Ikea Hack! (sorta) Upholstered headboard on the DALSELV bed frame

When Dave and I bought this house about two and a half years ago, we were surprised when our bed didn’t fit into our 3rd floor bedroom. Being new homeowners and thusly, broke as all get out, I went to Ikea and purchased the cheapest bed I could find, thinking that we could take the [...]

Birds! Birds! All kinds of birds!

(OK, we totally just watched James Franco on the Tizzle Wizzle Show again. Jammies, pills, & knives!) Winter always makes me long for the outdoors and this year we’re all about the birds. We were inspired by this DIY version of a much more expensive lamp from Anthropologie as well as a cute mobile of [...]

Make a Terrarium: Tuesday night crafty

This evening Fi and I put together a terrarium for our poor, homeless gnome. He’s sheltered by a money tree and flanked with angel plants and live moss we culled from the front yard. We sprinkled some Assyllum seeds in the background, so hopefully we’ll have a little flowered fairy setting when they come in. [...]

First try at quilting

My job is tech-heavy. My home is tech-savvy. I feel like I’m wired in 24 hours a day, so my next project is intentionally as low-fi as possible. I’m giving quilting a try to see if I enjoy it, hoping it’ll be a quiet and peaceful activity instead of frustrating and difficult. Right now it [...]

Will, Dave, the flea, and me.

Will, Dave, and I loaded up and headed out to an area flea market this morning. I’ve been nursing a bug to not just sell new stuff in my shop, but to find cool vintage stuff to re-purpose and craft into some new little thing. Today my laser beam focus was on silver plate. I [...]

Blog Love: Chalk cloth table topper project

Oh, I was on a roll! Until some vicious bug took me down over the weekend. I’ve abandoned my sweet little blog for vats of Pepto and quality time on the daybed. Ugh. So I’m totally pulling a cheater cheater pumpkin eater blog post by sharing this bit of brilliance spotted over at Oilcloth Addict [...]
