On My Radar: Dazzling High Chair Decorations

Welcome to a shiny new series on my blog called "On my Radar." Basically, I will be featuring stuff and ideas that I think are devastatingly hip and happening:)

It's all in the presentation. I adore original and well thought out parties-down to the very last tiniest detail.

Charming and clever details never go unnoticed by true party lovas:)

Nothing is more adorable and polished than a beautifully decorated high chair for a little one's birthday. Perfect finishing touch that is often overlooked, but makes a world of difference.
Now...some serious cuteness...

 Way beyond charming. Made with love.


Ridiculously adorable. Times two.
{via Toni~ CPN}

So fabulous & French. Dreamy.

Fascinating Laura trivia:)

Favorite color? Definitely Pink! Oh . . .and RED! I love pink because there are so many shades to work with & it reminds me of my little sweet pea (my daughter) & red because it just exudes PASSION - gotta have passion for everything - to do what we do . . .hmmm but I wear black ALL the time so maybe black too?


favorite team? Well here in Ohio we have a slight pride for our college team that rocks it every year - none other than the our beloved BUCKEYES! We take it very seriously here - we bleed scarlet & grey . . .hubby even has the man cave decked out in all Buckeye decor! Can I get an O-H . . . . I-O! =)

if you could only eat one food for the rest of your life, what would it be? Ice Cream! No matter how full you are you can always eat ice cream - it just fills in the cracks! lol And of course the daily intake of dark chocolate - the doctor SAID it was good for me ya know!

party trend you are crushing on? Details! I am a firm believer in IF the details are AWESOME - the little details will MAKE the party! Ohhh and I am loving the ORIGINALITY I am seeing lately. ORIGINAL designs I think will make a party stand out! Also party peeps coming together to create/ work together - need MORE of that!

party trend you are so over? I hate to say it but huge stylized parties that are not real. Have I done a couple myself? Yes - but I think doing them in moderation is ok & if it serves a purpose but I believe the trend is people are wanting duplicatable parties - something that can actually DO! If they feel they can't do it - then will they buy from you? Something to ponder. . . .

favorite aisle in the craft store? Do I have to pick one? Wow - fabric - so much inspiration there & also seasonal goodies . . . the little things you can use that just gives your party that WOW factor! Oh . . .and tissue paper & napkins - I have an issue - I always have to buy some - you can create so much out of those inexpensive things!

do you wear Uggs? Ummmm . . .that would be a huge NO! I really hate those things & it's probably because I only see those girls wearing them that do it in 90 degree weather w/ their butts hangin out of their shorts & they have no idea what they look like! Really? WHO on earth told them they could pull off that look! yuck

do you really exercise? hmmmm . . .my right index finger really gets a fantastic daily work out but other than that - yeah I am gonna have to say no on this one. My name is Laura & I am here to say that YES - I HATE exercise. Period.

minivan or non minivan driving? Gonna have to go with the big hell NO on this as well. Told myself if I ever had kids - I would NEVER drive one . . . more of a Mustang or drive the Explorer kind of girl! - just depends on if the little one is with me! lol

favorite holiday? Christmas because of the meaning - the TRUE meaning! What a better day! And I love all the preparing for it - it takes me one month at least to decorate the house for it - I even have 6 different themed trees I put up! I LOVE it! Plus knowing that I am creating all those memories for my daughter is worth it!

favorite smell? Coconut anything - reminds me of the beach - LOVE that smell! Oh & the smell of walking into a Starbucks - hmmmmm . . .good stuff! Oh & Sweet Pea from bath & body works - my daughter rocks that - it's her signature scent! =)

do you color your hair? Helloooooo - doesn't everyone? I have a standing appt. w/ the color gods like every 3 weeks since my hair grows that fast. (and I HAVE to - read between the lines on THAT one! lol) But I recently went a little blonder - love changin it up - so gettin back to my original color. I think it's blonde . . .well yeah maybe?

do you think you’re cool? Of course I am - I am friends with the Purple Pug aren't I? And only the cool people hang with her!

• Do you color your hair? Oh yes. I am a brunette and YIKES, already have a few grays peaking through.

The Ice Cream Shop...

I had a little "Chicken Soup for the Soul" moment this afternoon. My little chimps had today off from school. I took them out for an afternoon of adventure with Mama. Michael's, Burger King, Dollar Store and Carvel-I know-the exciting itinerary...
Anyhoo, we were in Carvel, my lads eating their treats and in walks a group of three tween-ish type kids.  Two boys and one girl.  I am secretly hoping they don't get loud and obnoxious with my little guys in there. The boys went up to the counter and were going over the prices and how much money they had. They were kind of dirty, dirty hands, fingernails, clothing and hair and they looked like skater type punks. As do most kids these days...They kept asking the cashier how much for a small, or for a medium, then how much for the small again..They asked if there was a price difference between cones and cups. They asked if they could split the scoops for different flavors in a two scoop. As I listened to them, I realized they were just sweet, dorky tweens...They finally took out the money from their pockets and all they had was loose change. No bills at all...All change. The young girl kept saying she did not want anything.  I do not think they had enough money for all three of them and she knew it....so the boys set their coins out and finally were able to make their decisions. The first boy ordered his and slid over all the change across the counter to pay. He gave his change to his friend..Boy number two figured out what he could afford to buy with the change that was left..He placed his order..Then he asked quickly if sprinkles cost extra..They do...so his friend gave him another two quarters to get ready to pay. I just found them charming and sweet at this point and I was sorry I pinned them as punks when they walked in.. Two obviously poor kids scraping up money to buy ice cream was just endearing to me. Such a fun kid thing to do.They were adorable. The lady behind the counter handed boy number two his cone and then rang him up. He slides his coins over to her and she hands him back his change which was 20 cents.

