I bought a few wood end tables at a garage sale a couple of years ago. The kids use them for coloring, eating, playing, kicking, etc... They've been well loved. I think I only paid $5 for both of them and they were already a little worn so I never really worried about them. We've been restructuring our downstairs area and those tables were getting a lot more use and were getting harder and harder to clean off. I decided to come up with a solution. I've been thinking about it for... more » -
Guess what? I've got some of my projects in the Dinotalk Scrapbook Invitational contest. Could you take a moment and vote for me or one of the other participants? We are competing to win $100 gift card for us and $100 gift card for the charity of our choice. Many of you know that my oldest son has autism. If I win, I would donate my prize to the Autism Family Network. It is an organization that provides support and help to families and friends of people with autism. I can't tell ... more » -
I'm pretty sure this shop was on Burano. It was one of the cutest shops I saw the whole time I was in Europe. Most of the jewelry was made incorporating felt beads and glass beads. The colors were amazing and the designs had a modern whimsy that drew me in. What really got me excited, though, were the displays. These were really clever and could easily be replicated. It would make for a gorgeous vendor booth display. ... more » -
The day I saw the post on Fresh Nest about these bean bags, I knew I needed to make them. You see, my kids sit on a kitchen chair and an old office chair if they want to watch their little TV or play video games. Did I mention this is right in the middle of our family room? I've been looking for a bean bag solution but they are so expensive! I wanted to make one myself but didn't have the time or energy to figure out how to do it without a pattern. This pattern was perfect! My dau... more » -
[caption id="attachment_3258" align="aligncenter" width="430" caption="image copyright the dreamy giraffe"][/caption] I was cruising around Etsy today looking for some fun, crafty prints to feature here on my site. In the past, the Stuff I Like Etsy minis have featured a variety of sellers. Today, I feature only one. There were so many super cute prints that I couldn't choose just one or two. Which one is your favorite? Etsy: Your place to buy & sell all things handmade ... more » -
My table was naked. It needed a skirt. You see, this is my "office". It is my old kitchen table sitting in my living room at the top of the stairs. It doesn't look that hot with all those cords and stuff from underneath. I decided to make it a skirt. Here's how I did it: I measured around the inside underneath my table so I could figure out how much yardage I needed. It worked out to be just at 3 yards. So I bought six. That's how I roll. You never know when you're goin... more » -

Cutting your own vinyl lettering and images is really easy with the Cricut but so many people don't try it because it looks a bit intimidating. I made a video to show you just how simple it is to do. On the video I am cutting out letters to put on a bucket I got from the Target $1 spot. Did you see the vinyl on the vase from yesterday? I'm sensing a theme. I wonder what else I can find from there to adhere my vinyl to? To cut vinyl with your Cricut, you'll need some supplies. Cr... more » -
I spent a lot of time cutting vinyl during my days doing the Cricut demos. This is one of the items I made. I found the vase in the dollar spot at Target. It was one of the $2.50 items. *digression--why do they call it the dollar spot if not everything is a dollar? Don't get me started on Dollar General.* I used the Storybook cartridge. It is one of my all time favorites. I used the cherry blossom cut out using the fit to length feature (4"). I cut out two of them and placed t... more » -
