Frozen Finger solution - Sock Pop holder

Boo bear loves frozen yogurt and popsicles but her little fingers cannot stand the cold.  So since Cinnamon bear is not a sock wearer, and the laundry monster keeps taking sock sacrifices, we have a few mis matched pairs of her rarely worn socks floating around. I have seen little crochet covers online. 1. I cannot crochet to save my life , and 2. If there is something on had I can use, then even better.

another pretty basic idea..
Sock + Frozen pop =  Pop in Sock. 

DIY Easy as Pie Door Stopper.

 Ok, I checked out Pinterest after I posted this and there is another blogger that did this before. I should check out Pinterest before next time.
 It is summer time, almost.  The  heat is here and the windows are open. Which creates a nice cross breeze. Except when Cinnamon Bear is sleeping, that cross breeze may be nice, but can cause the doors to slam  shut waking her.

In my Pinterest watching I saw those fabric door covers that cover the latches on doors you can make yourself. They are a GREAT idea, but I need air flow in my home.

My last project where I made homemade water balls from sponges and nunchucks from pool noodles

 I had a pool noodle left over. I thought I would help Cinnamon Bear get a little more rest. Of course with 4 kids in the house during summer break ( and their friends coming in and out) , the baby gets woken frequently. (although, she can sleep through a concert) The cat will go in her room using her paw to open the door making a clicking noise which wakes her, or the door slams from the wind, or there are times I want to check on her but opening the door wakes her as well.


 SO In my desperation for her to finally take a nap I made these.

Here are your easy as pie instructions.

You will need, a  pool noodle, and a knife.

Cut pool noodle to desired length for door stopper. ( Do you see the kids teeth marks? LOL they must have been hungry or something.)

 Cut lengthwise a small sliver out of the noodle

BAM.. a door stopper that cost less than 1.00 to make. 

Enjoy! Finally Cinnamon bear can get a cool breeze through her room and sleep.
