When you think of yarn and felt, do you think of their use more for in the fall and winter? Although I think they are perfect for the winter months, I would also argue they are great for spring and summer as well. Maybe this makes me a rule breaker. Will you break the rules with me too? As I was crafting this week, I realized my two new projects both used what most may consider "winter" craft supplies. If you use some bright, spring and summery colors, I think amazing crafts can use felt Continue Reading
Handprint Santa
I love hand print art and capturing the cuteness of my kids' hands being so little. You might remember seeing my Thanksgiving turkey or how we stamped ornaments with their hands. Today, I am showing you our handprint Santa Claus. In the light of events from last Friday at Sandy Hook Elementary, these simple Santa Claus handprints have moved me more than just seeing a cute craft. I can't stop looking at these handprints and thinking how blessed I am. I continue to pray for these Continue Reading
DIY Feather Wreath
I am so excited to share today's Project Spotlight with you! A few weeks ago, I fell in love with a white feather wreath at Target. I stood there staring at it, trying to decide if I should buy it. It cost $19.99, and I decided to pass it by and try to make it myself. Today I am going to show you the technique I came up with to make this DIY feather wreath, and it only cost about $4.00 to make! That is less than 1/4 the price at Target, and it really was so easy! Here is what you will Continue Reading
Two-Minute Fall Decor

This is what I came up with... I literally grabbed a piece of wood I already had, three frames from the dollar store, three Continue Reading
Hair bows for “Our Hearts. Our Love.”
I had intentions of starting my Friday Project Spotlight back up yesterday, but you see the day got away from me. What I wanted to share with you are some hair bows I made for a sweet friend. My friend Kendra just had a beautiful baby girl about three weeks ago. Kendra already had one sweet little girl, Isla, and she waited to find out the sex of this baby at birth. She had Gracie while I was on the road, and I have been itching to make these cute girls some hair bows since she was Continue Reading
