I don't know about you, but sometimes I find that Easter decorations can come across really cheesy. Don't get me wrong - I love cheesy!! Seriously, have you see my punny Easter eggs?! I just prefer more modern Easter decor in our home (same goes for all holidays, really). Typically, I don't decorate a lot for Easter. We spend the holiday with my parents, and my mom always makes it a fun o[...]
I know it's been a few weeks since my last post, but it's for good reason - I have been BUSY! Most recently, I partnered with my long-time client Belgian Boys to make a bright and elegant spring tea party, complete with three easy treats to make with Belgian Boys cheesecakes, mini pancakes and mini cakes. No spring tea party would be complete without tulips, so I filled the table with flo[...]
The following post is sponsored by Cricut Yup, I'm THAT person. Today I'm celebrating Milo's first birthday! I've partnered with my friends at Cricut to share three easy DIYs to make for celebrating a dog or cat birthday. After all, they're our best friends and our family. I tend to enjoy the cheesy things in life (food and otherwise, ha!) so this was a fun project to make for my littl[...]
If you told me a year ago I'd be making COVID valentines, I certainly would not believe you. Yet, here I am almost a year into this pandemic "quarantine" making printable soap valentines for COVID (after all, might make these crafts useful). Now, I don't want you to think I'm making light of such a dire situation - I'm just here to attempt to bring a little cheer to Valentine's Day when s[...]
The following post is sponsored by Cricut I'm sure we're all missing our old lives these days (I know I am) and missing our friends, so as we head toward Valentine's Day, why not send them a little DIY gift basket to let them know you care? One thing I've learned as a DIYer is that you don't have to spend a lot of money to give a thoughtful gift. Cricut makes it easy to personalize ite[...]
Anyone else still not over Christmas? Taking down the decorations was extra hard this year, but I'm moving onto the next major holiday - Valentine's Day! I don't normally do much decorating for Valentine's Day, but since I've taking a break from weaving the last couple months to focus on the house, it was nice to get back to it. After some experimenting, I came up with this cute, simple h[...]
Helllllo 2021! Like all of you, I'm hoping this year will be a million time better than the last. That's setting the bar pretty low...and we're NOT off to a good start. Now that we've made it through the holidays, I'm hoping to get back to focusing on the house. I've been purchasing decor pieces here and there to keep things affordable, and yes, there are DIYs in the works. You can follow[...]
Oh, hi! I can finally share that I am a MARRIED LADY! That's right - on Dec 31, 2020, Andrew and I had a last-minute micro backyard wedding to close out the awful year on a high note. After postponing (more like cancelling) our wedding twice in 2020, we agreed to get married before the year ended. We've been together for almost eight years, and after my grandma recently passed away, I ask[...]
I'm just about ready to sign off for the rest of the YEAR - always weird to say - but I wanted to share one last DIY before I wish you all a happy end to this awful year. It has been forever (yes, literally, I do mean it feels like forever) since I shared a cake decorating idea, and this one seemed perfect for the season...a knit beanie cake! Does everyone call them beanies? Some might ju[...]
The following post is sponsored by RubberStamps.com This month is already flying by, and I had yet to make our stockings this year! As such an avid DIYer, I've made us new Christmas stockings almost every year. This year, I partnered with RubberStamps.com to make these easy stamped stockings personalized with tags for the holidays! Who says stamps are only for paper?! Using fabric pai[...]
