Last year, around this time, I reported that I have in my possession this stash of vintage wrapping paper that I bought at a yard sale many years ago and have been hauling from house to house ever since. I never wanted to use it just for wrapping presents, so I decided to use it for….keeping in a box in … Continue reading
Click here to see how I later turned these dinosaurs into ornaments! Hope everyone (in the US)’s Thanksgiving was wonderful. We had and still have lots of family visiting, so we’re keeping busy. But I did have time to get both this project and this post done before December! When you tell people that you’re making a dinosaur Advent … Continue reading
Linking up with the Dare to DIY-Dare to Entertain party! I meant to get this post up last week, so it would be a little more…in time for Thanksgiving. I did not, as you see, succeed, but since my Thanksgiving decorations all seem to veer off into Christmasy territory anyway, I’m just calling this a holiday table and pretending … Continue reading
Linking up with the Dare to DIY-Dare to Entertain party! Every once in awhile a remarkable thing happens: I have this idea in my head of how I want something to turn out, only I don’t really know how to make it happen.

I really liked the idea of one big pumpkin sitting on a chair, but I wanted to do a big white one instead of black. Mostly because … Continue reading

I decided to keep it up by doing a craft project involving a banner AND book pages! And I can totally see why everyone wants to make tiny … Continue reading
Before I get into the details of customizing high chairs (spoiler alert! I drew an octopus on it!), a few thoughts on the Antilop, in all its modern plastic affordability. There is not any high chair, no matter how expensive, that really gets me excited. I get excited about totally out of budget baby clothes. I could spend a fortune … Continue reading
I’m always on the lookout for crafts even I can’t am unlikely to screw up. So when I came across these super cute pinwheels awhile back on Circusberry, I pinned them immediately: Circusberry ….and then, a couple of days ago, I did something even better: I actually MADE some! Crazy idea, right? You pin something and then you make it. … Continue reading

Pinterest challenge hosted by: Katie at BowerPower, Sherry at Young House Love, Emily at Sparkle Meets Pop, and Renee at Red Bird Blue At any rate, for the last Pinterest Challenge I redid Ari’s desk. Everything went very smoothly, I was very pleased with the end … Continue reading
