This week’s Iron Craft challenge was in honor of Diwali, otherwise known as the Festival of Lights. And who wouldn’t want to celebrate light right now, at the time when we’re being reminded how precious light and warmth are? I knew I wanted to do something involving a candle, but I didn’t actually want to […]
Upcycled Coffee Cup Cozy {Iron Craft Challenge}
The Iron Craft theme for this week had something to do with beverages. I actually had an idea right away of what I wanted to do, and I actually got it done a whole day before the challenge was due, which is pretty remarkable for me. I knew I wanted to do a coffee cup […]

This challenge actually lined up perfectly with something I was already planning to make, which was some pillows for our backyard. I’d been thinking about getting some outdoor fabric, or using a plastic tablecloth or something, […]
