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...]
Remember that Craft Room Pegboard I made? I didn't use the entire thing and so I had a cute idea on how to use some of the rest...a kids workbench! I think this turned out so cute. I was going for a Pottery Barn Kids effect rather than the primary-colors-and-plastic variety. And it was actually really easy. I completed this in an afternoon! This kids workbench is built on one of those old ugly end tables that probably everyone … [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...]
If you are new to this blog, I'll just say it: my husband is a dentist. Therefore oral hygiene is very important in our house! We got the chance to review those new musical toothbrushes by Arm & Hammer--Tooth Tunes! Yay! The toothbrush we got was the "One Thing" song by the band One Direction (but I'm not gonna lie, I was super bummed we didn't get the "What Makes You Beautiful" one!) So basically it's a toothbrush with a button … [Read more...]

Have I got your attention yet? And of course rainbow is just so St. Patrick's Day. This would be a really fun St. Pat's day activity--make some rainbow fruit pizza cookies with your kids and let them decorate! I made these with my 4-year-old. And then I felt like a … [Read more...]
It's February--the month of LOVE. I have a super easy and fun project for you--something that makes a great gift idea or just decor around the house. It's Sharpie Art--specifically 'Doodle' Love Art! All you need is a ceramic dish and some Sharpies. Seriously, that's it. And channel your 8 year old self and doodle like you're writing a note to your friend! (Remember writing notes and folding them in those cool ways?) Here's an … [Read more...]

It's Amy from Amy's Craft Bucket again--hello! Many of you may find yourselves snuggling around a crackling fireplace gently nursing a warm cup of hot chocolate. Maybe your drapes are drawn open and you can see gentle white snowflakes undulating through the air until the finally join the thick blanket of snow that makes up the landscape of your winter wonderland. That would not be the case for me. Until last week, we were still … [Read more...]
