Sewing, Crafts, and Home DIY
I was thrilled to share my Craft Room Pegboard with you--and it turns out y'all loved it too! So today I'm going to share the tutorial with you, although I have to say it's not very difficult! But I know it's sometimes just easier to have someone spell it out for you, so here are all the nitty gritty details. I also apologize that there are not pictures of every step--I was so excited I just worked and forgot to take pics! For this … [Read more...]
I'm so excited to share this project with you! I was a little relieved to have the holidays overwith so I could start working on projects I've put off since August. One project that was a necessity to complete first was this extra large pegboard I made for my craft room organization. This is a picture post only but if you want the full tutorial, read the Framed Pegboard Tutorial post. I don't have a dedicated room for my craft stuff … [Read more...]
2012 has been a very, VERY weird year. Some things were great and some things you couldn't pay me a trillion dollars to go through again. I'm actually glad to see it go because I feel like it was mostly a very difficult year. I have realistic expectations for 2013--I will accomplish some goals, I will fail at others. Some things will be really good, most things will end up mediocre. And unfortunately, some things will be sad. But one … [Read more...]
I've always loved the idea of sweater pillows. I went to DI (a Utah thrift store) and bought a bunch of sweaters and shirts for my Christmas projects this year. I wanted to bring in some cozy and soft fabrics that are a little more 'natural' looking. I love glimmer and glitz and you definitely will be seeing that in my decor but I also love natural and rustic. And yes, my Christmas tree is already up. It's been up two weeks … [Read more...]
So I have been painting and distressed a lot of stuff lately. And I'm bound to learn some stuff right? So I'll share. I bought these awesome cheap bi-fold doors at the Restore. Two were white and one was unfinished wood. I distressed them all, but the two white ones I did a little differently than the unfinished wood one, and I'll describe that process later on. For the unfinished wood one, I knew that I would have to paint it … [Read more...]
The countdown is on: moving in three weeks! To a bigger place where my baby girl can have her very own room. And I can finally put up all the decorations I've made for her! Here's one more... Simple and cute. My kids love anything ABC related (which inspired this alphabet onesie.) Guess what I made this little decoration from? What's that you say? You couldn't tell it was an "As Is" IKEA cupboard door that cost me $5? I've … [Read more...]
I am so excited to be a part of the Martha Stewart Mother’s Day campaign sponsored by Plaid Crafts! Mother's Day is always a special holiday to me because I'm so thankful for my Mother! But now I am also thankful for my sweet Mother-in-Law and that I get to BE a mother to three of the greatest kids ever. I got so much amazing stuff for this campaign that it took awhile to figure out what to make for my Mom. But I decided on a simple … [Read more...]
