If you’ve been following along with me over the past week, you know I’ve been on a coral kick. And dough. A dough/coral kick. I made white coral, red coral, I even made starfish. Out of dough. But long before I busted out the dough, I busted out the acrylic paint. This seaweed is […]
Coastal Craft: easy DIY starfish made from salt dough.
A few weeks ago, Craftberry Bush did a tutorial on how she made a cute garland out of clay starfish. Super cute. The other day when I was making my faux coral out of dough, I remembered her tutorial and used up some extra dough to make a couple of starfish. Lucy left her “sea […]
Make your own Pottery Barn style Shell Candles
Pottery Barn has some adorable shell candles. I want them. I don’t want to spend any money. So…. I love PB’s shell candles. image credit: Pottery Barn However, even at the relatively reasonable price of $15, I still saw no need to spend that much… In a previous post, I explained how I can use […]

Trash to Treasure: quick fix silver tray
Whenever I’m at Goodwill or out thrifting, I keep an eye out for silver trays or bowls. I don’t know why Goodwill will price an orphan white dinner plate at $2 but will sell something like this little silver plated tray for .99 cents. Go figure.At any rate, this strange pricing policy makes it easy […]
Where are they now? Catching up with the leftovers from other projects…
Remember my Franken Craft from a bunch of junk? I took the lid from this wacky pot/dish and made it into the pedestal bowl. I never did show you what happened to the “other half” of the bowl… I spray painted the bowl with the ever popular Heirloom White from Rustoleum, popped in a few […]
The one where I ruin a dress, a pair of shoes, and almost do something horrible to a wooden chicken.
A few weeks ago I was in the One Month To Win It crafting contest. There were only 3 of us left in the final round. The challenge? Re-purpose an article of clothing or an accessory. Oh Crap. I had all sorts of wacky ideas for the challenge. Unfortunately all of my ideas were outside […]

Taming counter-top clutter with canisters.
For months, every day I would wake up and say to myself: “Today’s the day! Today’s the day I am going to clean up the black hole of crap that is next to my computer!” Every night I would go to bed and think, “…tomorrow… I’ll do it tomorrow…” The problem is that it isn’t […]
Pink cabbage is just plain wrong.
So the other day I was in my local Goodwill (Yes…. The one that sells rocks…) and I came across this. It clearly had a lid at some point in its life, but the lid was missing and there was a chip on the top of it.Oh. And it was pink. Who has ever heard […]
