A Furry Project
A while ago, I was scanning the remnant section at my local Hancock Fabrics and found something lovely: Rabbit fur!!! (rabbit not included) Everything in the remnant section is 75% off, so this 1/4 yard of fur turned out to be $1.25. I think I can handle that. As soon as I saw it, I had…

Happily Ever After DIY Canvas
It all started with this: See that large blank wall space above my bed? I wanted something to fill it. I have this cool candle-holder-wire-thing that I thought might be pretty, but since it’s my bedroom, I wanted it to be something more personal and romantic…not a boring old “something I could just buy in…

Guest Room Wall Art
Hello there and a happy Monday to you! Remember my guest room from many posts ago? The one I painted blue, sewed curtains for, and added my garden stool to? Yes. That one. It’s the only guest room in my house…so it’s pretty easy to keep track of which guest room I’m talking about. {teehee}…

Fall Tree Hair Clip
There I was, minding my own business, when the desire to make some sort of fall accessory fell upon me. Being the responsive person I am, I decided to give in. (It did help that my daughter was already in bed and my husband was outside changing the battery in our car. Thus, I was…

Toddler Ruffle Scarf
The other day I was in the fabric store looking for buttons for my hubby’s shirt. (I have learned that it’s much more exciting to work on a new project than to sew buttons on shirts. Guess how long it took me to figure that one out?) 😉 I stopped by the fabric remnants bin…

Little Bit o’ Happiness
This is a happy fabric, isn’t it? Bright & cheery! I found it in the fabric remnants section and it was definitely calling my name. I don’t know how else to explain it… 😉 I pondered what to do with the fabric…here I am pondering away: It was a labor and sweat-intensive ponder. 🙂 Enter…

In Bloom
Hello! I hope you all had a refreshing weekend. My hubby was feeling sick this weekend, so we just hung around the house on Saturday. I was excited because I got to go through all my little girl’s clothes and switch out her spring/summer clothes for fall/winter ones. I tell ya, that’s a big job!…

Magnolia Wreath
I’ve been needing a wreath for my door ever since I moved…um…2 months ago? I had several qualifications: inexpensive (read: less than $5) seasonally appropriate (which is why I haven’t hung my Christmas wreath up…) pretty (basically just something I liked) I saw some really pretty lima bean wreaths around the ‘net, but when I…

$3 Wall Art
Greetings and Salutations. 🙂 So I was in Hobby Lobby last month (looking for pin backs or some such nonsense) and cut through the wall art section to get to the jewelry section when I saw this: Wow. Big. Cool. And one other word popped into my head when I saw the price tag. I…
