While shopping with Beverly, from Flamingo Toes, last week, I found some easter eggs at Pottery Barn covered in little hydrangea blossoms. (sadly I could not find a picture online of the inspiration eggs, so you'll just have to take my word for it)  I love hydrangeas, in fact they are my favorite ...

I use the word room cautiously because it is actually just a corner of what is supposed to be a formal dining room - but it also houses our baby grand.  So far in my crafting life I generally cut things out on the floor.  It's not so good.  My dining room table is usually covered in food or ...

As promised!  When I made the Spring Tablecloth last week, several of you commented that you have round tables - well here you go!  Actually, making a round tablecloth is not that much harder than making a rectangular one.  There is really only 1 extra Step. So if you're ready, here's how it's ...

so you know, some crafty people aren't always the neatest people.  I fall into that category for sure.  I LIKE things neat...I'm just too busy using the right side of my brain to have to worry about structure and organization.  BUT the fact of the matter is...I am happier when everything is in it's ...

Before I introduce my guest, I wanted to let all the previous guests know that I am now so techno-savvy that you can get a button from the Guests page - something fun to decorate your blog with! Now on with the good stuff... Today I am super-excited to share a guest post with you from Mrs. ...

Charlotte's bathroom is also the Guest bathroom. Therefore, I didn't want to decorate it all rubber ducky or something. I want it to be a space adults can relax in too. I created this shower curtain - originally two panels (bought at Ross for $10.00). Then I added the strip of fabric to the ...
