time for fall – grapevine wreath

November 4, 2011 3 Comments

I tried to not waste any time going from Halloween to "Fall" decor. South Florida really has no Fall but I should probably retire the bat wreath for a something a bit more in line with Thanksgiving. When I was wandering around Micheal's right before Halloween they were having a super sale and I had a great coupon to go along with it. I bought these three mini grapevine wreaths and fake flower/seed things for under $4. Score!So I didn't find a huge wreath but that doesn't mean it can't look good … [Read more...]

my next victims – succulent garden

October 24, 2011 13 Comments

I bought these little glass hanging planters/candle holders when we first bought the house and they've been sitting in storage since. On my last trip to Home Depot I picked up this assortment of succulents determined to put the glass holders to use. As I was walking towards the hubby in the store, plants in hand and all excited for what I was going to do with them, he says "You are going to kill more plants?" He has no faith in my ability to keep a plant alive. Thanks, babe. I know I do not have … [Read more...]

the making of a craft room – hollow door desk

October 18, 2011 3 Comments

After I revealed my craft room a few weeks ago, I had a lot of questions on the furniture and organization. I'm going to share a few of the things I did to help anyone looking to make their own space. We did the room on the cheap. IKEA and Home Depot were my friends during the process. Customizing a room or space for your office or craft room does not need to be expensive.  When I first started the room my desk was much shorter and there was a lot of unused space in the room. I love a lot of … [Read more...]

this is halloween – bat wreath

October 7, 2011 9 Comments

Now that is is finally October, I can start decorating the outside of the house without the neighbors thinking I'm crazy. I didn't have any front door decor in my stash of Halloween decorations from the old house so I decided to make a wreath.This was a fun and easy wreath to make. A simple yarn base, some bats and a Trick or Treat mini banner along the inside.I simply wrapped the black yarn tightly around the entire wreath form. After I was done I went back and wrapped a gray piece of yarn … [Read more...]

lazy mutt bed – tin bucket dog bed tutorial

October 5, 2011 4 Comments

I ended up buying a large white beverage tin with the intention of making something for the creatures. I really, really, really wanted to make this kitty play area for Annie based on this post from Gardners 2 Bergers but then we adopted Lemur. Crazy kitten + grass + dirt would not equal a good combination in our house. Condo Cat Backyard - From Gardners 2 BergerSo sad because it really is a cute idea for indoor kitties. The tin has just been taking up space in my family room all summer only … [Read more...]

pet crafts – pet toy organization

September 28, 2011 1 Comment

This is nothing fancy but I figured I would share what works for us for all those cohabiting with furry creatures. Living with multiple animals equals an assortment of toys and pet stuff in general. While I love my babies, there are certain things of theirs I am not a fan of. Clutter in general is not my thing so their toys have been known to drive me crazy. What is the best way to keep the pet toys in order? Cute storage containers is what works for me. The cats have a little greek key paper … [Read more...]
