How to Make a Jumbo Yarn Tassel
We are full into unpacking mode and are at that point where we can see how things will be and it's awesome, but we still need pieces of furniture and there are things to do that will take some time. There are boxes everywhere, but corners are starting to get cleared and I'm able to start playing around with little touches. It's properly chilly here now and if you know me, you know I have a thing for blankets. I wanted to make sure that a blanket or four is always within reach so rounded up some ... Read More

Get Back into the Crafting Groove with Decoupage
I haven't spoken much about the emotional side of two international moves in two years. It sounds amazing, but the reality is that these moves have taken a lot out of me. Before we left the States, my blog was doing really well. I was working with brands and people I loved, I was getting regular job offers, and, dare I say it, was earning actual money. I packed up my craft room knowing that I would see my supplies again in a few months and had the reassurances that nothing would change. Life ... Read More
