Crafting With Friends!

August 17
2 Comments

Crafting with friends is one of my favorite things to do! Not only is it a chance to get creative but to catch up with my pals!  Late summer is such a great season to craft with natural items right from the backyard.  Pine cones, leaves, and acorns are plentiful this time of year making it easy to come up with endless supplies, making it an affordable activity too! I’m excited to share some easy ideas for hosting a tiny craft party for friends or for your kiddos too!  It’s really fun to see each person put their own creativity to work.  So gather together and make something pretty with the help of Mother Nature!

“bee” happy and craft with friends..

DIY Art…Recycled Calendar!

April 23
4 Comments

DIY art projects are very popular these days especially during stay-at-home orders.  If you’re like me, I’m searching for ways to keep home life as normal as possible and that includes decorating my spaces.  And while online shopping is available, crafting is a great way to save money AND fill the hours!  I’ve been inspired by some of my social media friends who have framed old calendars to create beautiful wall art.  Fortunately I happened to save a lovely 2019 calendar that I had received as a gift from a girlfriend!  So I decided to give it a second life!   Let me share with you how simple this craft can be, and if you don’t have a calendar on hand, try kid artwork, pages from a favorite book, or even scraps of fabric or pretty craft paper!  Let’s get crafting so we can keep busy and create!

DIY art…good for the soul!

DIY Denim & Wood Utensil Box

September 6
16 Comments

A fun utensil box can be a really helpful party decoration when you’re entertaining buffet style!  It looks cute and serves such a functional purpose by containing all the paper products and silverware so your guests can easily serve themselves!  And if you’re serving up some goodies outdoors, it can also keep the breezes from making a mess of the napkins or other lightweight tableware!  Today I’m really excited to share with you the simplest DIY to make one yourself…and if you have an old pair of jeans lying around you’ve got half of what you need!  I had access to plenty of raggedy old jeans when my oldest came home from college over the summer…a pair that was practically threadbare was just right for some recycling!  Let’s get crafting so we can enjoy plenty of fall entertaining!

I Spy November DIY

November 2
No comments yet

Happy November everyone!  Can you even believe that October and all the trick-or-treat festivities are already behind us!?  This is the time of year where I love to enjoy the calm before the whirlwind of Christmas celebrations!  It can actually be difficult to not get ahead of myself and miss the wonderful joys that this month brings…like gatherings, feasts, and spending time with family!  Today I’d like to share some DIY projects that I have planned for the month…and not just for the Thanksgiving table!  I’m actually just showing a sneak peek…because quite honestly I didn’t have the time to complete anything I started!  That silly little thing called Halloween just got in the way!  But take a look anyway, and see if you can guess what the outcomes will be!  I promise I’ll share them all in their entirety throughout the month…and hopefully spark plenty of inspiration along the way!
