This is a super fun, super easy DIY. My kids love it. (So do I!) We keep jars of colored pasta on hand at home for when crafty inspiration strikes. The boys use it to make necklaces and pictures. The process is so easy. What you need: Dry pasta – any shape or size. Tubes are … More Make It Monday – Colored Pasta
I like to keep my hands busy if I’m watching tv or just hanging out with the boys, but if it’s not easy and to hand at the moment, it’s hard to get motivated. What I’ve been doing lately is to prep several embroidery designs so that they are ready to go when the mood … More Make It Monday – Embroidery On the Go
I have been having a jolly little time experimenting with sewing on vintage sheets. I love the patterns of vintage sheets & they are so soft.

One of our traditions with my sister & Mom is to make a Christmas craft together over the Thanksgiving break. We will often pick a craft together & do the same thing, but this year we each chose to do our own thing. We actually all chose something we saw on Pinterest!

Didn’t get up to too much crafting this week. My house is much more conducive to creativity now though so hopefully the week ahead will yield lots of pretty, fun things.

I have been fighting a headache all day – I think it’s the leftovers of my, thankfully short-lived, cold. Headaches & creativity do not dwell peacefully together. I thought I wasn’t going to manage a creative act today, but I decided to get my sketchbook out & see what happened. I ended up doing a … More 30 Days of Creativity – Day 29
I finally did it! I made a fascinator. I have been wanting to make one for ages, but have been kind of intimidated. I decided that my first attempt would be a Summery fascinator that wouldn’t look heavy, but I also didn’t want it looking too bridal so I went black & white. I even … More 30 Days of Creativity – Day 27