And you know what this beautiful child did? He put the 20 cents in the tip jar. I felt tears well up in my eyes. I know, total tool, but I was just taken so off guard by this boy's heart when clearly he has so very little.
I wish I knew him or his parents because I would tell them about their child's small act of kindness. I wish that kid the moon and stars.

Yarn Pom Pom Monster Tutorial

Finally finished up the quick and easy pom pom monster tutorial.

I am a crazy crafter. I scour the internet for tutes and ideas...Then I take bits and pieces from them and just do my own thing because I am always looking for the quick and lazy way to finish things. And usually, I try to make items with stuff I already have around the house.SO..if you want a precision pom pom you may want to find another tutorial..LOL. I also take way too many pictures-I just really like to show lots of deets about what I am doing. Nothing worse to me than a tute with two pictures. I need visuals...and a glue gun:)

Any questions, just ask away:)



 Gather up the junk you have around your house
Shown are two different types of yarn, pipe cleaners,
buttons, googly eyes, feathers, craft poms, scissors, glue gun,
pom pom maker.

 Chunky yarn, or thinner yarn will work perfectly.
Do NOT use cotton yarn or fuzzy yarn-it will shed everywhere!
I also use a pom pom maker. I have the small disks and the
wooden one. I use the wooden one 99% of the time.
You can buy a pom pom maker for a few dollars at any craft store.

 If using feathers-keep them in the bag until
ready to use... They really FLY!



 So..I will be using my wooden pom pom maker for this.
You set the dowels whatever width apart you would like
for different sized pom poms.

 I used the chunky yarn first. Hang it over the dowels..
And then start winding...

 Go back and forth when you wind so it stay pretty evenly
thick. Do not wrap too tightly or it will be difficult to
remove form the dowels. This shows about 15 rotations around.

This shows about 80 rotations around. This is thick yarn
so I do not need a ton of rotations around. Next, cut a long piece of your yarn-
you will use this to tie your pom. It will be too long-you can cut it later.

 Next...Take the piece of yarn you just cut and
wrap it around the "waist" of the yarn. Do not tie a knot-
just cross over and secure lightly so you can remove the yarn from
the dowels.

Slide the yarn off the dowels and then knot
the yarn piece tightly. You will still have the
hanging ends-LEAVE them-you can cut them later if you
want.

 Scissor time...Stick the blade in the center and
start cutting down the middle. Try to stay
centered so your pieces will be pretty even.
Do not use your best scissors. They will take
a beating when doing this.

 Be AWARE of where your two yarn strings are
when you are cutting. You do not want to cut them off
by accident!

 Keep cutting around the circle of yarn.
It's FUN!

 When you have cut all the way through, it will
look like a sloppy meatball.

 Mama and baby sloppy meatball.

 I repeated the same process with the
blue, thinner yarn...

 Wrapped around about 15 times.

Loosely tied with a piece of yarn, then slide
off the dowels.

 Tie your knot tightly..Do not cut tails of yarn!

 Cut around the perimeter.

Try to stay centered.


Four pink and blue meatballs with their yarn strings still attached.
This would be cute for a baby shower. Someone
do a pink and blue yarn pom pom monster baby shower.
PLEASE:)
Now..haircut time.....
Take your poms and trim away. It will get MESSY.
For these monsters, I like the more messy pom, fur look.
You can keep trimming them down to get a more precise,
traditional, tighter pom look.

Make sure you cut over a garbage can. It gets very furry.
Keep cutting all around until you are happy with the
look and it is relatively even.

Next..I select their outfits and accessories...Makes
it easier to glue when I am already with glue gun in hand..

Take pipe cleaners and do the classic wrap around
the pencil trick. Then cut in half to make antennae.

Hot glue craft pom poms for little fluffy feet.

Faceless, but footed..LOL

Next, I hot glued googly eyes. You could add noses,
 mouths or belly buttons:)


Hot glued in the pipe cleaners antennae. Hairbows
or flowers would be super cute too.

Feather time. No likey. Very messy and
feather remnants fly everywhere...The price
you pay to craft...

Finished furry friends on my Homegoods cake stand that
I had to have, but never use, and feel guilty like I need to get my money's
worth- so I will use it as a photo prop. BAM! 


There you have it...Now you can use those strings to hang them
from anywhere...Attach to garland, packages, decorations, etc. If
you do not want the strings, now you can snip away:)
