Christmas is everywhere right now. Blogs are posting holiday gift guides and Christmas cards. Pinterest is almost completly consumed with holiday crafts and recipes; and the stores of course set up there decorations while the kids were out trick or treating. Over the weekend I decided to get in on the festivities and make some snow globe decorations for our mantel. I justified …
For a while now I’ve been swooning over all the beautiful mid century furniture that’s been showing up all over the place. Unfortunately it’s all pretty pricey. And we all know what I do when I don’t want to pay for something…I make it myself. Mid-Century Modern style is so clean and simple which made this coffee table super easy to make. I …
You’ve already kind of seen the finished product of our chair we reupholstered from Pixel’s Watch Me Grow photos, but I wanted to show you more of the process we went through to get this little yellow beauty. Here is the condition we found the poor saggy chair in at Goodwill. The fabric was pretty worn in spots and the caning on the …
Ever since my parents came and helped me with all those diy projects, I keep coming up with more and more things I want to do. It’s so satisfying making things yourself. I probably should take it one project at a time before I get burnt out. These are on my current to do list. Cork Board Pencil Sweater Aren’t …
So remember last year when I got all gung ho about knitting? I had all these projects that I wanted to do. What happened with that you ask? Well, not much.

First we reupholstered the yellow chair, then hung up some …
My parents are visiting this week and we are hard at work. The first project we decided to tackle is reupholstering the chair we picked up at goodwill a few weeks back. We did the majority of the work yesterday and plan on finishing it up today! Here is a little sneak peek. It’s looking great!
I think it’s always a good idea to try to use and repurpose what you already have before running out and buying new things. That’s why I’m loving the idea of this new book by Maya Donenfeld titled Reinvention: Sewing with Rescued Materials. I saw it posted over on Poppytalk earlier this week. It sounds like a great way to be …
A good rug is hard to find; or maybe I’m just too picky. I’ve been scouring the internet trying to find some rugs for our new apartment. So far no luck. I did find Vecco though. Vecco sells rugs that you can paint your own custom design on! They even sell kits with everything you need.
Believe it or not I have never dyed an Easter egg before. I guess it just was never a part of our Easter celebrations. Which I’m kind of surprised about because my mom was very craft oriented when it came to entertaining my siblings and I. I found some dyed eggs that look more like little art masterpieces to me. They are all so …
