    My 12 Favorite Projects from my first 200 Posts

    Published: Jan 29, 2021 by Heidi Fowler. This post may contain affiliate links 5 Comments

    I can't believe that I posted my 200th post last week!  I started blogging in January of 2012, and I am still loving it!  (I'm also still trying to find a balance between computer time and family time--but I'll get it figured out.)

    12 Favorite Projects from my First 200 Posts on OneCreativeMommy.com {Which is your favorite?}

    In celebration of my 200th post, I searched my archives to find my twelve favorite projects from the past.  Anyone recognize these?  To my readers who have been around since the beginning, thanks for sticking with me!  I hope you recognize a few of these posts.  To my new readers, I hope you find something that inspires you!

    I've updated the pictures in many of these posts, so I hope you'll find new favorites to pin.

    Here we go--in order of oldest to newest:

    Felt Ice Cream Felt Ice Cream Felt Pancakes and French Toast Felt Sandwiches Felt Popsicles Felt Food Roundup Image Map

    I enjoyed making felt food so much that I couldn't pick just one felt post.

    This image is linked to several posts, so just click on the project you want!  (The title links to a roundup of felt projects from around the web.)

     

    Repairing Scuffed Shoes {OneCreativeMommy.com} Add new life to your kids (or your) shoes! #shoe#repair

    DIY Repairing Scuffed Shoes

    This post still makes me laugh.  The day after I finished the shoes, my daughter decided to "share" the glitter with her friends at school.  They picked off almost all of the glitter, and I had to do it again.  Before sending her to school in the new pair, I had to explain--"Sharing is nice, but we don't have to destroy our clothing to do it!"

    Grow Your Blog:  Photo Lightbox Tutorial

    I had so much feedback on this post.  I love that the lightbox is helping you as much as it has helped me!  Here's to better pictures!

     

    Duck Tape Scooter Makeover from OneCreativeMommy.com  {Don't throw away that faded scooter.  Give it a fresh new look with duck tape!  This scooter went from Barbie to all grown up!}

    Duck Tape Scooter Makeover (What to do when your Barbie-loving kid grows up)

    This has to be one of my all-time favorite projects.  I loved working with my oldest daughter to turn her faded Barbie scooter into this fantastically grown-up version.
