Mother’s Day Subway Art

  I got to participate in the Plaid , Martha Stewart Mother’s Day campaign.  They sent me all this good stuff…and I got to make a gift for my Momma!   I decided I wanted to make Subway art all with all my mom’s grandkid’s names. The first thing I did was cut a large...

Decorative Chalkboard Craft

I’m participating in the Scribble Shop Crafter’s Challenge.  They sent me and a group of other crafty bloggers a box of supplies and we were challenged to try to use as many of them as we could in ONE craft.  I used ALMOST all of them. Scribble Shop is an online store with just about any...

Christmas Mantel

I took a minute out of my drawer building madness to hang something on the wall above the fireplace.  I tried a few different shapes but circles and rectangles got in the way of the antlers on that tattered iron deer.  I found this star (that I bought years ago for my IL basement and never hung) out in the...

Halloween Mantle

I can’t believe it’s almost Halloween.  I have to admit that decorating this year wasn’t high on my priority list.  Having just moved, the idea of unpacking all the decorations just to pack them back up in a few weeks didn’t thrill me. But my 12 year old LOVES Halloween so we dug...

Washable, Insulated Lunch Tote

Ruby of Zaaberry is here to share this tutorial for an insulated lunch tote! I have to admit, I’m kind of scared of putting in zippers!  I am!  So I will probably use velcro.  I’ll it the wimpy version and be proud of it!  For those of you that don’t have zipperphobia, you go for it...

FOLD AWAY PICNIC BASKET

Introducing…Holly, of 504 Main and her amazing Fold Away Picnic Basket! Holly has been working on this project for a while.  It’s involved–and it really is amazing!  I’m not usually one to read instructions.  I’m more of a picture person, but I’m reading word for word...

“Play and Store” Toy Mat

When I was little, I hated picking up toys when I was done playing.  I thought it was such a waste of time!  Picking up 1000 little legos,  mini doll furniture, etc.   Total waste of time!  So my mom made a big mat with metal rings on the corners so when we were done playing, we’d just pick up...
