DIY Holiday Candle
Today I decided to whip up a little holiday table decoration just in time for Thanksgiving. A row of these candles would look great on a festive table, and because they’re made with rosemary, they smell good, too. They’re a perfect project to put together while watching your favorite holiday tv movie. Which means you […]
DIY Mint and Gold Mini Tray
DIY for the spiked earrings here, and the candle here. It feels like it’s been forever since I’ve finished a project, even though it’s only been since September.

Faux Shibori Pillows
Last week I told you guys about how I played around with bleach and denim for a faux shibori effect. This weekend I sewed my bleached denim into pillows. We have plenty of pillows in other rooms, so these are both destined for the master bedroom, I think. For the past couple of years we’ve […]
