Sunday Rewind: A Dollar Store craft project – Flying Piggy Bank

February 2, 2014 Leave a Comment

So this time last year, we were sitting in hospital waiting rooms and blogging was the last thing on my mind.  Fortunately, I had a lot of friends who stepped up and guest posted for me.  One of my favorites?  This fun “when pigs fly” themed piggy bank from Jessica at Mad In Crafts.   […]

Sweet Valentine’s Wreath from Flamingo Toes.

January 31, 2014 Leave a Comment

My friend Bev, who is the smarty pants, creative genius behind Flamingo Toes is always whipping up sweet and whimsical projects.  It’s like she just wakes up each morning and says, “I think I’ll make something adorable while I wait for the water in the tea kettle to boil.”  I don’t know where she finds […]

Adorable DIY Throw Pillows for Valentine’s Day.

Easy DIY throw pillows

I can sew.  I just usually choose not to.  However, these adorable DIY throw pillows look so fun and easy, it might be enought to get me to break out the sewing machine.  I love that they can be made up for Valentine’s Day, and I also love that they could easily be whipped up […]

A Seattle Seahawks chair make over with NFL Duck Tape.

January 27, 2014 6 Comments

My son Conner is a huge Seattle Seahawks fan. My son Grant is going through a phase where he is peeling things.  Stickers and labels… paint on the wall… plastic laminate on a toilet seat… I don’t know what has gotten into him, but I think  we broke him of the habit.  (And Conner got […]

Cute fabric ruffle Valentine’s wreath.

January 17, 2014 Leave a Comment

Valentine’s Day tends to be one of those holidays that by the time I think about decorating for it, it’s already upon me and I end up doing little or nothing for it.  (There are also some years where I am still cleaning up Christmas in mid-January and to be honest, I’m out of steam.) […]

10 handmade Valentine Ideas for boys.

January 16, 2014 1 Comment

As the mother of boys, I have always had a bit  of a challenge when it came to finding pre-made Valentine’s Day cards for them to hand out to their classmates during class parties.  There isn’t a huge selection, and when you know every other boy in the class is giving out the Hot Wheels […]

Pottery Barn inspired LOVE wall art. (A knock-off project)

January 15, 2014 Leave a Comment

I love me some Pottery Barn.  However, I don’t love the high prices on some of their items…  Especially on some of the items that I might be able to make myself.  Trish and Bonnie from Uncommon Designs saw a really cute “love” wall art in Pottery Barn’s catalog and decided to make one of […]

Feather Valentine’s Wreath.

January 14, 2014 Leave a Comment

Having  just packed up my Christmas decor, I usually am not too excited to start dragging out more decor for Valentine’s Day.  I usually like a bit of a “breather” before injecting more seasonal decor into my home, but this simple wreath from Bombshell Bling (formerly Craft Quickeies) is perfect.   I love that this […]

A cute and rustic branch photo holder.

January 10, 2014 Leave a Comment

I love framed photos, and as many as I have it seems like I have just as many loose photographs floating around the house.  That’s why I am in love with this fun photo holder from homework.  How clever to make a branch photo holder? I think it is so stinkin’ cute that Carolyn (the […]
