Have you tried Iron-On Vinyl yet? It’s really amazing stuff! I love to make custom designs for shirts, and you can even use iron-on vinyl on wood surfaces! Cricut has just released a new iron-on product that is so much fun! Patterned Iron-on!  There are some really beautiful patterns and I was so excited to […]

Paint pouring (sometimes referred to as a “dirty pour”) is pretty trendy right now.  I’ve been interested in doing it for awhile, but I didn’t want to spend money on expensive pouring mediums or special supplies.  With a little bit of time and tampering, I found a way to get a pretty marbled paint look without […]

I love discovering new craft suppliers and supplies, so when I was approached by the lovely folks at BurlapFabric.com asking me to try out some of their burlap and fabrics and share about it, I said yes.  I need to do some spring cleaning out in the Craft Shack to make room for more fun […]

Christmas is my favorite holiday to decorate for. If it were up to me, sometimes that would be the only holiday I decorated for! I have kids though, and those kids sure do love their holiday seasons.  So we do a little bit of decorating for all of the holidays.  Valentines Day and St. Patrick’s […]

Last week I shared this simple, rustic wood shelf over on the Walnut Hollow blog.  One of my biggest goals next year is to organize my home.  I need to seriously declutter, and find better ways to store and use the things that I want to keep.  With such limited space in my Shed I’ve […]

Every once in awhile my friends at Offray ribbon send me a happy mail box full of ribbon!  I love ribbon, and I love to craft with it, but things have been so crazy lately and I have way more projects in my head than I have time to do them!  I’ve been looking at the […]

One of our favorite seasonal treats for this time of year is Candy Corn. We love it!  Plus, it’s really such a cute candy. The colors are perfect for Halloween, or Autumn. I’ve never been really comfortable decorating with Candy though. We have these horrible sneaky sugar ants. I always worry that they will find it […]

  Some of my very favorite projects ever are the ones that use the oddest materials.  I love to reuse stuff.  I’m not quite a hoarder level saver yet, but I do often keep things that would otherwise end up in the landfill because I could maybe use it someday.  Out in the Craft Shack I have […]

I received the most amazing surprise a few weeks ago when a brand new Cricut Explore Air cutting machine arrived on my doorstep.  I have been so excited to learn how to use this amazing machine, and it’s been so much fun! I’m not a stranger to these digital cutting machines or Cricut, so I […]

One of my very favorite craft tools is my wood burner (which is not any huge secret). I love to wood burn. It’s also called “pyrography.”  One of my favorite ways to use the wood burner is to make functional art. Art you can use every day! Did you know you can personalize a simple, […]

I have this thing for notebooks.  It’s silly, really. I have dozens of them, and I can’t help buy new ones when I find one I like. I like to draw in them, and I LOVE making lists. I use them to brainstorm when I need a creative idea, or to draw sketches of ideas […]

I love flowers, Easter, and dollar store crafts.  So I figured, why not combine them? I love how this Flower Easter Egg Topiary came out. I’m planning to make a couple more in varying sizes and colors for a grouping of them. They are so delicate and beautiful. The best part is just how easy (and […]

Last year I took some adorable mini pumpkins and I used nail polish to add a marbled effect to them. They turned out so cute.  I used fresh pumpkins though,  and after the season was over, they were thrown away. I wanted to try the same effect on a more permanent surface this year.  These marbled […]
