My husband is in the process of building us a dinner table.  I wanted something really rustic - farm table style - chunky legs - you know.  So to go around the table, we are using several chairs, all of the different and this cool bench that he made. Obviously, I can't show you the whole thing ...

Wooo hoooo! It's time to kick those summertime blues! It's hot - the kids are a little antsy...so let's stay in the AC and get crafty! We rearranged the "Summertime Blues" schedule a little so I'll be kicking things off today with this Anthro-knock off! I made mine as door-hanging(I actually made ...

Need to boost your wardrobe, but really don't feel like loading up the kids and heading to the store? It's basically a pillowcase dress turned into a shirt. $68  

I have to credit my friend Emily with this idea; she has made tangrams out of cardstock, but suggested that since I love fabric, I should make a fabric one for Charlotte.  So that's what I did! If you would like to make one too, here's the tutorial! Supplies: Print out this ...

It's that lovely time of year - fireworks, berry cobblers, cookouts, and family gatherings. Hooray for the red, white, and blue! Charlotte needed a new dress for the 4th of July. We had snagged a Tommy Hilfiger dress shirt at our local thrift store, and I decided it would make the perfect ...

Happy Friday friends! Today I have the world's easiest dress for you - and it is so comfortable (and I had a coupon for the fabric so it only cost $13)! and let me just say - modeling is hard. That's probably why those Anthro models always look so grumpy and tired. So, I started ...

Well it finally feels like summer!  I don't know how it's been where you live, but we've had a pretty cool spring, and I am ready for warm days and balmy nights. Today I want to share my Beach Ball Pillow Tutorial with you. Where might you put a  beach ball pillow you ask?  Well, depending ...

So I made this necklace yesterday morning - it's my own creation, but it was inspired by these three necklaces from Anthropologie. Can you see how I kind of mixed them all together? I love them all individually - but used the beads I had in  my stash.  It's pretty simple to make, so here ...

In case you're feeling intimidated by Friday's post - this is a really easy, fun way to make your grocery bags your own. Those reusable bags you can buy at walmart, target, etc are usually really cheap and all of the hard work is done for you!  So this is how I embellished one of mine. ...

Happy Friday!  Wow, it seems this week has gone by quickly (I guess the long weekend...).  So earlier in the week, I showed you my Market Bag I made for Simple Simon and Co.'s Vintage Crafter's Challenge. It was fun to make, and is a great way to reuse a vintage find. Today I wanted to give ...

These hairbows are easy, sweet, and a great way to use up fabric scraps! I saw this bow on Anthro: It's cute, but it is 7" wide and 5" tall.  Pretty big bow.  I wanted to make a few last minute bows to slip into Charlotte's Easter Basket - somehow our bows are always disappearing.  I ...

So someone clicked the "Suggest a DIY" button(which I was thrilled about!) and asked for a pillowcase dress tutorial.  I have to admit, I'm not crazy about pillowcase dresses.  In fact, I'd never made one{gasp!} - I know.  It's like a staple clothing item for little girls....isn't it even a ...
