 feet of cord around the sock and pole, just below the ridge, to serve as reins.
5. Cut yarn for the mane and felt for the ears and eyes. Attach them with glue.
