Decorating for the season and for holidays is one of my favorite past times. Not only do I enjoy decorating my home, I also like to decorate my porch. Felt hearts purchased from the dollar store inspired me to make two Valentine’s Day Pillows to use on my enclosed porch. Usually I use drop cloths…
A few months ago I stumbled across a flatware box at Goodwill and couldn’t resist buying it for just $2. I had admired flatware boxes that my friends Christy from Confessions of a Serial-Do-It-Yourselfer and Nancy from Artsy Chicks Rules had made over and I was eager to see what I could do with…
My niece recently had a birthday and I wanted to make something special for her. She’s a dancer, so I thought she might like something she can hang in her room that expresses what she likes to do most in the world: dance. The DIY Rope Art I made for her can be customized for…
Ooh, burr baby! Is it cold where you live? It should be here but it’s not. Just looking at the mitten art that I created with vintage buttons has me looking forward to crisp air, thick sweaters, and snuggling under a blanket by a fire with a warm beverage in my hand. I’m sure…
Who Doesn’t like getting Christmas ideas? I know that I do! This week I’ve teamed up with some blogging friends to share great ideas for Christmas. Today is wreath day. If you are a regular to my blog then you know that I love to make wreaths. I come by it honestly as I can’t…
‘Tis the season to decorate the tree. Even though I’ve been collecting ornaments most of my life and have more than can fit on one tree, I love to craft new ones. We haven’t started decorating for Christmas, but when we do, an addition to this year’s tree will be a popsicle stick ski ornament…
It’s never too early to start thinking about Christmas! Today I’m sharing an ornament that I crafted inspired by this one from Country Living Magazine. I’m joining with 30 other bloggers to bring you 31 ornament ideas during the month of October. My button and felt snowman ornament was crafted using vintage buttons inherited from my…
A few weeks ago my friend Christy from Confessions of a Serial Do It Yourselfer shared a Jewelry Holder and Chalkboard that she made using a thrifted framed print. Christy’s post inspired me to search my attic for framed prints that I no longer use that could be turned into chalkboards. The first picture that…
One of fall’s pleasures is cozy time spent with a beverage, either by the fire, on the porch, or on the sofa. Now that it’s officially fall, I’ve begun to decorate and craft for the season. DIY Wood Slice Coasters add a decorative accent to our family room coffee table and end tables and…
Today is the first day of fall! I’ve been slowly adding touches of fall to my home and recently made two fall wreaths, one for each of of the main doors that we use. I made this wreath for our front door. I’m sharing my wreath as part of a fall ideas tour. Today…
I’m excited to share my first fall project of the season with you, how to make fall ornaments from clay. Did it feel like fall over the weekend where you live? It did here in Virginia. Yesterday the skies were clear, the sun was warm, and the air was chilly. It was the perfect day to…
Home is Where the Heart Is…Is this true as much for you as it is for me? When I saw this wall quote stencil from Cutting Edge Stencils, I knew that I wanted to use it for a project. This stencil is intended for use as a wall quote but right now I don’t have…
