I found a new hobby! Okay, that’s not really a new thing, because I collect hobbies in my spare time. I love learning new things and creating things relaxes me, which results in me wanting to learn new craft hobbies for my rejuvenation time. Creative time is a kind of therapy for me – I […]

STAR WARS Stormtrooper Popcorn Box {FREE PRINTABLE}
One night recently, I thought I was being so clever putting my 3-year-old to bed. My husband was out of town on business, I was really tired, and I just wanted him to stay in bed! I asked him what he wanted to be for Halloween and he listened attentively as I listed possibilities. When I […]
Tutorial: Easy Pillow Covers
Pretty tablecloths are an indulgence of mine. When I saw this tablecloth at Target, I knew just what I wanted to do: turn this tablecloth into Christmas Pillow Covers. Tablecloths are a very affordable way to get a whole bunch of festive fabric! And I knew just who I wanted to do it with – […]
Easy Statement Art: Framed Fabric
Another title for this blog post might be IKEA frame + leftover fabric = Super Cheap and Easy Statement Art. The idea and plans for the new art above my fireplace mantel have been swirling in my head for a long time, and this weekend I finally made it happen. It was actually really easy. This is […]
The Year-Round Wreath
I like to keep something festive on my door, but there are times when I’m not looking to celebrate something specific and just want something pretty.

Piano Book Wall Organizer
My husband and I have an agreement that I squint when I look at his desk area. He keeps it orderly most of the time, but not all the time. It isn’t all his fault, though, because the kids pile their stuff on his desk all the time. After a bit of time paying attention to […]
Patriotic Door Hanging – From Materials I Already Had
I wanted to jazz up my front door with something patriotic and fun. Yep, I just used the term “jazzed up”. It is getting wild here. Once again, I only had a few hours while baby napped, so I got creative with materials I already had. A general idea had been floating around in my […]
Easy Silhouettes
A few years ago, I made silhouettes of my three girls. It was a little bittersweet for me. I had always wanted to make silhouettes of them, but was waiting for our family to be complete. After we had decided to stop all fertility treatments, I went full steam ahead on this project. Little did […]
Update Boring Frames To Create A More Exciting Collage Wall
I have this terrible habit of waiting a long time to show you my projects! I finished my collage wall last summer!! The finished wall is probably my favorite wall in the entire house. It was a labor of love and I planned it for so long while I was pregnant, sitting in the recliner […]
