Sewing, Crafts, and Home DIY
I know I missed the deadline for the whole Teacher Appreciation week on this project but since the end of the school year is coming up, I'm sure that teacher gifts are still a hot topic! These pencil vases were SUPER easy and quick to make, very inexpensive and versatile. Anyone can whip these out and you can use anything you have--pencils, colored pencils, pens, markers, crayons. I put some flowers in these vases but you can also fill … [Read more...]
Time for the next episode of Ellie's Nursery! This faux sheepskin rug is SO easy to make yourself, no sewing required! The only thing you'll need is the fabric and some good scissors. I really wanted to get a fluffy furry rug for Ellie's room, but all of the good ones were $300+. Since I'm doing her room on the cheap, this was too much for one item. In fact, I think the most expensive thing in her room is her crib which was still … [Read more...]
This post was originally published on Time Out For Women Today I'm sharing with you a very easy Easter gift idea using those irresistible marshmallow bunnies--PEEPS. Easter seems like the time when all of the kids get Easter baskets full of goodies, but what about the rest of us? There is always a reason to give a little something extra to the loved ones in your life, or even as a way of saying "thank you" to anyone at all who has helped … [Read more...]
I like making pillowcases...and this stenciled pillow turned out so much better than I imagined! I was sent a stencil pack from Handmade Charlotte stencils with so many fun designs. So many possibilities for these stencils came to mind, but remembering these fun doodled bowls I did for Valentine's Day, I wanted to try it again. This project isn't as fast as making a pillow with a plain piece of fabric, obviously, but the time is worth … [Read more...]
Another item for my daughter's nursery...these gold dipped bar stools!! I know that I took pictures of these in the kitchen but you can see them much better like this. You'll see them in her room for the full reveal. Can any of you guess the theme of her room? I, like probably many of you, have some of these old basic bar stools. These were very popular in the 90's I think. But I inherited these from my in-laws and actually still … [Read more...]
I really heart Martha Stewart Glitter. I mean, it really is superior to other kinds of glitter. It comes in SO many colors and is so fine that the overall effect is like a diamond sparkle. And that is why I can't resist doing a zillion crafts with Martha Stewart glitter. Here's a cute and easy vase that is perfect for St. Patrick's Day or maybe if you just like a little sparkly rainbow in your life! I filled this vase with gold-foil … [Read more...]
I'm having fun looking through all the St Patricks Day crafts that you've all linked up at the St. Patrick's Day Linkup! I still can't believe that I haven't ever made anything for St. Patrick's Day before this year. I was seriously missing out! I want to know---who decorates for St. Patrick's Day? Do you not decorate but make St. Patrick's day treats? Tell me some of your St. Patrick's Day traditions. Here are some of my favorites … [Read more...]
Even though it's been sunny, we're still stuck inside with 30 degree temps. So I'm always looking for kids craft ideas--especially if they are holiday themed! For some reason I am super into St. Patrick's Day this year and the color green is just popping up everywhere! So I saw these dried split-peas at the store and knew I could do something fun with my kids with them. And this is where we get Split-Pea Shamrocks! I know, they really … [Read more...]
