Bright and Fluffy Yarn Weaving

Bright and Fluffy Yarn Weaving

You know that I can never pass up an opportunity to stretch my creative legs, so when my friend Tina announced a new weaving collaboration, I was instantly in. I had started one project, but couldn't get it quite right. I came home from Snap inspired and with a suitcase full of crafting supplies that were screaming to be used. As you know, I've been slowly working on transitioning Matilda's room from a nursery to a little girl's room, and I'm making bits and pieces here and there. When I saw the ... Read More

Valentine’s Day Shadowbox

Valentine's Day Shadowbox

I wanted to make a project that would work for Valentine's Day, but that I could leave out longer to cheer up a dreary winter. My girls love hearts, so I knew that they wouldn't object! This Valentine's Day Shadowbox fits the bill perfectly. It's all about being positive, and I love having that out for everyone to see. I used: IKEA Ribba frame Hazel & Ruby Pass the Tissue, Quote Collage Hazel & Ruby Stencil-Mask, Child's Play decopage scrabble tiles Metallic Lustre ... Read More

Mixed Media Travel Board Book

Mixed Media Travel Board Book

I have always been fascinated by mixed media and have wished that I had a knack for it. I've been getting braver this year and have been trying my hand at more mixed media projects. I had originally thought to make this Mixed Media Travel Board Book for a swap because I thought it would be a quicker project than my usual cross stitching, but as it turned out, I probably spent double the time on it (and loved every second!). This won't be my usual "how-to" style post because I'm just not sure ... Read More

Halloween Tombstone Decorations

Halloween Tombstone Decorations

I went all out for Halloween this year. Wandering craft stores and raiding my stash gave me far more inspiration than I had time for, but I ended up with a lot of fun pieces that I'll use for years to come. My Halloween Tombstone Decorations didn't take long to make and are a perfect addition to a display that needs a little something more. This post first appeared on Hazel & Ruby's blog. I used a pack of paper mache tombstones that I found at JoAnn's and DIY Decor Tape in Multicolor ... Read More

Mixed Media Haunted House

Mixed Media Haunted House

I love a good haunted house and have visions of creating an entire village of them for Halloween (or, let's be honest--I'd keep them up year-round!). When I saw Hazel & Ruby's Halloween DIY Decor Tapes, I knew that they'd be perfect for a Mixed Media Haunted House. This post first appeared on Hazel & Ruby's blog. I found a paper mache house from Darice and used DIY Decor Tape in Spider Webs, Multicolor Stripes, and Multicolor Dots. I painted a quick coat of black on the ... Read More

Firefly Frame

Firefly Frame

I've had a lot of fun playing around with paints and mixed media lately (in case you haven't noticed!), and I've been using it in a lot of my recent swap gifts. I wanted to make something with a frame for a fellow Firefly fan, and played around until I created this fairly simple Firefly Frame. I used a frame I had in my stash, paints, black vinyl, and my Cricut Explore. I started by painting the frame green. I then sprayed both the frame and the cardboard insert with Glimmer ... Read More

Welcome

I've wanted to be an archaeologist, in theatre, a judge, and to run a museum. While I try to decide what I want to be when I grow up, I spend my time crafting and exploring the world.
