One of my absolute favorite past times (aside from making awesome things) is to check out the interior design and decor of new restaurants and bars. I love the modern esthetic of these trendy new spaces with their gold hardware, modern lighting, and amazing tile. One trend that I keep seeing pop up everywhere is […]

Now that my kids are a bit older, we have started a yearly tradition of going to see the “BIG” fireworks on the Fourth of July. Last year we found our new favorite spot not far from our house where everyone can bring picnic blankets and chairs and there is live music leading up to […]

After seeing the deliciousness that is LA based Amazebowls on Instagram, I just had to try my hand at my own version since flying to LA for breakfast wasn’t really an option. Amazebowls are acai smoothies of a sort served in a coconut half and then topped with whatever toppings you crave from fresh fruit […]

Back in March I shared my mini succulent planters made from plastic Easter eggs and you all loved them! I still have my mini planters out on my shelves even though Easter is well past because although they are made with Easter egg bottoms, they are perfect to display all year. The other day I […]

This post for a red, white, and blue summer wreath has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and Skittles. All opinions are mine alone. #SkittlesAmericaMix #tastetherainbow #CollectiveBias Summer is here! Well, maybe not officially, but the kids are out of school, the weather is warm, and I had my first dip in the pool yesterday, […]

I originally shared this tutorial over on the Craftaholics Anonymous blog, but felt that you all would love it too, so I wanted to go ahead and share it here as well. You may not know that I have a fond love of science and being able to incorporate a few elements, like these test […]

Wait. What do you mean? I am pretty sure doughnut IS a verb. As in ‘I am about to go all doughnut on his a**’. Nope. Scratch that. However, it totally should be a verb to crafters, because what is more fun to make than doughnut themed everything? Today, in celebration of national doughnut day, […]

Most of my crafting begins by just looking all around me and gaining inspiration from what I see. Whether it is in the craft store looking at new products, at Target/Home Goods/Other random decor store, or even just in my craft room, I tend to draw ideas for new crafts from everywhere. And sometimes those […]

I came across a few pairs of brightly colored espadrilles on a late night internet shopping spree that I just loved, but the price tags were a bit to high for me (I’m kind of a cheapskate when it comes to clothes and shoes, home decor on the other hand, not so much:). I decided […]

Hey everyone, I’m excited to share this fun summer clutch tutorial with you today! Square by Design at Joann Fabric and Craft Stores is a line of pre-cut and edged fabric with a woven design in the center. They are perfect for many types of sewing projects including pillows and tote bags. Today, I wanted […]

As a Mother’s day gift to myself, I recently purchased a new chair for the little landing space I have at the top of my stairs. Loving color as much as I do, it was hard for me to leave the chair neutral white for long, so I decided to confetti-fy it using adhesive vinyl. […]

One of my favorite outdoor projects I’ve made is this colorful cinder block succulent garden. I love the color mixed with the concrete mixed with the different shapes and textures of the succulents. After being introduced to a new crafting cement mix at a blog conference in April, I knew that I wanted to create […]
