Here’s a pretty cool DIY I found on one of my favorite sites. From the look of it, it should be a fairly simple DIY, especially if you are handy with tools If however, you’re not, I have a work-around for you. The design of this is very similar to those old fashioned coat hooks [...]
I was inspired to share this after visiting one of my favorite blogs: I heart organizing. She shared a few ideas about DIY storage items using things you may already have laying about. When ‘getting organized’ the temptation is usually to overlook what you already have on hand and go out and buy the pretty [...]
Here’s a quick little project I found myself making just the other night. I’ve been busy block printing and sewing lately. (BTW, look for new items in the shop soon, yay). I got tired of running upstairs everytime I needed to press a seam. Pressing (or ironing) is that extra something that takes your sewing [...]
And the parade of projects continues, thanks to this highly unusual spring into summer we are enjoying. I just got around to recovering an $8 chair I picked up a couple of months ago from my favorite spot, the goodwill outlet store. I actually rather like the fabric that’s on it. It was just beat [...]
In my five-cent tour of my new office, I promised that there were some smaller projects in the works. The first on my list is the lighting. My newly fabulous office deserves more fabulous lighting, dontcha think? I trolled my favorite thrift store, The Goodwill outlet, for a new-to-me fixture. I didn’t have to troll [...]

So the last week has been quite productive for me. It was especially productive because my beloved van decided to conk out on me during a run to lowes. Luckily I didn’t have any big items in the van at the time. Of course the unfortunate event would fall during my 3 whole days off [...]
Thanks for joining me for The Conclusion. Go here to read part 1. So yesterday I was waxing poetic about the weather how we are going to suffer for it in the higher price of produce this spring, then I started talking about how I fell off, kitchen-wise. I’m sure some of you were like [...]
I know I can’t be the only one, right? You know, the one that waits till the last minute to but still expects to pull off something spectacular. Okay, you don’t have to admit it…skulk away in shame. If you are late on prepping your valentines this year, I’ve done the work for you (last [...]
If you’ve looked around this site, you know that I’m a Graphic Designer by profession. About 5 years ago I first had the inkling that I wanted to design fabrics, giftware, papergoods and home accessories.
