Safe to say this is the EASIEST quilt I've ever completed. Highly recommend if you are new to quilting and looking for something high-impact and fun to start with. The hardest part was actually picking out the colored fabrics, but because I love a rainbow, that was the most fun part too. I bought 1/3…

Over the weekend we finished up Ellerie & baby girl number two's (who we are 99% sure has a name but I'll most likely not share it until she's here) room. I am so happy with how it turned out and really happy that it was a fairly inexpensive make-over. You can see what Ellerie's…

striped tape from oh happy day shop & cute elephant print from Fox Hollow Design on etsy. Last week I was on Pinterest and came across my favorite Harry Potter quote for the 700th time. This time it was inspiring enough – we're currently in the middle of making some big decisions that feel life-changing…

I have had this project on my list for months. I think the first time I saw them pop-up was on the SouleMama blog and I was SO impressed. I mean seriously. Hers look amazing. Of course I tried to just do it myself and didn't follow any tutorials (which has provided me with mixed…

I tend to blog about things and then either causally mention an update or share in the comments section later or respond via email on how those things are working out. Today I wanted to give a big round-up of the most popular projects I get asked about in case you too have been wondering.…

Sometimes (almost always) the simplest projects are my favorite ones. When I bought this frame for Ellerie’s Santa photos, I bought a second one thinking I’d “need” it for something. It sat in my garage for over a year. In February, as part of my “I must clean out every inch of this house” madness,…

So my deadline for a "complete house" has come and gone. And we are…done! I am excited to share some before (move-in day) and afters (two years and so many nail holes later!) in the next week or so. In the meantime, one more project post… I've had eight Ikea Ribba frames in my garage…

I'm excited about project #2. So excited that it jumped two other finished projects because I just had to share my how-to video. This blanket was made from bits of scrap yarn in my stash (remember, I am working to use up old stuff first for MAKE&GIVE30). It was my first time trying to knit…

I've had this idea in my head for way too long and I'm so excited to share it with you today in partnership with Canon USA. I am a huge fan of photo booth strips and we have tons displayed in our house. Most are either on the fridge, on my bulletin board or matted…

Last weekend I dashed around the house like a crazy person hanging, cleaning and crossing-things off. I want to get this house done by February 27th, the two year anniversary of when I moved in. Now I realize "done" is an odd term. People don't like to think of houses being "finished" or home decor…
