These clay egg planters would be perfect for a spring/Easter get-together. Colette patterns launched an adorable new shift dress pattern this week. It’s especially awesome because of the many different variations and customization options, instructions for which you can download for free, even if you don’t buy the pattern. Need a new bag? This minimalist […]
Fun with Washi Tape
Today I played around with washi tape a bit. I love the stuff, but except for using it to tape up orders for my shop, I never quite know what to do with it. Today, though, I used it to make some notebooks and my pencil cup (ahem, a tin can), way more cute. The […]
DIY Inspiration: Sparkling Ear Cuffs

Changes
Like everybody else, I’m super bummed about Google Reader going to the internet graveyard. I’ve seen The Old Reader, Feedly, and Skimr recommended as replacements, and I’m trying to decide which to use. If you’re switching RSS readers, please don’t forget to re-add my blog!

DIY Camera Strap From A Belt
For about as long as I’ve had my camera, I’ve been meaning to replace the strap that came with it. Cute straps are kind of tough to find, though, and pretty expensive. But you can convert an old belt into a camera strap that’s easy to switch out whenever you feel like a change. I […]
