It’s trendy, it’s cheap (often free), and adds instant character to your living space. Yep, I’m talking about reclaimed wood. Whether it’s old doors, flooring, fencing, or what have you, reclaimed wood decor is all the rage. I’ll share some of my favorite ways to use reclaimed wood in home decor later this week, but …
Hello, Friends! Like most of you, I just love when I can make something cute for my home out of things that I already have on hand. Last Spring, I taught you all how to take a glass jar and turn it into a lamp, and, a few weeks ago, I decided that I wanted …
A while back, I shared this clay tag tutorial…without having the slightest idea just how many times I’d make these for various occasions. Most recently, I created a set to adorn a trio of baskets in my foyer… A couple of notes: Instead of using Model Magic, as I did in the tutorial, I used …

If you don’t already know, I’m a big fan of The Twinery’s fabulous twine… I’ve created clay gift tags, a Fall garland, business cards, and have gift wrapped with the stuff. Over the summer, me and another gal hosted a bridal shower for my sister-in-law. We had lots of fun decor, and I used twine from …

I can think of so many uses for them…cupcakes (duh), containers for sprinkles and candies for the next time you decorate cookies with the kiddies, paper cup wreaths, paper cup garland….the list can …
As a former kindergarten teacher, there are certain things that I just assume everyone knows how to do….dyeing pasta is one of those things. I’ve lately realized, though, that (duh) not everyone may have the noodle-coloring know-how, and I’m here to shed some light on this fun and easy craft DIY… I know, I know…this post is …
Goodness, friends! Judging from the comments on my twine giveaway/fall garland post, you guys sure do love your Twinery twine! You have a couple more days to enter before I draw a winner… I had a couple of adjectives in mind as I put my Fall mantle together….one was “simple”, another was “neutral”, and the third …
Happy Monday! Anyone else so thankful that Fall (or at least Fall weather) has arrived? Autumn-scented candles, open windows, and crisp air made for a perfect weekend for me. A few weeks ago, I shared a tutorial on The Twinery’s blog on how to create clay gift tags. I’m sharing a new take on …
Come visit me over at Everything Etsy today, where I share a tutorial on making a cheery and colorful burlap wreath! Have a wonderful and (if you are anywhere in the path of Irene) safe weekend!!
Confession Time. I really like embroidery hoop art. The proof is here on my hoop art Pinterest board. I loved the simplicity of it, and wanted to create something similiar for my kitchen. My two requirements? I wanted it to be blue, and I wanted to have an ombre effect instead of being a single color. This was so simple to …
