2 Handmade Girls + a video

I love podcasts! I am a huge fan. Especially video ones. It is so cool to “meet” people from around the country who have similar interests and to catch a glimpse of the way other people live. I tend to have my favorites that I watch while I knit, while I do dishes, computer work…I […]

DIY Dryer Balls

Do you use dryer balls? Have you heard of them? If you haven’t here’s the gist in a nutshell…dryer balls are balls that you put in your dryer with your clothes to help reduce dry time (since they increase air circulation) and reduce static electricity.

Devin’s Coasters

Every time I go over to visit Emily, I see these darling coasters sitting on her coffee table. They were made by a mutual-very-talented-new-mama friend of ours, Devin.

It’s birthday weekend!

DIY Chalkboard Paint

I am in love with my new chalkboard wall!  I feel a little behind on this one, but chalkboards are classic, right? I saw Emily’s AWESOME one, and knew that I wanted one in my kitchen.  I had to do a little convincing of my husband, but when I said that I could do it […]

Basic hand printing techniques! :)

I LOVE the idea of always having home made art on my walls. I mean, something hand made that was done out of inspiration from somebody I know (or admire)! :) AND hand printing is one of my MOST FAVORITE ways to make home made art myself for either my own walls or as a […]

Crochet Buckets

I am first a knitter.  I have always wanted to crochet.  For some reason crochet just didn’t click with my brain for the longest time.  And then I got it!  I can’t tell you what it was…the time was just right.  Or, 3x the charm…  All that to say, don’t give up on crochet! It […]
