Do you get Serena & Lily catalogs? They’re such a decor tease. The stuff is GORGEOUS but the pricetags are obscene. But I still look, and hope… This last catalog however I was able to figure out a way to make one of the items mine. Serena & Lily Rolling Storage Crate $118 Thrift store […]

DIY Colored Mats
I’ve been seeing colored mats allover the home decor blogs lately & I just love them. Since I’m trying to gradually change the color scheme of my livingroom I thought this would be a great place to start. I used mats that were already in my frames & cheapie crafts paints that I mixed until […]
No Sew Superhero Cape
This Wednesday, moms and kids across the country will come together for a national day of action to ask our Senators to be superheroes for kids and support comprehensive chemicals reform. To help demonstrate their cause the lovely ladies from Mom’s Rising asked if I would create a quick & easy cape tutorial for their readers. […]

I’m SO SO excited about this! The wonderful Sarah from Blogstar approached me awhile back to see if I’d be willing to contribute a project for an e-book she was putting together.

DIY Neon Necklace – Tom Binns Inspired
So answer me this, how much are you lusting over these Tom Binn’s necklaces? I don’t know if it’s just the beautiful bright colors or that they fill a small void that’s been in my heart since I gave up my day-glo pink Hypercolor shirt but I’m all about the neon trend right now & […]
Glow in the Dark Firefly Dress
Lately we’ve been letting Sam stay up past her bedtime so we can chase fireflies in the yard. She loves it & we get all emotional & mushy about how special these summertime memories are with our little girls. I thought a little glow-in-the-dark firefly dress would be fun & a nice way to remember […]
DIY Portrait Sketch
With some neat {and free} picture effects from Picnik & a little bit of tracing you can take this… and make it this! I’m so loving this. It was the perfect addition for my gallery wall & I love that it looks custom made. I’m certainly not going to tell anybody I cheated to make […]
