Weekend roundup: Favorite Finds #5


Once upon a time when I had more time to blog I would share some of my favorite finds from that week.  The hope was to inspire you and myself to do some of those things from our ever growing pinterest boards. Then life happened and I stopped.  One of my goals for the year is to spend more time on my blog and more time creating.  Over the last couple of weeks I have been making some big changes trying to become a better me.  One of the things I realized I'm missing is taking the time to create. Believe it or not this was once a craft blog and I hope to get back to adding much more of that this year.   In my hello post it says "Here you'll find crafts and tutorials, kids crafts & activities, thrifty decorating, family life, and whatever else comes our way in our "cozy red cottage" and that really sums up where I what I want to get back too...a little bit of everything! I am really excited to see where this will take me and hope you continue to follow along :)  With that being said most of these roundup will be completely random and without a theme...that's kind of how I roll with thing haha.  Also I do have a facebook group called "pinterest tried" that has also been forgotten.  That is another one of my goals is to hang out over there and create a special group that encourages and inspires ourselves and others to create.  I would love for you to join me and share some of your favorite things that inspire you OR some of the things you tried or created! 

Okay lets get started with some of my favorite finds this week!

The first is the cutest crochet pattern from one of my very favorite shops, Nella's Cottage.  If you crochet check her out.  Her appliques and patters are amazing.  This is one of her new ones and all proceeds are being donated to help with the wildfires in Australia.  I can't wait to make something with it!  You can find it  here

One of my goals for the year is to learn how to knit.  Do you any of you knit?  I'm hoping to learn how so I can make these for next winter.  You can find the pattern here
Now a few things for the kids.  I have 5 kids (most love projects) and teach preschool so I'm always on the hunt for a great craft.  I loved directed drawings and this one is so adorable!  Found here

And  this is so cute for the bathroom.  I love that  it is diy and there is a tutorial!  I'm ready to pull out the tools (another one of my goals this year).  Find it here

I love that there are so many talented people that share their creativity and skills.  It really inspires me.  I'd love to know what is inspiring you this week either in the comments or over my facebook group page.
