You know those glass jars you get when you buy pasta sauces or jam?  Yeah, I keep all of those.  I actually love to drink water out of jars – I swear it tastes better.  But my cupboard was getting crowded, so I decided it was time to do something fun with them. So I pulled them out, grabbed...

Okay, these aren’t necessarily just for adults – but I love to color and these really inspired me.  I was thinking of buying one of those Dover coloring books but found some free printables that I absolutely love! So I have to share what I found.  Click on the images to go to the image...

I love to make t-shirt dresses (my first one is here)… they’re so simple and yet can be made to look “fancy” easily!  Over the summer I made two dresses/tunic tops from sleeveless shirts and appliqued the shirts to match the skirt material: I’ve been wanting to make some...

This was a total impulse buy.  I was walking through Joann Fabrics with a 40% off coupon burning a hole in my pocket, and I saw this box: I was ecstatic!  Every year I look for a special nativity set but so far I just hadn’t found one I liked.  Precious Moments nativities are fun but verrry...

These were so easy to make!  First, I used a free printable nativity from Hart of the Mountain Studio.  They were meant to be finger puppets, but I wanted to do something different… We printed it out on cardstock, laminated it with my trusty laminator (which I LOVE), cut the pieces out… …then...

We really enjoyed making and decorating sugar cookies yesterday.  :) Don’t they look yummy?  I like to make my sugar cookies nice and fat (and soft), and add almond flavoring.  My favorite way to eat a cookie!  This frosting isn’t anything special, just milk, powdered sugar, and food...

I bought a package of this stuff when it was on sale at Zulily not long ago.  I wasn’t sure about it – there were very mixed reviews.  It seems like people either love it or hate it.  But it was a great price (I believe it was $6, regularly $20 for this package).  Well, we LOVE it! ...

I really am not that into Halloween, but I can’t resist the carving of the pumpkins!  On Saturday, I requested that my husband carve our pumpkin, but I wanted something a little more elaborate than last year’s funny face.  I was inspired by the carriage pumpkin lantern found via Pinterest...

If you’re not into pumpkin carving, this is the project for your family!  It’s fun, inexpensive, and rewarding. I found these baby pumpkins at our local Grocery Outlet for 79 cents each – aren’t they cute?  I couldn’t resist.  They seemed to be calling out to me, “Take...

Something about Fall.  I start making things, baking, and beautifying my home (as much as I can) even more than usual.  :)  Do you get that bug, too? Here’s what I’ve been up to: I made a reversible a-line dress/jumper for Emma.  I used a New Look pattern (altered a bit to make tie...

I love the Autumn – it’s a time for cozy sweaters, furry boots, and warm scarves!  I don’t usually think of skirts in this kind of weather, but I saw a sweater skirt on Pinterest that I loved so I decided to see if I could find one in-store near me.  No such luck – and the...
