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...]
A few months ago I showed you my Craft Room Pegboard. I'm getting ready to share the entire Craft Room Space but today I'd like to show you 25 inspiring and organized craft rooms. I have so much stuff to organize that I'm always looking for new and attractive ways to arrange my stuff and keep it organized. It's so much easier to be creative when everything is in the right place and you don't have to spend forever looking for what you need, … [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 have an Easter and Spring Projects Link Party going on and here are some of my favorite Easter Crafts from the party! To see the rest, go visit the party and link up something of your own! {Heads up--Next week I will be doing features for the theme of Spring!} I have to confess that Easter is probably my Achilles heel of holiday decorating. This time of year always seems to just make me tired and I'm like 'meh' with decorating for … [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...]
I had this idea which involved a jigsaw: a Plywood St Patrick's Day Wreath. Awesome right? I have to say, this is possibly one of my most favorite projects to date. I'm just so gosh darn impressed with myself! I tried something new, and it turned out great. And I'm sad that I have to take this down in a few weeks because I feel like the ratio of loving this=time it can be up for all to see and appreciate is not equal. (But don't … [Read more...]
