The butterfly migration this year in California was spectacular! There were painted ladies flying wherever you looked for days and days. It really inspired me to try to bring a little of that magic inside. This butterfly wall art is a fun and easy project that will have you fluttering in happiness (see what I…
Decoupaged Dresser
If you’ve got an old dresser that’s just lost its oomph or if there’s a good deal on a plain no-frills dresser at Ikea, this is a perfect project to instantly bring some pizzaz to any bedroom. You can even make it match the bedspread, the drapes, your kids pajamas – the options are endless!
Botanical Pumpkins
I’m all about fun pumpkins for the kids, but sometimes you need to do something for yourself. So, these are for me, for you, and for anyone else who’s ever had a love of old botanical prints. Easy to do and they’ll last forever.
Raven Frame Wreath
I don’t know if it was Edgar Allen Poe or Tippy Hedren that officially made birds an official sign of Halloween for me. Either way, they’re an oddly elegant way to give the season a nod without hanging a skeleton on the front door. This wreath will only take an old frame and a craft…
Indian Corn Wreath
Few things say fall like Indian corn. Usually it’s relegated to a basket or nestled into a mantle display. Well,no longer my friend, it’s time for it to stand in it’s full glory on the front door! This wreath is very easy to make, so pick up a few extra ears at the pumpkin patch…
Double Bacon Blue Sweet Potato

Football Lamp
Football season is here, so it’s the perfect time to dress up the den, man cave, or your young football fans bedroom.
Ballerina Pillows
Perfect little pillows for the perfect little ballerina. (Not only that, but a great way to hide a spot on that formally loved cushion!).
Ice Dye Pillows
Move over tie-die, hello ice-dye! If you’ve never heard of ice-dying it’s time you did. It’s sort of tie-dye’s older more sophisticated sister. Not as messy and, I’d venture to say, a lot cooler if you know what I mean.
Spring Animal Coats
I’ve never liked putting the kids in their winter coats in the spring. Sure, it’s still cold outside, but those heavy winter coats just seem to insure that winter will never leave. So this year I got some cute spring coats on line and turned them into cute spring creature coats for the kids. With…
Carrot Fire Starter Bundles
Just because it’s cold enough to have a fire in the fireplace, it doesn’t mean you can’t start celebrating spring with a basket full of carrots. These carrots are made of grapevine with fresh rosemary greens – toss them in the fireplace under your logs for a quick start, or leave them in a basket…
Bunny Planter Stand
Not only a great way to celebrate the coming of spring, also a great fix for those of us that may not have actual garden space! These bunny planters can be made out of one piece of pine board and come together in absolutely no time.
Butterfly Domes
Nothing says lazy summer day like a gently floating butterfly. In an effort to keep those lovely days in mind all year long, I’ve created a butterfly cloche to remind myself that those summer days are never too far off. Easily done and completely customizable to match your decor they’re a wonderful little fantasy piece.
Squirrel House
Worried about your furry tailed friends this winter? Well, one way to help them out is to build a squirrel house….that’s right…it’s a thing. Not only are you helping out the little guys, they/re actually a pleasure to watch care for their families throughout the year and also help with reforestation as they really don’t…
Cornhusk Dolls
Growing up near Colonial Williamsburg I have always been obsessed with early American crafts. I saw some of the craftsmen there making cornhusks dolls as a kid and next thing I knew I had dragged my mom to the craft store to get the supplies. We had a great time making them and even decorated our entire…
Countdown Calendar
My kids are currently obsessed with the passage of time. “How many days ’til Halloween Papa? When’s my birthday, Papa? How many days ’til Christmas, Papa?”….over and over again. So, to help them I’ve put together this Countdown Calendar – so they can learn about time, practice their numbers….and hopefully stope asking me so many…
Magic Wands that light up!
Every year we do a family Halloween costume. The kids get to pick what it is. We’ve been butterflies and woodland fairies the past two years. This year it’s Margot’s first time to make the call…and she chose witches and wizards – good ol’ classic Halloween stuff, good for you Margot! So, to not disappoint,…
Face Plant!
A fun project for this summer, it’s easy to do with the kids or for the kids to do with the grandparents. You’ve probably got everything you need already laying around, which is also a big plus!
Giant Connect 4!
It’s time for summer family fun – and what says fun more than a giant Connect 4 game!! Any easy building project to do with your kids it can work inside and out, keeps kids busy and builds math and strategy skills. Boom!
Pillow Case Dresses
My girls love wearing dresses. My girls love wearing matching dresses. I love it when my girls wear matching dresses. I don’t like paying for matching dresses. Pillowcases to the rescue! Pillowcase dresses have been around forever and I’ve looked at countless ways to make them. This is my version of the classic – it’s simple….and easy!
