Hello friends! Today I’m sharing a little DIY project to help you with your holiday wrapping and decorating. I have to confess, though, that traditionally I’m not much of a holiday decorator. For the last several years we haven’t even gotten a tree other than sometimes a little tabletop rosemary tree from Trader Joe’s. This […]
DIY Glitter Feathers Garland
This DIY project was definitely inspired by this glittered feathers project from Frankie magazine. I started trying to think of things I could do with glitter feathers, and this is what I came up with. The tone-on-tone glitter is pretty subtle, but for a more noticeable look you could definitely use gold or silver glitter […]
Etched Chevron Vase DIY
Glass etching sounds like one of those things that requires industrial equipment, but in reality it’s super easy and fun. All you really need is something glass to etch, etching cream, and something to make patterns with. I’m using tape here, but stickers also work. It’s a great way to personalize plain thrifted vases or […]
Tutorial: Letters of Note Napkins
Have you heard of the site Letters of Note? It’s basically what it sounds like, interesting letters, some of them to or from people you might have heard of. Some are funny, others are poignant or sad, but they’re a pretty fascinating bunch for the most part. When I saw these literary napkins from Anthropologie, […]
Getting Handy
Lately I’ve been living a super glamorous existence. I’ve been doing things like driving around in industrial areas, hoping to score. I spent much of this weekend in the garage, and I visited my local hardware store not once, but twice. Not surprisingly, none of this has done wonders for my manicure. Now before you […]
DIY Tiny Polymer Clay Plant Pots
I’m really a sucker for anything miniature. You know what’s cute? A horse. You know what’s even cuter? A miniature horse. Just try to deny it. You can’t. It’s scientifically proven. It’s also undeniable that these tiny little plant pots, complete with mini plants, are way cuter than full-size ones. They’re also super convenient, since […]
Friday Favorites: 5 Wood Projects for the Home
Next week we’ll be moving into a house in Portland, but we have hardly any furniture since we got rid of most it when we moved across the country at the end of the year. We’ll also have a backyard for the first time, plus access to my parents’ power tools, so this week I […]
Jewelry Organization
Lately I’ve been trying to figure out how to organize my jewelry and accessories. Right now everything is packed away in various boxes, and I’d like to find a semi-temporary solution so I can access everything again. This is tough, because I have quite a collection (mostly vintage, thrifted, or handmade), but if I can’t […]
Terrarium
Nothing seems to sap my blogging mojo like moving, but I’m trying to get back into the habit by tackling some projects I’ve been meaning to try. Most of my craft supplies are in storage indefinitely, so I decided to make a tabletop terrarium because I had everything on hand except for the container, which […]
