Projects Made Simple: Jayden’s Chalkboard Wall

July 25, 2012 in Arts & Crafts - 6 Comments

As of late, I haven't been too thrilled about home improvement projects, but I committed to one last project while I was still giddy. The reason for my lack of enthusiasm is that we are planning to move in the next few months, so all my purdying up will soon be undone... and I'm gonna… Read More »

Fabric Bookcase Backing Makeover

June 24, 2012 in Arts & Crafts - 2 Comments

We just bought a bookcase for the playroom designated for toys and learning supplies. Although not necessary, I wanted to spruce it up a little to add some contrast between the shelves and the backing. I decided to decorate the back of the bookcase with some fabric for an instant makeover. It turned out pretty… Read More »

Painting The Living And Play Rooms

May 20, 2012 in DIY, Homemaking - 14 Comments

As you all can probably tell, I am really into DIY projects. There's so many projects around the house I've been itching to tackle, painting being one of them. White walls are depressing and suck the life out of me, so I HAVE to paint walls to create happy zones. I had the opportunity to… Read More »

Water Bottle & Sock Bubble Blower Craft

April 22, 2012 in Arts & Crafts, Kids - 5 Comments

Today, I decided to do a spin on a bubble blower craft you've probably seen around. Instead of cutting a portion of a sock and attaching it to the bottom of the water bottle with a large rubber band (which I didn't have), I just used the entire sock and secured it with pipe cleaners,… Read More »

Kid Craft: Mini Wooden Easter Basket Planters

April 1, 2012 in Arts & Crafts, Gardening - No Comments

There's something about Spring that puts me in the mood to craft. I'd like to do more crafts with Jayden, but I am totally against creating things that will eventually end up in the garbage. You know how it is, so many crafts, so little house. So when Walmart asked me to make mini wooden… Read More »

Mod Podge Chevron Frames for Valentine’s Day

February 9, 2012 in Arts & Crafts, Valentine's Day - 8 Comments

Photo taken 12/4/11 during a date night at FunFusion in NY. I recently picked up my very first bottle of Mod Podge and I am hooked. For my very first project I decided to attempt to decorate some frames for Valentine's Day. I honestly had no idea what I was doing, but I love how… Read More »

This is the way we paint inside.

August 31, 2011 in Arts & Crafts, Kids - 10 Comments

Our days have been filled with painting lately. Outside, inside, and even the tub! Since painting is such a fun activity to do, but can be messy, we try to limit it to outside. But when I decided to paint one of the walls in Jayden’s room one evening, I had to improvise. I let… Read More »

A New Hobby

March 15, 2011 in Arts & Crafts, Life & Quirks - 11 Comments

The day before, Michelle and I spent the day painting. It was so much fun! When it comes to digital artwork, I can do some things. But physical? Eh, it makes me nervous. There is no luxury of deleting or precise erasing... thank you Photoshop. Whatever you stroke on that canvas is what you are… Read More »

Family Silhouette Ornaments On A Whim

October 6, 2010 in Arts & Crafts

And the winners are: Some Lucky Dog, Megan R, and talisha sturms! Congrats! Some of you may think that I'm pretty creative when it comes to my digital works, but when it comes to the physical art of crafting, I am pretty impaired. I'm pretty familiar with paper, popcicle sticks, beads, color pencils, and the… Read More »
