I will be the first to admit that there are a million different variations of this project floating around out there, but that’s also kind of why I love these little ghosts. We made a version of these every year with my mom when we were kids, sometimes out of cheesecloth and kitchen twine like …

As much as I really, truly love Halloween (or, more specifically, watching Hocus Pocus on repeat), I will admit it is just not traditionally my go-to holiday when it comes to crafting. I feel like it comes so quickly after summer and I tend to go much bigger for Thanksgiving and Christmas, so Halloween feels a …
I’ve been watching the days and weeks flip by on the calendar and there’s no denying that my favorite time of year is just around the corner! From Halloween through New Year’s, I find myself pretty much giddy constantly. Add in the fact that we’re having a baby this year, too, and I am basically over …
Remember a few months ago when I dyed some shibori onesies and then made the world’s prettiest dip dyed tote bags? (Um, even if I do say so myself.) Well, I wasn’t lying when I promised that I was quickly becoming obsessed with dyeing things. As in, every thing. Today I’m sharing these pretty DIY ombre …
Ever a lover of all things gold leaf, I recently decided to jazz up a plain, simple white frame with a bit of a metallic touch. I’d had this pineapple photograph print (by Ez Pudewa of Petit Pippin) for going on a year and a half (or honestly it may have been closer to two …
Well, I’m entirely unsure as to how it happened in an instant, but Labor Day has come and gone and it’s officially time to gear up for football season! We’re big football fans in this house, mainly NFL, but we do enjoy a good college game, too. (Also, we have a football player of our …
If you’ve started to notice that I have a thing for DIY mugs (as previously evidenced here, here and here), well, you’d be right. Hopefully you’re into mugs, too, because I have a few more tutorials up my sleeve in the coming months, although I promise not to inundate you all at once. And if …
With the arrival of our little bebe seemingly right around the corner, I’ve decided it’s probably time for me to speed up my thought process with regards to preparing a nursery and just preparing in general. Because I know this little nugget will be the baby of the family, I’m trying to be really careful about …
Remember a while back when I made what was arguably the world’s prettiest DIY marble pitcher? Well, I couldn’t get enough of playing with nail polish and that made resisting the urge to make DIY marble mugs impossible. The process here is much the same so scroll through for details!
I keep both a notebook and a very detailed spreadsheet for brainstorming, cataloging and organizing DIY ideas that I’d like to eventually turn into posts. I scribble down ideas as they strike me and also occasionally sit down for longer, more formal brainstorming sessions. And then there are the days you’re about to shoot a …
Here in our neck of the woods in the northeast, we are transitioning into prime farmer’s market season right now. The squashes, zucchini, cucumbers and tomatoes are everywhere. Over the next month or two those will start to give way to pumpkins, butternut squash and all of those winter vegetables we love so much in …
There are few things that say “summer” quite like watermelon and I’m a big, big watermelon fan. I like munching on it fresh off the rind, I like it juiced into cocktails, I like watermelon print plastered all over, well, everything. So today we’re keeping with all things summery and crafting up these super cute …
