A chic black & white pumpkin with a crown (plus 11 more spooktacular Halloween projects!)

September 15, 2014 8 Comments

OK, so if Jack Skellington is the Pumpkin King, I wondered what the Pumpkin Queen might look like….  So I decided to make a pumpkin with a crown on it. My BFF  loves Halloween as much as I do, so I thought I’d make a pumpkin for her.  With a crown.  Because who wouldn’t want […]

Make temporary pedestal plates.

September 11, 2014 29 Comments

I’ve mentioned many times that I love, love, love Museum Putty, and that it keeps my knick-knacks in place and makes sure they don’t crack me on the head during earthquakes. It’s also handy to make temporary pedestal plates. Why make a temporary pedestal plate?  Well, they can be expensive to buy, difficult to store […]

An easy summer centerpiece using a chandelier and fresh flowers.

July 30, 2014 2 Comments

My neighbor gave me a blingy chandelier several months back.  I didn’t have any place to put it, so it just kind of got stuck in a corner.  Then I needed an easy and inexpensive centerpiece and I immediately knew the chandy would be a great focal point.  Here’s how I took a chandelier and flowers […]

March 27, 2014 1 Comment

Do you read Mod Podge Rocks?  My friend, Amy Anderson is the brains behind that blog (and DIY Candy, and Washi Tape Crafts) and she is such a genius that she has her own line of stencils on the market. I was really excited to give the Mod Podge Rocks stencils a try and make […]

Why I felt a blue chicken was necessary.

February 21, 2014 1 Comment

So a few days ago I shared a makeover I did on a little plant stand.  I put a little wooden chicken in with the flowers, but he wasn’t really showing up against the color of the house… so I thought he should be blue. See?  Now he shows up against the house.  He was […]

Spring planter makeover (& how it looked like Shrek until I added a chicken.)

February 19, 2014 2 Comments

I know that 2/3 of the country is being ravaged by winter weather, but here in So Cal it has been really mild.  So much so that it was time to do a spring planter to put by our front door. A few months back I spotted this guy, just sitting on the curb.  He […]

A spring birdcage planter.

On Monday I shared that I would be appearing at my local Michaels store this coming Sunday (just like 99 other Hometalk bloggers across the country) and making fun projects at a Pinterest Party.  I am going to be making another project on Sunday, but I wanted to share a fun little project I whipped […]

A felted heart garland for Valentine’s Day.

February 11, 2014 Leave a Comment

Sometimes I love it when people use non-traditional colors for holidays.  Rather than go for the expected red and pink, Steph from The Silly Pearl made a really cool felted heart garland in cream and gold for a fun twist on Valentine’s Day decor. I have never done any felted projects before, but after seeing […]

Kid Valentine’s Week: Easy “makes cents” Valentine idea.

February 4, 2014 1 Comment

I love the idea of taking something for one holiday and making it work for a totally different one.   Natalie from a Turtle’s Life For Me spotted chocolate coins on clearance in January.  Look at the cute Valentine idea she came up with. I think this is such a clever idea!  Visit A Turtle’s […]
