I’m so sad right now! But not I’m-in-my-bedroom-crying-because-some-terrible-thing-happened sad. It’s more of a I-had-an-awesome-idea-that-someone-else-beat-me-to kind of sad. I had this post planned for the past couple of months and it was going to be awesome! But these folks beat me to it! That is how I eat cupcakes, and it is definitely the best way…
Well here it is! I finally put together a tutorial for the bucket hats I have been working on for Laura. These reversible hats are given to cancer patients, and they area really easy to sew up. Once you’ve made one you might as well make a dozen. If you want to make some and…
I have been so busy lately with freelance work that I haven’t had any time to do anything creative, in a hands-on sense. Sometimes when I get too busy, my brain just shuts down and if I don’t stop and make something, I get a little crazy. So the other night, instead of finishing up…
We made this super cute bird feeder last night. I thought I’d share it as a mini-DIY. Like there aren’t enough bird feeder tutorials out there! Oh well, I think its cute. I was sick last week, and so I’ve spend the past 2 days cleaning my house back up. Fun, I know. Tonight I…
I’ve got a little crafty DIY for you today! I love crafting with things found in nature, because going outside and collecting it is half the fun! (AND it’s free, so that’s a bonus too.) So get out there, collect some sticks, and let’s get started. 1. You will need: A large piece of paper,…
This blog is being guest posted on by Crystalyn’s evil genius husband. Now I know what most of you are thinking: “Hey, I know her husband, he’s not evil, and he’s defiantly not a genius!” Well, I have always taken the Columbo approach to my evil geniusing: Make em’ think you’re a bumbling idiot and…
A few weeks ago I decided to try and reteach myself how to knit. I had big dreams of knitting up some beautiful fair isle Christmas stockings. (Maybe someday.) After a good hour of yelling at my yarn and getting laughed at by my wonderful husband, Juniper decided to show me how its done. So…
We have had an unusually high amount of chocolate around here lately, with the holidays and all. After we made peppermint bark last week I was in a chocolate melting mood, and we had some mini marshmallows leftover from Juniper’s birthday party so I thought I’d make some smores bark! Seemed like a good idea.…
When I saw this Candy Cane Bunting tutorial on Smashed Peas and Carrots, I was inspired to put together my own version with real candy canes. I just love how putting two candy canes together makes a heart. (Back to my heart-shaped obsession.) So here’s what you’ll need: candy canes, cotton thread, decorative ribbon or…
I was doing some thrift shopping the other day and I found this adorable shirt in the children’s section. It fit me, but really isn’t my style. I just had to buy it though, because it’s so true: I DO love skinny boys with glasses! (Well, one skinny man in particular ?) I decided I…
