Speaking of graduating, this little encouragement banner has been stretched across our kitchen table (also know as Greg’s desk) ping-pong-net-like for weeks. Our cat has enjoyed going over, under and through it, as well as pulling the stakes up with his teeth and batting the whole thing to the ground. I love how easy it …
Just in time for summer vacation, here’s a (relatively) easy way to brighten up a boring passport, for a lot less money than filling it with stamps! I say “relatively” because I ended up with some very goofy stitching on my very easy project. Oh well. Next time I’ll pick a fabric with fewer colors …
Our goddaughter Emmerson was baptized this weekend! The baptism service was followed by a party at a nearby park — the perfect occasion to put several previous Seakettle projects to use! I made a batch of Oreo truffle pops (note for the future: they get a bit soft outside in warm weather!). I used Hostess …
I must have been extra good last year, because not only did I not get coal for Christmas, but I got magic fairy dust! It’s actually called Amazing Glaze, but it’s pretty much the same thing — magic. (Thanks, Aunt Gail!) Just sprinkle the powder over a surface, heat it up, and watch it turn …
It’s the season of egg decorations, so why not make one you can display all year long? An old cigar box is the perfect frame for an illustration and a few bits of nature. I left room to expand our collection, and we’ve since enjoyed adding another shell and several interesting feathers from our trips! …
It’s so obvious that I can’t believe I’ve never tried it! Or maybe I did, once, when I was little. I’ve […]
I should start by saying that I had no idea how simple it is to make tissue paper pom-poms/flowers/balls. (Nor did I know what to call them.) I’ve seen the festive tissue paper spheres floating over tables in magazines and blog posts (and Martha Stewart sells a kit, of course), and I’ve always assumed they …
Poor St. Patrick’s Day. While the other holidays are having crafty fun with egg dying […]
Our kitty Pixel turned four today! He doesn’t get to do much to celebrate, being on a prescription diet and all, but he does get to have canned food for dinner tonight. After years of dry food, he considers that to be a crazy good time! To make a super easy (but rather short-lived) pet …
I love the knobs and pulls at Anthropologie. LOVE. But my wallet is less excited, especially when it comes to projects like our dresser. 8 knobs x $10 = way more than we want to spend just sprucing up a hand-me-down (the knobs we ended up using were $2 at Home Depot). I do occasionally …
