About a year ago, I found a water bottle at Walmart that spoke to me on a deep, emotional level. it had a paisley floral pattern in hues of blue and green, and in a pink box outlined in gold, it read simply “Not My Problem.” And for only $5, I couldn’t pass up the… Continue reading Personalized Tumblers
It’s that time of year again! Time for the final installment of my paper banner. When I think of summer, I think of flip flops and deliciously cool popsicles (my favorite flavor is orange). So I decided that’s what I’d make! I sketched out the shapes for the flip flops and the popsicles on scrapbook… Continue reading Summer Paper Banner
Much like I am in real life, I am consistently late on these blog posts. But, hey, at least I’m consistent? Anyway, with summer coming up quickly and with it, open-window season, I wanted to make something for the lovely birds in my yard. Well, more for the cats, but the birds get a free… Continue reading Teacup Bird Feeder
It’s finally spring time here in the Midwest! Well, more like summer lately with the heat, but no seasons can ever be clear-cut here. I’m not particularly known for having a green thumb and my fiance has a determinedly black thumb, but I wanted some greenery around the house. And of course I wanted it… Continue reading Strawberry Succulents
Today’s craft is something that I have never done and would not have attempted to do without assistance. My fiance, Matt, has been weaving since college. He once turned his dorm bed into a giant loom just for the sake of seeing if he could do it. (He did. He made a massive scarf.) Matt… Continue reading Woven Wall Decor
It has been a week! I know I’m late with this post, and for that I apologize. My brother-in-law made an impromptu appearance, so we wanted to maximize our time with him. This craft wasn’t what I was originally planning to make, but Michael’s didn’t have the items I needed in stock, so I switched… Continue reading Gilded Cat Trinket Dish
I recently started branching out in terms of the mediums I cross stitched on. For Christmas, I made a key chain for a good friend of mine. I used plastic canvas for the first time. I ended up having to make the dang thing over again because I cut the plastic too close and the… Continue reading Cross Stitch Key Chains
I’ve done a couple of bullet journal posts before, and if you follow me on Instagram, you’ll see a lot of bullet journaling posts. I’ve been using a bullet journal consistently for about two years. I’m not really a neatly organized person. I live and thrive in organized chaos. That made it tough to find… Continue reading Bullet Journal: Lessons Learned
This is apparently part of an ongoing series! Check out the fall banner that started it all and the winter banner that I followed it up with! It’s been a little over a year since I last did a season. I’ve been getting teased at work for only having something up for half the year. … Continue reading Spring Paper Banner
I’ve been bullet journaling for a while now and following various Instagram accounts where they make these beautiful spreads that are just so artistic. That lead me to art journaling, which eventually lead me to mixed media. I’ve done mixed media pieces before, but I didn’t necessarily call them “mixed media” pieces. I’ve been watching… Continue reading Mixed Media Mini Canvases
