S.O.S.

S.O.S. = Sad old sofa. Our living room sofa was actually the one I owned before we got married. And the years have not been so good to her (I assume sofas are female like ships, club chairs are male…obviously). The poor old gal is comfy and is a favorite bed for some visitors but ...

Halloween Treat Boxes

Sharing these again since they were a hit in Evan’s class last year. The nice thing about doing favors for school is it gets easier every year…unfortunately I have twice as many to make since I need some for Noah’s class too! I made some treat boxes for E’s class at ...

How to Make A Mesh Wreath (Or making it up as you go along)

You guys…this is totally a big deal: I actually FINISHED a craft project and in a timely manner none-the-less. That NEVER happens. I don’t really consider myself very “crafty”…creative and artistic…yes, but crafty seems to elude me. Which is ...

Craft Closet & DIY Ribbon Storage

I recently shared my workspace and gallery wall in my office. In that same room I also have this… Oooohh…doors. I’m sure you’re seriously impressed by now. These are the key to having any sort of order with two boys running around because behind those double doors ...

So last week I shared my office gallery wall. One of the pieces I created was a printed quote over a watercolor I did. I love the contrast between the printed typography and the fluidity of the paint. Here’s how to make your own! Supplies needed: – Watercolors or Acrylic paint ...

The Ultimate Roll-Out Sugar Cookie Recipe

I finally bit the bullet and purchased this beauty over the weekend: I’ve always wanted a stand mixer but couldn’t justify the expense. However since recently I have trouble using a hand mixer, I figured now was as good a time as any. I love this color (they carry it at Target so ...

E turns Three – A Dinomite Celebration

Evan turned three this past week. It seems like not that long ago that I was writing this, and this. I can hardly believe he’s going to be a preschooler next year. Two was a great age, he learned so much (like numbers to 50!) and can do so much more for himself now (which also means ...
