Some of you may remember when I was taking a roll of film of a month of Ellerie. You can see all of these posts here. And here is a fun comparison post from a year of film photos. I took a roll in October 2015. And then Piper was born in early November. I…

Years ago, I made this giant scripted canvas. It is still one of my very favorite DIY projects and it’s still hanging in our house. The lyrics are from a Rise Against song that was our first dance at our wedding. The inspiration for this project is from this pin. In that original post I…

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…

“Let’s!” “Get!” “Crafty!” Back in the day I had grand plans for my own craft channel TV show. Today, I present to you, episode one. (Just kidding. Though six points if you remembered without clicking that link what I’m talking about.) BUT! I did film, edit, voice-over, produce and upload a short video (you can…

It's quite likely this "tutorial" is already known by most photo-savvy folks, but I had NO idea that this technology existed until a few months ago.

You guys, this is the post I wanted to read last fall but couldn't find. I didn't want extra details. I didn't want to know about why podcasting is good. I didn't want suggestions for how to resonate with my audience. I just wanted a step-by-step how to – preferably with a very short video…

I was pretty pleased with how my marbled cards turned out, but it wasn't until I had cleaned up all the supplies that I had the idea to try on some 3D objects. I got everything back out and sacraficed a few white vases (bought on Target clearance last fall) to the cause. Figuring, per…

Have you ever gotten lost on Instagram? It starts by clicking on the popular page and the next thing you know, an hour has passed and you're wrapped up in some drama involving two thirteen year old girls, a boyband and a heavy use of emojis. It's never good but always enthralling. This is how…

Over the past year or so, I have seen an increase in INSTAsales – pop-up shops on Instagram. It seems some people use Instagram as their actual shop, selling vintage or handmade items. Others use it as sort of a garage sale. It makes total sense. If you're active on Instagram, you're likely sort of…
