Spring is making itself known with sunny skies and warmer temperatures. The heavy coats have been packed away and lighter clothes are making their way out of the closet. With a change of season, I always feel the need to change up my purse along with my clothes. I didn't have anything that screamed spring to me, but I did have a zip pouch and pom pom trim and this Pom Pom Trim Spring Clutch is the happy result. This post first appeared on the Expo International blog. Supplies: plain ... Read More

Firefly River Tam Quote Banner and SVG
Self care has been on my mind a lot lately. If you follow me anywhere on social media or have read recent blog posts, you can probably tell that I've been struggling with our move in recent months. The initial excitement of being here is long gone. The full realization that we left a ginormous house with plenty of space (and a yard full of fruit trees!) to live in a poorly furnished super quirky and small rental flat faces me every day. I've had to basically start over with my blog, which is ... Read More
Spring Flower Wreath
I love being pushed to craft with new to me materials. I'll be honest with you--I've never been a big fan of burlap and have barely used it in my crafting and decorating. When it was announced that the supply for the Create with Cricut challenge in March was burlap, I cringed a little inside. But, once I figured out how to fit burlap into my style, I can see why people are drawn to it. The burlap gives a lovely extra layer of texture to my Spring Flower Wreath and I'm really happy with how it ... Read More
Witch Silhouette Hoop Art
It's time for another round of Craft Lightning and I'm so crazy excited that it's not only Halloween themed, but Cricut themed, too! My Cricut Maker took the long way to Edinburgh and arrived just in time for me to make my first project-- a fun Witch Silhouette Hoop Art. I have been so antsy to make sure I wasn't dreaming when I watched it cut felt at the Cricut Mountain Make-a-Thon and a silhouette with lots of detail seemed like a great way to test it out.

Pom Pom and Felt Name Banner
This post contains sponsored content. I've been working on updating Matilda's room to transition from a nursery to a little girl's room. It's sometimes hard to believe that our fourth and final daughter is three, but she's a proper toddler now and if I'm honest, I'm embracing the opportunity to redecorate her room a bit. It's full of pinks and blues and fun elements. Matilda's name is so special to us and I really wanted to display it in a way that fit her new room. Pom poms from Expo ... Read More
Teacher Appreciation Apple Wreath
Back to School!! Goodness, I love those words! And I don't just mean for my own ability to get back to work properly because the girls are in school (although I am really looking forward to it!). I always loved school and my girls do, too. This year, I will have a third grader, second grader, and a kindergartener. They have been antsy to get back to school for weeks now. I asked Alice recently if she was ready for kindergarten and her response was "Of course I'm ready. Mum! I've been waiting for ... Read More
