TUTORIAL: T-shirt Tote Bag, 2 Ways
This is by no means an original idea, but if you haven’t seen it, I thought it would be fun to make my own tutorial. If you’re anything like me, you have stacks of old t-shirts you don’t really like to wear anymore (because they’re so bloomin’ old!) but you can’t bear to part with […]

Nap Mat Tutorial
Call me ambitious… call me crazy… call me pregnant. I added yet ANOTHER crafted item to my list of things to do or make before Baby comes. Since Ryder is no longer sleeping in a crib, I wanted to give him a cozy place to lay his little head when we travel. A quick online […]

It started out harmlessly enough… he would gently touch the roll, and sometimes unroll it a little bit before moving on to something more exciting. That quickly progressed, and now, he grabs the end and strings it all over creation. OR, […]

Super-Easy Table Runner… My First Tutorial!
I enjoy changing up a few decorations here and there according to the seasons and holidays, but I’m not the type to go all-out.
