death of a succulent
I should have known it wouldn't last. I killed a succulent. Aren't they supposed to be hearty little plants? The cute succulent garden I had growing in in the living room is no longer a lively addition to our space.Instead, I'm faced with this pathetic sight. Rest in peace little plant. I'm sorry I failed you.I still think my track record is improving. Two out of three isn't so bad! They lasted about four months too. That has to be some sort of milestone...at least for me.I may get "the look" … [Read more...]
shine on you crazy diamond – vinyl stencil art
This year, while I decided to forgo actual New Year resolutions, I did give myself some Pinterest resolutions I wanted to follow through on. I tackled my first one in January by making freezer paper stencils for a baby gift. Since those were successful, I am officially hooked on playing with my Silhouette. Next up was using the Silhouette to cut vinyl. For my first few attempts with vinyl, I wanted to try it out on canvas to make stencil artwork. This is my Pink Floyd inspired piece. Shine On … [Read more...]
valentine’s Day white fabric wreath
Hope you all had a lovely weekend! We've been pretty darn lazy these past two weekends. Not productive at all but to be honest, we needed the rest. I shared this wreath over at How to Nest for Less last month but since Valentine's Day (and my birthday!) is right around the corner, I wanted to share it here too. I made the white fabric wreath with the intention of making it simple enough that I could repurpose it for different holidays. Here is what it looks like now, all ready for Valentine's … [Read more...]
photo-a-day challenge – february
I love browsing the photos on Instagram, and recently joined at the urging of my cousin. Getting to see a little snapshot of someone's life is a great little distraction during the day. The House of Smiths just posted they are joining the Photo-a-day Challenge hosted by Fat Mum Slim so I meandered on over to see what it was all about. The concept is simple. Fat Mum Slim provides an inspiration theme for the day's photo. You take the photo with your free Instagram app on your smart phone, and … [Read more...]

crafting with pets
Do you know those days when you come home from work and you just need to completely disconnect? I'm sure if you are a parent, you might have that feeling after putting the kids to bed some days? Whatever the case, last night was one of those nights. I just need to get myself all wrapped up in some crafts and forget about the day...or week or month. The mutts (the collective name of all 5 of our creatures) had a different idea.Trying to work on my desk gets me this "Touch those canvas things … [Read more...]
sprinkle cake – a pinterest baking semi-success
My bestie, Shannon, ran her first half marathon yesterday. She made it and kept an amazing pace the entire time. While going through her training the past few months she kept saying she wanted a chocolate cake, so I promised her one she could indulge in after she got home from the race. I was on Pinterest the other day (really, do I even need to mention that? I'm on it all day, every day) and saw this adorable sprinkle cake. Sprinkles seemed like an amazing addition to the chocolate goodness I … [Read more...]
