Last weekend husband bought some mint plants, and they’ve been languishing indoors every since. It was on my agenda to pot them for the past couple of days (you know you can’t plant mint in the ground, right?), but I couldn’t just put them in a pot. I had to make the pot cuter first. […]
DIY Ribbon Organizer {Craft Challenge, Day 133}
This is a project that I’ve been wanting to make for a long time, and I’m so excited to finally get to share this DIY ribbon organizer with you. I think it was one of those things where I was sure it was going to be hard for some reason but it’s not at all. […]

Paint the Sky {Craft Challenge, Day 129}
We’ve been having some really great skies lately. Layers of blue upon blue, a bright cobalt in the highest reaches gradually lightening through layers stratified by clouds until the bottom is almost completely white with just a tinge of blue. It’s hard to capture in photography, so I decided to paint the sky. Or at […]
