Who is ready for winter to be over!? (All the hands went up and the hearts said yes). Especially the ones in the northern mid-west of the United States. We got more ice and snow last night in Indiana, so it felt like the perfect time to show you what I did at our art studio yesterday. I set up spring. It was time to take down the winter-Valentines decor... I went straight to warm colors, softer textures, and crafty bits for spring. It was inspired by these two baskets I found Continue Reading
How to use Felt and Yarn in the Spring
When you think of yarn and felt, do you think of their use more for in the fall and winter?

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
Yesterday, I was admiring all the fall decor in Hobby Lobby. Fall is my favorite season, and Hobby Lobby is my favorite store. So, this was a really good moment in my day. While staring at some really cute fall frames, I got the urge to buy one. I checked the prices and didn't want to spend $15 on a frame that was already %40 off. I decided I would make my own! 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
