I am thrilled with how this birthday craft adventure turned out. Some of these were super simple. Some were much more involved. Some I already painted over (the color scheme in the finger painting no longer worked for me and I wanted the canvas). Some I'll be hanging on to for years. Some will be…

This was not supposed to be the 26th project. I had it all planned out, remember? But then I found an inexpensive wood trunk and realized that what I had intended to do for #26 would be WAY better if I waited for Paul to get home to complete it. So I'll still be making…

I got my wreath completed. Making a driftwood wreath to hang above the fireplace has been my goal since that first week in the new place when I found a handful of driftwood. Originally, I intended to make it more "wreath like" but lots of pinterest searching and an un-official poll on instagram helped me…

I finished. And it's safe to say, this is one of my top five favorite projects ever. (Also in the top five : the headboard & the giant song lyric canvas – surprisingly, both are also black and white.) But really, I love it. I love that the idea came from something similar but different.…

I may or may not have done a happy dance yesterday while taking pictures of this project. This is PROJECT TWENTY THREE. And I have absolute set in stone plans for the last three projects. Which means… I AM GOING TO FINISH. It was a huge deal for me to get these 26 projects completed.…

Sometimes I see stuff on Pinterest and I re-pin and sigh, "someday." Other times I pin something and immediately shut my computer and head to the fabric/craft store. This dress (pinned here and original source/tutorial here) was one of the latter. But the result was somehow hilarious and I was wildly entertained on Sunday afternoon…

As promised, these project posts are going to be popping up frequently (even with the blanket knitting). I have "plans" for the next five but that doesn't really mean anything because I had "plans" for the original 26 and only maybe two of those have been realized. But I really wanted to make a heart…

Prepare for the project posts to start coming fast and furious. I have only 6.5 weeks until my birthday and six more projects to go which means I have to wrap this up quickly… Little known fact, I collect clutches (and scarves). Someday I should do a post about all of them because I'm sort…

Remember how I didn't see our townhouse until move in day? I signed a lease based on photos and videos and then was thrilled the day I moved and realized it was 10x better than I imagined. Seriously. I'm obsessed. But one thing I knew right from the beginning that I would want to change…

EDIT! I've gotten a lot of questions about this project and shared some extra tips here! This project was completely inspired by this. I loved the huge size. I loved the black and white. My original plan was to make my handwriting messy and almost not readable just like that inspiration image. But then I…
