It is hard to believe that I’ve been blogging for almost 5 years. When I started on this adventure it was just an outlet for the crafts I was already doing. Eventually it became a hobby, and then a part-time job. Looking back through the hundreds of projects I’ve shared over the years still makesRead more
I know, I know. There are other things going on in the world than Christmas. For example, my birthday is this month. My friend is leaving work for new adventures. My neighborhood is selecting a new Association President. But, c’mon guys its Christmas! You can’t blame me for wanting to spruce up my life (and yours!) withRead more
It is snowing! True to form, Michigan’s weather is out of control. Yesterday was 70° and today it is snowing. Like, stick to the ground snowing. Therefore, while I know it isn’t even Thanksgiving yet (need any last minute inspiration? How about some Elegant Thanksgiving Decor?) I’m in the mood for Christmas. Who wouldn’t be, browsingRead more
Sometimes, I neglect the orange and brown, warm fall colors in decor.

I like to make things about coffee. I made a pretty sharpie mug for my mom earlier this year, and I’ve been learning how to make cold brew coffee, I even made this coffee exfoliating scrub. So when I saw these adorable coffee watercolor illustrations I had to make something lovely with them. I don’t do aRead more
Thank you to Loew-Cornell for sponsoring this post One of my favorite things about living in a city (as opposed to the rural country where I grew up) is being able to pass out Halloween candy. It has become one of my favorite parts of Halloween, and I love to see all the little totsRead more
I’ve talked before about projects that are all over Pinterest and other social channels. They are the type of thing that I tuck away into my mental file and hope to make for myself one day. They seem almost silly to share as a tutorial, since anyone can Google their way to the same result.Read more
I know, you might be thinking it’s too early for Halloween stuff. But really, Halloween is one of my favorite holidays, and I’ve been waiting since last Halloween to begin writing about it again. So for me, it’s actually a bit late and I’ve held out as long as I can! For the last few yearsRead more
