A little love in the Master Bedroom

By: Freetimefrolics

Mandi over at Vintage Revivals is having an Epic room Make over.  Oh how I need this.  Our bedroom is sad, sad and tan. Boring and brown. I tried to decorate it but never completed it.
Our home was a foreclosure and we have done a lot of work. New carpet, paint and appliances.  But that was as far as we got.  We ran out of money. Other rooms have taken priority.  You know the ones people see when they walk in your house. So that means the master bedroom is low on love….. Boring, drab, the dumping spot for laundry, kids toys and the catch all. Do you want to see??? So I made this little video to share.  My room needs Mandi! I even wrote a song just for you Mandi.  I figured it was the thing to do!

I know this is a low budget film. Don’t knock it. I spent $10 on garage band and i movie. It was 10 o’clock at night. A girls gotta do what a girls gotta do.

Our bay/ french door are kind of stupid. Only one opens.  They window don’t open either.  I made these curtains to block out the light and add a little color to the room.

In this picture there is a remnant of the last owners TV wall stand. They painters did not even remove it before they painted. How lazy of them.  But know my leftover paint has changed colors so I can’t really fix it.

Not quite sure what to do with this shelfy thing.  It is about 3 feet by 12 feet.  It has electrical outlets for lighting.  My husband thinks its a great place for and hammock.  What do you think???

They say your bedroom should be a retreat.  A place to relax and get away and share a little {Love}.  Mandi as you can see there is not much {Love} in this bedroom.  Its cluttered and boring.  I need you!!!
Mandi here are the reasons you should come to Idaho!
1. We need a little more {LOVE} in the bedroom. You can help {wink wink}
2. Idaho is Awesome!  And close to home. The days are warm and the evenings are cool.
3. I am a seamstress, painter, sander, stenciler wantabe and baker.  My skills are at your disposal.
4.  I have an extra room for you and Hailee to crash in.  You even get your own bathroom.  Or a hotel just minutes from my home.
5. I have a cute group of Idaho bloggers that will claw (Literally) the door down to meet and decorate with you.  I may have to set up security! So you see not only will you save my bedroom you will have groupies too! They would be so happy to meet you!
6.We grow great potatoes.
7. My husband would appreciate any help you can give to our bedroom. He would love for you to set the mood.
8. My husband said I am Queen Nerd for singing you a song.  I told him it took king of the Nerds to make me the Queen! I did it just for you!
9.My room needs a little Mandilicious-ness.  Please come!!!!!!!
Phaaaaaleeeeeease come to my house!

First order of business

Meredith from Haute to Sew picked my blog to receive the Liebster Award.  I am so honored.   I had not heard of the Liebster Award until then.  So here is a little background.

Liebster Award

 Liebster is German for ‘dearest’ or ‘beloved’– but it can also mean ‘favorite’. The Liebster award was created to give some attention to those blogs with less than 200 followers.

So when I found out that I won the Liebster Award from Meredith I was super excited. You should check out her blog.  Its super cute and filled with lots of tips and tricks and projects.  Defiantly in my blog reader.

2. Reveal your five picks for the award and let them know.
3. Post the award on your blog.
4. Bask in the love from the most supportive people on the blogshare-other bloggers.
5. Finally and the best rule of all………have fun and spread the love!


And now here are my 5 faves that follow the guidelines for the award so you can check these lovelies out in no particular order:

1. Baking with Blondie
2. Tish-Delectable Home I picked her before she hit her 200 followers.  I am so glad she reached that milestone. Congrats!
3. Michelle- Jones Party of 5
4.  Those Crafty Sisters
5. Kendal1- Every Day Giggles

And to celebrate my Liebster award and reaching 100 followers I would love to do a giveaway.So here’s how it goes.

Over $50.00 in prizes mailed right to your house.

Birthday Girl

By: Freetimefrolics

I have 1 Little Miss.
 I don’t know what I would do without her.  She truly is an inspiration and a little ray of sunshine. 
I love my boys. They keep me busy and I love it. 
I was raised in a boy world. 
Growing up I had 4 younger brothers, 7 Uncles, 1 Aunt and 
 8 boy cousins.  I get boys.
 I had to be rough and tumble to survive.
I was the only girl on both sides of my family. Until I was an adult.
So having a girl of my own was kind of a Pipe Dream.
I went into every pregnancy expecting a boys.
I even told my self I could have a dozen boys if I only had 1 girl.
Crazy right???
But one day the Stars, Moon and Planets were aligned and I got my girl.
They had to break the mold with this one.
Blond,Curly Hair, Blue eyes, Skin like Porcelain, and a whole lot of {Sassy}
But having one little girl to dress up, shop with, and learn from is a very special thing.
 I love to sew for her. And she loves to have a new little something, anytime.
For her birthday pictures I made her this.
Peasant Top and Ruffled Pants.
I used my Simply Jane Pattern I wrote and sell on Etsy.
With the Pattern you can make a peasant dress or a top.
For the pants I used a pajama bottoms pattern.
(Just a random pattern I had in her size)
Her sash is made of yellow fabric and twisted fabric flowers.

Her head band is twisted fabric flowers and ric rac for the leaves

See is quite the character.

I had to throw this one in. she just looked so cute. 
{Those curls are all her.  I am not quite sure what to do.}
 This little girl is my inspiration and the reason I craft and sew like I do. 
Here is my shop.
 Named just for the one that inspires me.
I am entering this project in Sew-vivor
Wish me Luck

First Post

By: Freetimefrolics

I am so excited to get started!  I have been a blogger for a while but as of late I am really behind. Now is time for me to start. I have been racking my brain for a catchy name and here it is. Free Time Frolics. 
I have so many ideas in my head and I need to get them out.  I love crafting, sewing, digi scrapping, and trying new things (to a fault). I drive my husband crazy with all my craftastic stuff! I have 4 kiddos that keep me busy but crafting, sewing and all things girly keeps me sane.  Eventually I will introduce you to my 3 Princes and a Princess but for now Enjoy!
