In crafting there are no mistakes, just unique creations. — Sizzix

You’ll find all sorts of DIY craft ideas for adults and kids – everything from colored wooden bead garlands to upcycling pre-loved furniture and amazing homecoming mums, I’ll share step by step tutorials so you can see what worked for me – and what didn’t – and don’t be shy to share your results!
I can't stand a naked door! Porch appeal is something I am passionate about, and the basics begin with a door wreath. Door wreaths are welcoming but they can cost a small fortune. Have no fear, my boujie on a budget idea will speak to your wallet. After you see how...
Have you ever had a piece of furniture that was really well-made but maybe is not your current style? Or maybe you have a sentimental attachment to it, but it just doesn’t fit in your rooms anymore? That was my situation with this antique desk. It was actually my...
This simple, super cute boxwood Easter bunny with gingham ears is perfect for Easter and is as about as easy a project as you can get! It comes together in minutes! Feel free to substitute whatever colors, fabrics, or ribbons, to match your decor. This was inspired by...
If Texas's wild weather in February had any upside for me at all, it was that I had lots of time to binge-watch all the crafting videos. I'm a junkie for all the how-to's for dollar store craft supplies, but it's painful that there's no dollar store near me! But I do...
“Hey, what are we making this year for our Christmas presents?” Each year, me and my bestie in Ohio, virtually make similar gifts to give to all our friends and family. “Mosaic tile ornaments,” because Molly’s always up on the trends. “Um, say what?” Me, not on Tik...
Bitten by the travel wees bug, I decided to make my own for our next Craft Exchange. Here are pics and a description of the process.
I’m a total Van Gogh! Let me count how many painting classes I’ve taken. I have reindeer, unicorns, homemade signs... Most have found their way into my attic as their permanent home (because I’m really no Van Gogh), and that’s OKAY because the fun is in the process...
I recently hosted a virtual scavenger hunt, and one of the items I had on their list to find was a July 4th wreath. My client was reviewing the list before the event and focused in on it, “Really, that’s a thing? Who even has that?!” “Um… I do?” I replied, cautiously...
(I received product to review for this post. All opinions are my own.) Let’s talk couture for a minute - Chalk Couture! How long has it been since you got really excited about new craft products? Maybe today long because have you seen Chalk Couture and its innovative...
Decorating eggs is a mess. Easter eggs and stained hands go hand in hand, right? Whether you’re dyeing real eggs with food coloring or you are decorating fake eggs with decoupage or paint, or my favorite, alcohol inks. Is there a Mess-free Easter Egg hack? Is there a...
My girl likes to give homemade, crafty Valentines each year. This year, she announced that after she retires from the US Women’s National Team (soccer), she will be a geologist, so *of course* she wants to give geodes for Valentine’s Day. I’m like, “GEODES?...
Bead garland. Farmhouse beads. Wood bead garland. Not sure what you call them at your house, but I’m digging them at mine. I’ve been stalking the hashtags on Insta to see how all these cute design gals are styling their wooden bead strings and I can’t get enough. I’m...
Y’alllllll dollar store crafts are THE best. I love a good DIY that you can put together as a great knockoff from a major retailer for a fraction of the cost. So let me just put this out there – this was NOT my idea. I have this thing called Craft Exchange that I...
Don’t give in to store-bought Valentine’s Day cards for your kids to give to their classmates this year! Instead, spend some one-on-one time with your children making fun, creative and unique cards while at the same time imparting the importance of “giving”. The...
