weekend project: necklace display

I have a pretty little necklace collection and for months I’ve been bookmarking ideas for how to display them. I’ve added jewelry trees and decorative hooks to online shopping carts only to leave them unpurchased. I couldn’t find anything I was happy with. So I finally just put a few nails in the wall above [...]

I had big plans for making things this weekend. I was going to make a new summertime quilt for my bed. That down comforter just seems so unnecessary on these 90 degree days! And I wanted to make curtains, but after a disappointing trip to the fabric stores I had to put those two ideas [...]

weekend project

We got back from our crazy weekend adventures late last night. We had so much fun but it’s nice to be home and not in the car! With all the traveling I didn’t have any time for weekend projects (unless you count laundry and dishes, I do not) but if I had I definitely would have made [...]

I love this adorable idea for mini cobblers that Megan from Not Martha came up with. She made them for a bake sale, which is the sweetest idea ever! And I think they would be perfect for gifts or a fun contribution to a party (it’s always so much more fun to take something homemade [...]

You hear the term “upcycling” thrown around a lot these days and I’m not a big fan of the word. To me it seems like romanticizing rubbish.  I think that true upcycling means taking an otherwise useless material and making something beautiful out of it. This week’s weekend project does just that! I love these soda [...]

The last few days have been so full of sunshine and blue skies, that I was kind of shocked this morning when we woke up to a thick blanket of snow!  And it’s still snowing!  It’s so pretty that I don’t really mind a lazy, cozy day inside. In case you’re stuck inside too, I [...]

I saw this stunning velvet headband tutorial on A Field Journal and I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it. The velvet and beads and feathers are so perfect for this time of year. Aren’t they gorgeous! Happy Sunday!

weekend project: polaroid card

It always seems like I spend forever in the card section of Target hunting for a pretty card that says what I want to say.  And I can only find ugly cards with nice sentiments or pretty ones with silly words.  So I love this card by Ruthi Auda. Making a Polaroid camera envelop out of [...]

All the wonderful sweater weather that has been coming our way has also sent me a ton of Etsy orders and another wholesale order (my largest yet!) so there hasn’t been much time for just-for-fun projects this weekend. But I did come across two fun ideas that I just had to share: D.I.Y Saddle Shoes [...]

a little weekend project

The new Urban Outfitters catalogue arrived a few weeks ago and I was so impressed!  The photos and layouts are so lovely and a bit more grown up and put together than usual.  After flipping through a few times, I knew I just had to do something fun with it.  And so I made these: [...]
