Our favorite crafts recap

In an attempt to inspire our creative sides and to celebrate our blog's six month birthday (it was on July 1... oops), we have decided to review some of our favorite crafts we have done so far on a clover & a bee!  Bleach Dipped Plaid Button Up- we got really excited about bleach for awhile there...My dorm smelled constantly of bleach. This bleach dipped plaid shirt turned out really well and we got a good laugh because people thought that I was pregnant due to some odd camera angles...

Glitter Dipped Mason Jars- we love all things shiny and involving mason jars (usually) so making a glitter dipped mason jar seemed inevitable. We loved the ways it turned out-Our toothbrushes look so fancy in it! Bleach Dipped Levi Shorts-Its true, we pretty much live in our Levi shorts. Thus the need to own several pairs that look slightly different so we experimented with bleach and added a few studs. Cute right? Cat Print Dress-We don't own a cat and may be slightly allergic, but cats are just to cute to leave out of the crafting fun. we used an apple to print little cat heads all over one of our dresses and love the way it turned out. Heart Print Table Cloth- During our Valentines themed week we made our own heart print table cloth using, you guessed it, an apple! This process of printing is our new favorite. Embroidered Cocktail Napkins- Wiping your face is so much more fun when wiping it with cute fabric with adorable phrases hand stitched into them. Its true, this is a real testimony. This was such a simple DIY for making your table just a little cuter. Crochet Skirt- In the winter we lived in these crochet skirts! They are adorable paired with a big chunky sweater and some tights. Turns out they are also pretty simple to make (that is if you have atleast some sewing experience!) Here is to another six months (and then some) of crafting! Hope you guys are having fun with us! - Leah and Erin

a clover & a bee with Mojo's Coffee Bar

Last week we teamed up with our friend Sara for a fun summer photoshoot to promote some new items at Mojo's Coffee Bar. Erin and I have both worked at Mojo's for a few years now, but we promise that all opinions are our own and have no influence from our boss:) Mojo's is an adorable little coffee shop in North Newton, Kansas that offers the best coffee around!

Recently Mojo's began to sell Cuppow lids that convert your everyday mason jar into a fun new sippy cup! They make carrying out cold drinks so much more convenient! We took them on a picnic with our pup and had a wonderful time sipping on iced toddys from Mojo's.

If you get a chance, you should stop by Mojo's and check out their Cuppow lids and iced toddys!

what we wore

when we were sippin' sun tea on the porch.

As you may have noticed, we are now a clover & a bee. This all happened very suddenly, you may think, but this is just an example of an impulsive decision that we are oh so happy with. Lately we've realized that we really are some pretty impulsive decision makers. If I get an idea that I'm even somewhat excited about in my head, I have to run with it immediately. Gonna buy a new camera? I must do it now. Gonna cut my hair? I must do it now. Anyways, a few weeks ago I decided to pierce my nose. Sadly it was Sunday and there were no tattoo parlors open, but I decided it had to happen, and went the next day. I'm thrilled with it! The other night Leah showed me a picture of a hair cut she wanted. She wanted me to try and cut it for her (oh dear) but I was tired and going to bed. The next morning I woke up and she had an adorable new long bob, courtesy of her own scissor skills.

glitter dipped mason jar diy

The moving process continues! It feels as though things are slowly coming together. Little decorations pop up here and there even though there are still big blank walls and open spaces left. Over the weekend we made this little glitter dipped mason Jar for my toothbrush. Erin already had spray painted hers, so we wanted to make one that matched.

You'll Need: Mod Podge, painters tape, glitter, a mason jar, a paint brush, and a small bowl.





This ended up being incredibly easy to make. All we did was put a ring of tape around the outside of the jar and mix up a bowl of mod podge and glitter (this prevents you from getting glitter all over your house...). We then painted on the glitter glue mixture, peeled off the tape, and turned it upside down to dry. We think it ended up being really cute! And they look so good next to each other in our bathroom.

We can't wait to see what little decorations we'll think of next. We'll be sure to share them!
