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 [...]
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 [...]

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!
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 [...]
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: [...]
I write about things I like: knitting, fashion, books, and other cozy, lovely things. Thanks for visiting!
