So much of my crafting inspiration comes directly from my travels. I've never travelled and *not* come home with fresh ideas that were a direct result of where I'd been. Whether it's unique craft supplies, skylines, or embracing a new culture, creativity and travel go hand in hand. This rainbow row houses tea towel embroidery is just one example of how I've brought our travels into our home. This post contains affiliate links. Supplies: tea towel (preferable in a neutral colour--these ... Read More

Disney Inspired DIY Shirts for St.Patrick’s Day
It's St. Patrick's Day this week (or Leprechaun's Day as my girls have taken to calling it!) and I was informed that they absolutely need to wear green or they'll get pinched. They also reminded me that I hadn't done anything for them last year, so the challenge was on! At times like these, I appreciate my Cricut even more because I can quickly put together fun new shirts for a gaggle of girls. These Disney Inspired DIY Shirts for St. Patrick's Day put a smile on all of our faces and I ... Read More
Rainbow Yarn Hanging
My girls love collecting things (Scott says they get it from me, but we all know that I don't have giant stashes of randomness everywhere in the house!) and Alice went through a phase of collecting sticks. She was particularly fond of a rather large stick and has been asking me for months to make something for her with it. It's been leaning against the wall in my bedroom for ages as I've tried to figure out what the heck to do with it. When 100 Directions' National Craft Month series kicked off ... Read More
Rustic Rainbow Jewelry Chest
This post contains sponsored content. I received paint from DecoArt to create my project. My girls absolutely love playing dress-up and I encourage it as much as possible. I started creating a space for them to keep their dress-up clothes, but it was missing a spot to keep their smaller pieces, like jewelry and tiaras (yes, four girls here!). During our recent decluttering spree, I found an old jewelry chest tucked away in one of our closets. I was going to get rid of it, but when I saw that ... Read More
Rainbow Painted Kitchen Set
We've been on an ongoing mission to make our house lighter, brighter, and more colorful. While we're doing that, we need to make sure it's kid-friendly. Our kitchen is dark and we're limited on what we can do with it right now (i.e. we can't replace the current black granite countertops at the moment), but during a wander at IKEA, the perfect kitchen table jumped out at us and we couldn't pass it up. With a bit of paint, our kitchen has become a much happier place. We weren't looking for ... Read More
Golden Rainbow Spring Wreath
It's May. Spring is official and we're having more nice days than not. We've pulled out our shorts and skirts and are embracing the warmth with everything we have. So, we'll just overlook the fact that I've had our winter wreath hanging on the front door well past the last of the snow melting. The girls informed me that we needed a new wreath for spring (you know it's bad when your kids are commenting your decorating!) and that they wanted something with a rainbow. After a little bit of digging ... Read More
