I have a confession to make: I almost never finish a cup of coffee. I drink some at breakfast, usually make a to-go cup to take when I take the girl to school, drink a little in the car, sometimes have a little while I’m doing chores or other morning things, but then I have […]
Twine-Wrapped Pot for the Garden {Craft Challenge, Day 134}
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. […]

In the pictures it’s holding fruit but in reality it […]
Make a Washer Necklace {Craft Challenge, Day 13}
This week’s craft challenges are inspired by some materials I bought at the home improvement store probably more than two years ago, if I’m being honest.
