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 […]

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. And I DEFINITELY don’t like the jinky-junk decorations that just clutter up the countertops and become bait for my curious 17-month old. Well, my mom came to visit this week and […]
