I just pulled these cookies out of the oven and they smell delicious! I originally seen the recipe somewhere on Pinterest earlier this year and had been waiting for fall time to make it. Since I’ve made my own caramel in the past I almost used that instead of the pre-packaged squares; but decided against […]
Homemade Dishwasher Detergent
Our last box of dishwasher detergent ran out this weekend; instead of buying some I decided to make my own! It turned out to be super simple and cheap, the most expensive item is the citric acid so I need to find a cheaper way to buy that. Here is the recipe: 1 cup Borax […]
Reversible Coffee Cozies
I might have a slight addiction to buying fabric remnants. I have a couple fabric types that I look for: baby flannel for some burp cloths & diaper straps and cotton fabric with fun patterns for reversible coffee cozies. I have found some amazing deals on remnants and am excited to see the final product […]
Glass Etching Dollar Store Glasses
I discovered glass etching last year around Christmas time and had all sorts of plans to make some awesome gifts. My first attempt didn’t turn out that great so I put the kit back in my craft room and didn’t really think about it again. About a month ago, I started thinking about it again […]
Peach Pie Filling
This winter I am going to be baking quite often. Back a couple months ago, Brad and I made cherry pie filling and then earlier this week we made Peach pie filling. Something didn’t work perfectly so the jars don’t look pretty; however, I imagine that it will still taste just fine. I think I […]
DIY Welcome Mat
I’ve been in search of a new welcome mat for our front door. I haven’t found exactly what I wanted, so I made my own! This turned out to be a simple project and just took a few minutes to complete. Below is the tutorial of how to make your own welcome mat. I made […]
Making Pickles
I have a slight addiction to pickles. One of my favorite snacks is bread and butter slices wrapped in Tillamook Cheddar (I discovered this back in Jr High or Highschool). When Brad and I go to Claim Jumper Happy Hour we always order an extra side of pickles. We’ve had a waitress tell us she […]
Reversible Coffee Cozies
I have been on crafting overload these past couple weeks since I started walking. Crafting was a lot more difficult while I was on my knee scooter so once I was walking 100% in my boot, I went into overdrive and haven’t stopped making things since. Today I’m going to share some super cute and […]
Simply {Darr}ling Etsy Store
My Etsy store, Simply {Darr}ling, is officially open! This has been on my to do list for the past few months, and I finally did it! I still have a few items that I need to post (they just need good pictures taken first). Here is a preview of items that I have up in […]
Yearly Photobook
Every year around Brad and my anniversary I make a photobook to document the adventures of that year. The name of those photobooks are actually where I came up with the name for this blog. My photobook for this year came in the mail this past week and I love how it turned out. The […]
