Princess Fur Trimmed Pink Velvet Cape
Every year for Christmas I try to make a homemade gift for each girl, a little something special from Mommy. Sam’s request was a “Pink Princess Aurora cape that goes all the way to the ground and twirls and has pink fur on the edge.” Now I don’t believe Princess Aurora, i.e. Sleeping Beauty, actually […]
peacock feather shoe clips
I’m seriously in crazy stupid love with these clips. They’re so irrestibly soft & fuzzy and the peacock feathers are just the most beautiful shades of turquoise, royal blue & jade green. The best part is, of course, that you can clip then on or off. Commitment free trends? Yes, please. The construction of these […]
Entryway Makeover: DIY Before & After
Let me just say this, upfront & honest, this project took me MONTHS to finish. First the frame was sitting around empty, then the chair was half painted in the garage, the buffet sat with no hardware…it’s been a work in progress to say the least. Sometimes when I see before and afters I automatically […]
DIY Lemon Cake Body Scrub- a recipe
My dear friend Stacy just moved into a new house & we decided to meet at her new place before our girl’s night out last night. Thankfully, I knew of the perfect last minute housewarming gift. Chances are you have everything you need to make a homemade body scrub in your pantry already. For this […]
Crewcuts Knockoff Starfish Tank
I snapped a picture of this tee in the Jcrew window at the mall the other day, so cute right? Well, at $42.95 I about gagged up my food court chick-fil-a. I mean seriously?? It’s a CHILDREN’S T-SHIRT! There was only one solution…KNOCK THAT BE-OTCH OFF. (apparently it’s SUPER SHOUTY CAPS TUESDAY!!!)The ombre tank is […]
Make a tie-dye heart dress from a men’s undershirt (video!)
Remember those cute little tie-dye heart dresses from last week’s Tulip tie dye post? I thought the tutorial would be best demonstrated with video. I split it into 3 parts however that way you don’t have to sit through 15 minutes of stuff you don’t need if you’re just looking for one step in particular. […]
unbreak my heart sweatshirt
I believe American Apparel used to carry a sweatshirt that looked like this. It featured a large red heart that ‘broke’ when you unzipped the hoodie. I love having a favorite, super soft go to hoodie for running to school in the morning or snuggling up in while blogging. With this heart hoodie I can […]
sophie badger:: mommy’s little honey badger
I’m sure you’ve seen the crazy internet video sensation that is the “Nasty Crazyass Honey Badger” but if not you’ll want to click here & watch it. (warning: cursing involved) It might just be my favorite video on youtube EVER. It’s certainly right up there with spaghetti cat. This might be the type of humor […]
Ruler Growth Chart Tutorial
Did you see this on my Pinterest DIY board about a month ago? I finally got over to Lowe’s & bought my big piece of wood (to which P said, “hehe, big piece of wood”, I married a 13 year old) & after that the project was easily done in one afternoon… The wood couldn’t […]
