So some of you may remember this little ditty I arranged way back in November?

Well… I have to admit that it was the swap that just didn’t happen. I was really excited, as 26 people signed up through the form to participate in the swap. But then, as the deadline [...]

Sure it may be way past stocking-season… but I felt like I had to find someplace to hang the newest socks in the house. What are they?? Why they’re baby legs/leggings of course! In stores they sell them for $12+ … and are the perfect little addition to onesies that keep babies [...]
I was downright spoiled by Santa this year. I have a feeling it was because it was my last Christmas before a certain someone else would take the gifting spotlight, but still, I was blessed with too many kind souls who gave me way too much. Everyone must have wanted to inspire my creativity, because [...]

Do you love recycled bags?
Do you shop at Target way too often?
Do you have a sewing machine that is just itching to make something cool?

If you answer yes to the above questions (I’m a big YES on all 3), then it’s time to head to [...]

Once again, the Weddingbee community came together and had a holiday “character exchange” for December. This year, my secret Bee was Miss Snow… who would probably be the easiest Bee to find an ornament for among everyone! We had a $15 limit on our spending… so I just decided to go [...]
I’ve gotten some sad news… as I’ve received emails from many of the people who signed up for the card swap who have since backed out and decided not to participate. I understand how trying the holidays can be for everyone… and sometimes the best laid plans don’t always [...]

Have you ever found yourself in need of the “perfect sized box” — for organization purposes, for gifting, etc. ???
Lovely Design has come up with the perfect solution via a recipe of cardboard/millboard and paper! Check out her awesome PDF for all of the instructions!
Sometimes Christmas doesn’t need to come directly from Pottery Barn… just use the pages as inspiration and improvise with goodies from the Dollar store.
I’ll have to whisper about this gift, but I’m pretty sure I can see a couple of them headed back east for certain people. The tutorial at Living with Lindsay makes this project even easier than it appears to be!
This year… in order to really get into the holiday spirit, I’ll be hosting a handmade holiday card swap here on the blog! Participating will be really quite simple! Just create a batch of homemade holiday cards in any DIY-way that you’d like, send them off to me en masse, and I’ll send back 10 [...]
My adventurous screenprinting class is now over… but that doesn’t mean my exposure to emulsion and water-based ink is complete! Nope… it’s all just starting my friends, and I’d like to give you a preview of my first little project:
ingredients: muslin, black ink
project: Holiday pillows
[photo above is simply of the muslin [...]
