For Mother’s Day my sister and I always try to come up with something extra special for our mom. She loves handmade things (LUCKY US!) and has lots of fun things in her yard. Planters made from tires have been popular for a while and I’ve been wanting to make her one. It seemed like […]

Cricut Craft: Project Tote for Crocheters
Last time I was in a giant craft store picking up some yarn I decided to check out the Cricut section. HOLY COW! I couldn’t believe all of the wonderful things available. There were bins of plain hats, bags and shirts to use with iron-ons. I found this perfect-size tote bag just screaming to go […]

This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Cricut. The opinions and text are all mine. If I had known how cool the Easypress 2 machine is I would have tore into the box a lot sooner! Cricut sent two machines to me to review, the 9×9 and the 6×9. Once […]

DIY: Stacking Pan Jack
Fall is by far my favorite time of year. I love everything about it, especially Halloween. I wanted a new decoration by my front door so I checked out my mom’s thrift store for some ideas. I love big canning pots, but rarely see them. She had a few, plus an interesting tall, skinny metal […]
