My fingers took one for creativity with this project. There were moments I am sure they were screaming at me to stop and be kind, but I kept telling them this project was worth it. I do believe it was! I had this old pillow that I no longer really cared for. In our continual task of looking for things to purge rather than pack, I decided to makeover this pillow rather than part with it. I love the small rectangle size. I've been on a yarn kick with my Adventure Awaits wall art, so I had Continue Reading
Adventure Awaits
Have you seen the fun yarn and weave crafts that have been going around? It seems like there is a wave of wall art that is different and based on lots of textiles. I LOVE it.

How to use Felt and Yarn in the Spring

There are squeals of joy when ever she sees a My Little Pony shirt, card, show, etc. One day we were painting and she says she is going to paint Fluttershy (one of the My Little Ponies) and I Continue Reading
DIY Yarn Picture Frame
I have a hard time throwing left over craft materials away, so I store them and can become quite a hoarder if I am not careful. Last weekend I made an initialed D out of yarn, and I had this brightly colored yarn left over. I knew it wasn't enough to make another letter, but there was enough for something fun. I came up with this DIY yarn picture frame. If you can wrap a frame in yarn, you can do this project! I started with an old picture frame I got at the Dollar Tree, and now I think Continue Reading
