This has to be one of the most drawn out projects I’ve ever worked on! All the way back in February, {yes February!}, I posted some pictures of my kitchen wall as well as a bunch of Photoshopped art ideas and asked you guys to help me decide what to do by voting on your…
Simple Throw Pillow Slipcover
I’ve been on the hunt for some cute, but cheap throw pillows for our couch for quite some time – why are they so hard to find!? Finally I decided I should just find cheap pillows in the size I wanted and then cover them with a fabric I like… I found these on a…
Vintage Coca-Cola Crate Spice Rack
To be perfectly honest, when I bought this vintage Coke crate a couple weeks ago, I had no idea what I was going to do with it… maybe organizing paints… maybe displaying it somewhere… but it was just way to lovely to pass up! Then last Friday as I was baking something, and…
Book Page Canvases and Sole Hope
I posted a while back about being excited to get started on my kitchen wall art and showed a little preview of some of the supplies I got: After pondering how I wanted to give “texture” to the background of my canvases, I ended up deciding to cover them with book pages! Sorry Uncle Tom’s…
How to Lengthen a Shirt that’s too Short
After I gave birth last year, I found myself no longer fitting in my maternity clothes, but also not back to my pre-pregnancy size. Soo in a desperate search for clothes that fit & were cheap I ordered some online. This is not something I normally do, but I found a handful of shirts from a store that…
DIY Valentine’s Name Hearts
I’m not usually big on decorating for the Holidays {except Christmas}, but this year so far I really seem to be getting into it! Maybe it’s just having a little person around that makes it more fun. Anyways, whilst rummaging through all the Valentine’s stuff on Pinterest I came across this : {The Peanut Paintshop}…
New Camera & some Heart Garland
Tuesday Night we celebrated Wes’s birthday with our family. One of the gifts he received was a fancy new camera that he was kind enough to let me “play” with today. 🙂 I spent the morning reading up on the different settings & messing around and then I wanted something “official” to photograph. So I headed on…
Picture Wall Progress: Laying It All Out
At the end of December I posted about finding & spray painting my 25 frames for the picture wall I wanted to create. Now I’m about half way through hanging my pictures & thought I’d share some of my progress 🙂 To arrange my pictures I traced each one onto newspaper and then labeled each corresponding…
Twisted Flower Bracelet
Whilst searching for gift ideas, I came across a gorgeous Rosette Bracelet Tutorial by Heidi at sew.craft.create. I instantly fell in love! I had already used the “rosette” flower technique a couple of times before on some other projects so I thought this would be super easy. When it came time to create my version, I…
Pom Necklaces
These necklaces were created as gifts for my cousins. I found a tutorial for them on the stay-at-home artist blog: it was a guest post by Rachel Obrien. The weren’t quite as easy as I though {NOT hard, I just suck at using the hot glue gun :P}, but very simple. I love how they…
