Since we moved into our house, we’ve been slowly chipping away at changes we want to make to our kitchen, like replacing the light over the kitchen sink. Even bigger improvements are ahead, but I thought that adding this built-in paper towel holder would be a fun and quick project. I was totally inspired by this […]
DIY Graphic Tee
I’ve been wanting my own black-and-white slogan tee for a while now, but I could never find one with a saying I liked. So of course the answer was to make my own. You can buy iron-on letters, which would be the easier way to make this tee, but I couldn’t find any large enough […]
DIY Patterned Phone Case
Pattern from here. Last week I got a new phone , along with a new case to help keep its screen crack-free. Aside from being super slow, my old phone did have a slightly cracked screen, but considering how many times I’d dropped it, it was pretty minor. So for a klutz like me, a […]

Make a Hanging Himmeli Plant Holder

Here’s the new one: The plant is a type of Tradescantia pallid (otherwise known as wandering Jew, which is a problematic name) that is very easy to grow. After I made my geometric himmeli gems, I couldn’t decide quite where to put them. This one […]
DIY Mesh Skirt Modification
It’s been kind of a long time since I’ve done any clothing projects. But I’ve been seeing net and mesh used in a lot of cool ways this Spring (some of which I rounded up here), and I was feeling inspired. So I took a pencil skirt that I’ve had for a long time, and […]
