Valentine Paint Chip Banner
A few weeks ago I posted 14 Fun Ideas for Valentines Day, and I was really inspired to put together some Valentine's decor for my house. I think Valentines Day is one of those holidays that sometimes falls by the wayside, but these days I will use any excuse to do a cute new craft! With only 20 days until Valentine's Day, I loved the idea of making a banner for my fire place, and had a few left over paint chips from when we moved in. I had already done one craft using paint chips (DIY Paint Chip Moving Cards), and I thought using them for this banner would be so cute. This was so quick and ...
Tomato Basil Soup
This lightened up Tomato Basil Soup has minimal ingredients and only 115 calories per two cup serving! This time of the year, as it starts getting cooler (not too cold, we are talking about Georgia after all), I tend to gravitate towards making soups. They are generally easy to prepare, fairly inexpensive, and there are always left overs for my husband to take to work with him the next day. I mostly enjoy any type of soup, and love finding new vegetarian recipes to try. Even soups that have meat can usually be altered pretty easily to be vegetarian....and it goes ...
DIY Scrabble Ornaments
Last year was the first year we had a real family Christmas tree, and I really wanted to make some special ornaments for our tree. I had seen a couple ideas here and there, but when I found the idea for scrabble ornaments I knew it was perfect. My husband, Andres, really loves vocabulary and scrabble, so I thought he would like them more than anyone. These were super simple to make, too. All you need is left over scrabble pieces (don't have any at home? Check for scrabble tiles on amazon here), hot glue, and some string/twine/yarn (your choice). I went ...
DIY: How to Make Your Own Custom Canvas
When I found some super cheap grey chevron fabric at Hobby Lobby ($4 for a yard!) I decided I had to buy it...even though I had no idea what I would use it for. I knew something would come up, and the fabric was really great quality duck cloth, so I knew it would hold up well for any project. Then, when I was cleaning out the garage a few days later, I noticed I had tons of thin scrap pieces of wood, and it clicked that I could easily make my own canvas borders, and then use the fabric to cover it...perfect! This was a super easy DIY project, and super cheap too. Essentially less than $4 ...
The Pillow Dilemma….SOLVED!
Well, after much indecisiveness, I finally came to a decision about which pillows I wanted to order. I ended up finding a local gal on Etsy, and she had pillows that looked perfect. I was having a hard time deciding which patterns to go with though (as you know), and I finally decided on some geometric diamonds and an ikat pattern. I was shocked when I walked into JoAnn's and found the same fabric! I just decided to make them myself...how hard could it be?! Let me tell you...I am now obsessed with ikat print. Ikat, where have you been all my life?! ...
