For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
You all may remember that children’s easel I picked up from the curb on our recent walk. The people had set it out for heavy trash! Crazy to me because it was in such great condition! One side of the easel was a blue chalkboard in decent condition. Though there are a few marker strokes [...]
Like I said in my 2012 goals, I’m making more of an attempt to memorize Scripture! To make it easier for me to succeed, I’m trying to surround myself with easy opportunities to see and read verses each day. I created this key ring {really a binder ring, I guess} of verses using scrapbook paper [...]
Christmas is over, and I can’t bear the thought of throwing all of our pretty Christmas cards away. So I turned them into place mats yet again! This way we can look at our sweet friends’ faces all year long! Here’s how: I made my place mat bases a little bigger by sticking two pieces [...]
I’ve been pinning lots of great paintings on Pinterest, and I’ve been inspired to paint my own! Lettering and all! I know many people are intimidating to paint words or letters, but you need not be! These signs are not nearly as difficult to make as they appear to be. Here’s a tutorial to prove [...]
I was handed down this cashmere sweater. And soon after I tried it on I figured it out why. The fit is awkward. But it had a cute print, and it was super soft and cuddly. So I stashed it away in my sewing pile. Thrifty tip: Almost all of my sewing pile is clothing. [...]

Much less chemicals than store-bought soap. Here’s to that! Ingredients: 270 g. lye 700 ml. purified water 4 1/2 c. [...]
If you are one of Lilleigh’s grandparents, skip this post… For everyone else – Lil and I had a craft day the other day. We made gifts for grandparents! {That is a major perk of having a child – easy gift giving for grandparents! Frame a photo, make some artwork. Heartfelt. Inexpensive. A work of [...]
When my husband and I got married, we were recent college grads and had very few Christmas decorations of our own. Basically our decor consisted of ornaments my parents had given me each year since I was born and hand-me-downs, which I love by the way. Christmas decorations aren’t cheap! And when I say we [...]
Remember that mommy-tank-to-Christmas-dress I posted earlier this week? Just as promised, I took photos of Lilleigh wearing it. And surprisingly, it looks cute!! It looks home-sewn, but that’s the fun of it! It’s also the reason you don’t get close ups! I used this classic Christmas tree photo tutorial to get these photos, but I [...]
