Add a fancy little bow tie to any ensemble with only a thick elastic headband from the dollar store and a plain necklace chain! No sewing or gluing required for this craft. Promise :)
I just love simple and inexpensive accessories that are multifunctional. WINNING!
Cupid’s crafty arrow struck us all they way back in December and we haven’t been able to shake that sadistic little angel since. Sure we could have fought him off with our Hallmark holiday cynicism but alas we are weak love lorn creatives that would rather make art not war. I think we managed to [...]
Cliff got a little squeamish when I mentioned that we should craft up boy and girl valentines to hand out to our friends at CHA (Craft and Hobby Trade show) this year. I’m sure he was hoping this whole idea would slip through the cracks but unfortunately for him it didn’t…. This crafty girl doesn’t [...]

Jewelry boxes shaped with a modern chevron pattern design = Andrea’s dream alternative holiday advent calendar. Easy to create = my dream advent calendar craft! As cool as this chevron (or herringbone) countdown calendar is I must warn you that some “people” might assume that jewelry boxes are a sure sign of 24 days of [...]

Before I dive into our last minute DIY paint chip costume shenanigans let me first say that it’s Mr. Currie’s Birthday today! It seems that he gets more handsome with age. He even makes a cuter paint chip than me! Not fair….
If you’ve been following the blog you’re probably not surprised that our [...]
Some might think it looks like a science project gone wrong but I really enjoy wearing this fuzzy pom pom headband. It doesn’t take much to make it and while at the office I’ve received a bunch of compliments. I’m not going to lie though because in public I have been given a few strange [...]
