My rose bush is blooming like crazy right now and I had a few flowers which were about to drop all their petals. I remembered that Nourishing Joy had posted a recipe for making Rosewater to use as face toner so I decided that I was going to try it out. I’m also almost out […]
Craft Room Reveal
Brad and I moved into our house almost 4 years ago. When we moved in, Brad and I each claimed an extra bedroom as “our room” to do whatever we wanted. Brad’s room has since been changed into a guest room and all his computer stuff moved into our joint office, but I still have […]
Oh Glorious Sunshine
We have been absolutely blessed these past few weekends with glorious sunshine. Ever since Easter, the weekends have been nice and sunny and the weather has held off the rain for the Tuesday-Thursday timeframe. This past weekend we have enjoyed the upper 70s and the pets are enjoying their extra time outdoors. I was recently […]
DIY Makeup Remover Pads
Back in November I made some makeup remover using water, baby shampoo, baby oil (olive oil also works) and a bit of lavender or tea tree oil. I had just been using it with a cotton ball but this past week I made some makeup remover pads. I found some remnants of terry cloth and […]
Updated Bathroom Paint
Brad was in California this week chaperoning the school’s band tour (at Disneyland…yes, I’m a little jealous) and I knew that I needed a good project for the week so that I didn’t end up shopping every evening. A couple years ago I painted our downstairs bathroom two different shades of green but as I […]
Measuring Spoon & Cup Organization
One of the first items on my 40 bags in 40 days challenge was to clean out the kitchen utensils. I’ve been wanting to do something else with my measuring spoons and cups to get them out of the valuable drawer space. The back of cabinet doors looked nice and inviting, perfect for some hooks […]
Clothespin Picture Holder
An exciting Saturday night of crafts! Renee and I ventured out to the craft store Saturday evening with a mission to make a clothespin picture holder. We also learned that clothespins are available at the dollar store and are a TON cheaper than the craft store. Our goal for these are to show off pictures […]
A busy week with the Silhouette
I’ve had a busy week with my Silhouette this week. I had 4 main projects that I worked on this week (there is one more in the works, but it got delayed thanks to the cat stealing a few pieces). The first project this week was trying out the heat transfer material. I cut out […]
Welcome Sign
About a month ago I went to IKEA to return a couple items, when I walked in I discovered that they were having a garage sale of sorts. They had a bunch of doors and drawer fronts that were all $1! I knew that these would be perfect for some sort of project so I […]
Homemade Caramel Sauce
I just finished making my homemade vanilla caramel sauce. It turned out to be super simple, just takes a bit of patience. I first tried to make this a couple months ago and epically failed (basically I burned it). At one point, I was worried and thought that I would have to start over, but […]
