We’ve all fallen in love with a designer dress or piece of custom furniture, looked at the price tag, and then slowly backed away. Designer clothing, jewelry, and home decor may be fabulous but let’s be honest, no one wants to break the bank on a summer dress you can only wear a few months […]
I have to say, when I first entered the crafting world, toilet paper roll crafts were definitely not on my radar. I was all about scrapbooking projects and printables, not to mention sewing. I can make a mean pillow, ya’ll. But toilet paper roll crafts? Uhhh no way. At first, I was really hesitant about […]
It’s almost spring! You know what a new season calls for – a new wardrobe. I love using the opportunity of changing temperatures to change up my everyday wear, as well – especially when it comes to wearing brighter, less bulky clothes after a long winter of heavy sweaters. But if you can’t just […]
In my experience, when I make DIY bracelets, the first thing I want to do is show them off. I just can’t help myself, especially if they turn out to be absolutely fabulous. I mean, I took the time and the effort to make something gorgeous, so why not flick and shake my wrist a […]

I don’t care what anyone else thinks – sock puppets are hilarious. Take anything, add a sock puppet, and it’s 30 percent funnier. Here are some examples of things made better by sock dolls: School projects. Once, I did a presentation on Hamlet for an English class. Let me tell you, my crazy Ophelia sock […]
So after holiday shopping, you opened your wallet and a fly buzzed out — there’s nothing left in there. I know you’re totally addicted to buying yarn for easy crochet patterns but it might be time to look yourself hard in the mirror and chant, “I will use up my stash.” You have so much […]
It’s true! Flowers can be an expensive wedding decoration, especially if they are fresh or out of season. Between your bouquet, your bridesmaids’ bouquets, the boutonnieres, and your centerpieces, flowers can really add a lot onto your wedding tab. But never fear!
