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…
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…
Sugar Scrubs

Upcycling Toddler Shorts Into A Toddler Purse
Ever have a strong desire to make a small purse out of children’s booty shorts?? Just me? Ok then. We got these shorts in one of our ebay “lots” of clothing – size 24 months. Most of the clothes were for the fall/winter season, because that’s when she turns 2,…
Gluten Free Zuppa Toscana
Before I got diagnosed with Celiac Disease one of my favorite restaurants was the Olive Garden; I especially loved their “Zuppa Toscana” {Tuscan Soup}. While Olive Garden does now offer some gluten free options, this soup is sadly not one of them. I think we’ve figured out a pretty good…
