I shared this last month at Positively Splendid as part of the Swell Noel series. Christmas is my favorite holiday and I love that it seems to be a celebration of every single day in December. I am never finished baking, wrapping presents or decorating the house… and I like it like that! I love a cheerful holiday mess. My […]
I planted tomatoes but got Christmas trees instead. (DIY lighted trees.)
I shared this tutorial over at Tatertots & Jello last year and thought I would dust it off and post it over here, in case you missed it, or in case you have a memory like mine (which is non-existent these days…) We had several old tomato cages laying around in our side yard. (Me? Creative? […]
Make a sparkly epsom salt snowman.
Today let’s make an easy DIY snowman using a little glitter, epsom salt and some round spheres from STYROFOAM TM Brand Foam. I love, love, love Under The Table and Dreaming and am in awe of Stephanie Lynn’s projects. So when I was invited to make a project for her STYROFOAM TM Brand Foam series, I did a little happy dance. I’ve used […]
Why I change my Christmas colors each year. (And what I’ve done for the past five…)
I love decorating for Christmas! The season is so special to me that I want to decorate everything! I obsessively and impulsively buy Christmas ornaments through out the year. (I might have a little Christmas Ornament Problem… I’m trying to get help) It’s a sickness. I can’t help it. But would it make a difference […]
Thanksgiving tablescape. A rained out Thanksgiving: going to Plan B (with minimal freaking out.)
My dining room is too small to fit the 15 to 20 people that come over for Thanksgiving dinner, so I always host it outside on our patio. Living in Southern California, it’s usually safe to do this. However, this year there were cold temperatures (62 degrees. brrr!) and a threat of rain. (Yes, yes, […]
Pairing rustic and glam elements together: Everything looks better if you put it in a champagne bucket.
I love to play rustic items against the sparkle of silver and glass. Makes me happy and the two really play off of each other that way. I put together this little grouping of sparkly glass and silver on the buffet in our dining room. I especially love, love, love the rusticity of the sticks […]
A winter floral tip: make your own frosted, icy branches at home.
To buy decorative frosty or icy branches in the store can be very expensive. They’re actually quite easy to make on your own using epsom salt, glitter and glue. Check out this easy tutorial.
Thanksgiving Artwork – Craft Fans & Grant Fans… unite!
I’ve got something for both groups of readers today! I just finished another piece of artwork for Thanksgiving. (I actually used the flip-side of the Raven artwork, so it’s 2 holiday art pieces in 1! I is smaaaaht!) I’m happy with how it turned out. While I was cutting out the contact paper letters**, Mitch […]
“Loco” is Spanish for “creative” right…?
I have less than a week to come up with a fabulous Thanksgiving tablescape and decor. I just reposted what I did last year, hoping to inspire someone out there in blogland, but also hoping to inspire myself. Just yesterday I was telling my friend Betsy that I needed Creative Defibrillator paddles to shock me into […]
The Last Pumpkin of the Year. (Make a frosty pumpkin for your winter decor.)
I refuse to decorate for Christmas prior to December 1st and I usually have a small fortune invested in real pumpkins each fall season (so I don’t want to just toss them…yet.) Here’s an easy way to take your fall pumpkins into winter. Create frosty winter pumpkins while you wait for December.
