Sequins & Studs

We don't know how the rest of you moms do it. Bringing your kids together for a giant, or little, playdate, and end up conversing with each other while the kids nicely play. Caitlyn and I gave it a go today so we could work on some blog things, and you wouldn't believe the amount of fighting that went on between K and S. We swear we raise them in calm, loving homes, but somehow they pick up on hitting, pushing, yelling and the like from somewhere and use it on each other. What is your secret!?

It even got so bad that Caitlyn had to whisk S away from the house earlier than planned and head home. Something about Thomas the Train, and not wanting to share with K. Kids... Or is it boys... ?

DIY: Metallic Leather Elbow Patches

Here's another easy DIY to add a little sparkle to your holiday wear. I like this one, because it's no sew for all of those like me who are no good at it. I wanted to add something to this sweater from F21. I bought some metallic leather off Ebay a while back for another project I used.   

Trace the size of patch you want on the backside of the leather. I used a pen, and it worked well.

I didn't picture the glue I used, but it's called Tanner's Bond Leathercraft Cement. This is good stuff and works like a charm. I bought it from Hobby Lobby. After liberally applying the glue, I used my finger to smear it around the edge so it would go all the way to the very edge.

And there you have it, Leather elbow patches. Faux leather fabric would also work well, and look just as good!

Thanks for reading!
