Don’t you love washi tape? I am sort of obsessed. If you don’t know, washi tape is a kind of Japanese paper that is similar to masking tape where it is removable from most surfaces. I’ve had this four-pack of Martha Stewart brand washi tape sitting in my craft room (slash home office) for quiteContinue reading “DIY Washi Tape Birthday Card”

DIY Jean Shorts
I tend to buy all of my Z’s clothes at the end of the season when they’re on clearance for the following season – like right now I’m shopping size 2T for next summer because everything is on super sale. That said, I found that I didn’t have many coordinating shorts for the random assortmentContinue reading “DIY Jean Shorts”
Father’s Day Bowtie Card
We were grocery shopping recently and stocking up on pasta. I was looking over all the shapes and in my head I thought “farfalle is so cute, little bowties!” My mind then immediately thought “bowties – man – father’s day – I should make a bowtie father’s day card!” Done, project idea created. And nowContinue reading “Father’s Day Bowtie Card”
PomPom Tank Top
I’ve had these adorable pompoms sitting in my home office/craft room since I found them at Anthropologie over the holidays. I couldn’t figure out what I wanted to do with them until recently…I decided I’d sew them on a little shirt for Z! That way, she will look so cute in a DIY top andContinue reading “PomPom Tank Top”
Flower Card
Late spring/early summer is such a busy time for celebrating: mother’s and father’s day, graduations, first communions, weddings, and for me – lots of people I know and love have birthdays this time of year! I made this lovely flower card for my mum for mother’s day but you could easily make it for anotherContinue reading “Flower Card”

I wanted to make a decorative piece for our small Cinco de Mayo gathering tomorrow night and I had about 12 minutes this week to make it. So, I thought of all those drink umbrella crafts I’ve seen on Pinterest over the past year or so and thought a bright Drink Umbrella Wreath would beContinue reading “DIY Drink Umbrella Wreath”
Quick DIY Flower Pin
I am a firm believer that accessories can make an outfit. When you want to look particularly “put together” you always add a special accessory or two, right? Well, we were taking some family photos over the weekend and our little Z’s outfit was missing something. I quickly realized she needed a special accessory toContinue reading “Quick DIY Flower Pin”
Easter Crafts
I thought I’d give you a quick recap of all my Easter craft series, but first some related exciting news! If you read this blog, you know by now that I am a big fan of Martha Stewart – her crafts, her recipes, etc… – I even subscribed to Martha Stewart Living when I wasContinue reading “Easter Crafts”
Easter Crafts – Colorblock Easter Eggs
Colorblock in neon AND glitter! These were so fun to make and fairly easy so you definitely have time to make these before this Sunday. You’ll need: eggs (I blew the eggs out, Martha has great directions on how to do so), egg dying kit (I bought the kind you find at the grocery store),Continue reading “Easter Crafts – Colorblock Easter Eggs”
Easter Craft – Polka Dot Easter Egg
Last year I started a new tradition of decorating a wooden Easter egg for our Z that we can hang every year. I made a purple egg with white polka dots and frankly, I didn’t love how it came out. Since we love polka dots in this house, I decided to re-do how to makeContinue reading “Easter Craft – Polka Dot Easter Egg”
