A Horse Pillow

My niece is a horse lover {you may remember when I made her this shirt}. I’ve been at a complete loss about what to get her for Christmas and decided to go the homemade gift route. I made her a horse pillow for her room {which is why the horse is blue}. I made the […]

The Thanksgiving Table {2012}

One of my favorite parts of Thanksgiving is getting the tables ready. The Thanksgiving table is ready for the older crowd {minus the requisite olives and cranberries that will fill the empty bowls} and tomorrow I’ll share the kids’ table. This year I have a set of brown transferware {hooray!} and I’m so excited about […]

Sharing the Joy Gift Basket #WorldMarket_Joy

I love Christmas! It can be such a fun time of year, filled with parties and shopping and goodies. It can also be a time of year when it’s really easy to think about all that we’d like to have. I’ve tried very hard to reverse that idea in my kids’ lives {our 24 Days […]

How to Make a Duct Tape Watch Band

Luke has a neat Lego watch but the strap is constantly falling apart or falling off his wrist so we decided to replace it with a colorful duct tape watch band. I used this colorful graffiti-style Duck Brand Duck Tape because I thought it would coordinate well with the watch face. I started with this […]

Ruffled Lace Turkey Shirt for Thanksgiving

Yesterday I whipped up a couple of versions of this ruffled lace turkey shirt for my little girls to wear on Thanksgiving Day. I was inspired by this adorable turkey tea towel idea but decided to make the little turkeys on shirts instead of towels so the girls would have some cute Thanksgiving attire for turkey day. […]

A DIY Lamp #GELighting

{As part of my partnership with GE, I received coupons for my GE light bulbs. All opinions posted about my GE Lighting experience are my own.} The lamp in my oldest daughter’s room is really old and hasn’t been working properly. I decided a DIY lamp would be a fun project for her room and […]

Three Musketeers Bundt Cake

Yesterday was Eli’s fifteenth birthday. I really can’t believe he’s fifteen. It makes me cringe a bit because I feel like my time left with him in the house is running so short … and I really can’t stand the thought of him leaving. He’s one of the most amazing young men I’ve ever met. […]

A Thanksgiving Banner {Martha Stewart Crafts Circle Edge Punch}

I recently had the chance to review a great new product and it’s fantastic! I expected to like the product {after all, I’m a huge Martha Stewart fan} but I loved it! The design and engineering of this new tool is brilliant. And look at the cute Thanksgiving banner I made! Martha Stewart Crafts has […]

Morning Coffee #DeliciousPairings

Since my parents moved to Texas {and right into our neighborhood}, Tate and I have a fun morning tradition. Most days, after we drop the kids at school, we head to my parents’ house for morning coffee. We all love this tradition of starting our day together. This week I decided to bring a little […]

A Spa Party with #NIVEAmoments

You know I love hosting parties and I love a theme to work with. This week I had the chance to host a spa party for my friends! It was a great way to pamper my friends a bit before the rush of the holiday season begins. We’re all busy moms and sometimes it’s really […]

A Torn Vintage Lampshade

If you saw my McKinney post a couple of weeks ago about my trip to adventure days, you saw the torn vintage lampshade that I loved. We saw a number of them that day and I added it to my project list, knowing it would make great decor for my home. There was something I […]

A Christmas Table Runner {in Burlap}

Remember the seamed burlap tablecloth I made a few weeks ago? Well, I just made a burlap table runner for my Christmas table. {And photographed it without ironing anything … just a glimpse of real life.} This table runner is so simple! It’s made from a length of burlap {twelve inches wide} and four pieces […]
