Over 6 years that I have been doing DIY projects closets have become a particular speciality of mine. I’ve completed many closet re-vamps in every floor of my house as well as multiple in my parent’s home. I thought it would be fun to do a recap of those projects to see how far I’ve come. This week we will focus on all of the closets at my parents’ house.

 I'm finally getting back into working on my son's room epic room. The kids are currently using a mattress on the floor as a crash pad but that mattress will eventually need to go into the Murphy bed that I have planned. We still need a crash pad, though, so I decided to use an old crib mattress that we had. I needed a cover for the mattress but they can be pretty pricey, so I decided to just make my own.

 Welcome back to Breezing Through! Its been a few weeks since I have consistently posted. I've had some health issues going on that have made me not feel well enough to do a lot. I'm slowly trying to figure out what's going on, though, so thanks for being patient with me! This week I decided that I was sick of not creating and building because they bring me joy so I'm starting with something small to fill my cup. Today, we're doing some cute and simple pipe cleaner flowers.

Hi! Sydney here again with another craft for you. Today it’s personalized party walls. This all started when I looked at the large wall in my kitchen the night before my son’s 2nd farm themed birthday and said “that could be a barn”. Since then the (sometimes wayyyyy too detailed) party walls have become a tradition. Do I sometimes hate myself for starting this tradition? Absolutely. Is it all worth it when I see the joy It brings my kids? Definitely. I use inexpensive materials and a little creativity and they end up being a HUGE hit and something that my kids look forward to every year!

Today I'm going to show you how to make an elephant helmet. I know it sounds random, but my daughters elementary school asked me to help with the costumes for the school musical. I made elaborate ocean scenery last year for Finding Nemo and am making the elephant costume heads for this year's performance of The Jungle Book. My daughter is a separate elephant so this isn't her costume, but I made them for the rest of the "elephant herd". The school requested 6 total and wanted something that you could see the kids' faces, but was more elaborate than a headband with ears. I wasn't finding any tutorials online that were what we were looking for so I kind of had to make up my own process, but it ended up working out SO great so let me show you what I did.
