Pottery Barn inspired Bone Hand Skeleton Vase.

October 23, 2013 8 Comments

A few weeks ago I was in Pottery Barn, admiring their Halloween decor and decided that I could make something similar at home.  I particularly liked this Bone Hand Vase, but did not want to pay $100 for it… so I decided to try and make my own version for a lot less. Here’s my […]

October 4, 2013 1 Comment

I am a pretty creative person, and I am of the opinion that everyone has at least a little bit of creativity in them, but it often surprises me how many people will argue vehemently that they are NOT creative.  Nope.  Can’t do it.  My mind just doesn’t work that way, etc…  I think sometimes […]
