I love a cup of tea in the evening. I've taken to snuggling in with tea and my crochet and stitching attempts once the girls are in bed and my chores are finished. It's such a relaxing way to end the day! I didn't have any coasters to use, though--I mean, I have coasters, but nothing that was easy to store in my bedside table (because I'm also super lazy), so I found some canvas blanks and cheerful Liberty of London fabric in my stash and put together these fun and easy Fabric Teacup Coasters. ...

Charlie Brown Christmas Tree Hoop Art
Once December hits, Christmas movies are played on repeat in our house. All Christmas, all the time. A Charlie Brown Christmas makes the rotation on a (very) regular basis. The plot of searching for the meaning of Christmas is still relevant today and who can forget that Christmas tree?? The movie is a Christmas classic and I wanted to make something special for it. My Charlie Brown Christmas Tree Hoop Art is a fun piece to stitch up and you don't need any crazy embroidery skills. This post ... Read More
Clove Pumpkin and Leaf Pouches
I always get excited when fall rolls around because cinnamon and clove are my two favorite scents. Fall makes it acceptable to fill the house with their smell and I keep it going throughout winter. I can't get enough! It's so easy to get cinnamon scented pinecones, so I decided to add in the clove scent I love with these Clove Pumpkin and Leaf Pouches! This post contains affiliate links.

No Sew Necktie Hoop Art
When I was working on a Father's Day project for Craft Lightning this month, I actually couldn't decide what to post. I ended up making two fifteen minute crafts and while I can only share one as my "official" Craft Lightning post, I'm going to share my No Sew Necktie Hoop Art, too. I decided not to use this one as my main post because Scott isn't a necktie wearer. I have only seen him in one a handful of times during our entire time together. Neckties seem to go hand in hand with Father's Day, ... Read More
Best Dad Picture Frame
Craft Lightning is back and this month we're making Father's Day crafts! To be honest, when I first saw the theme, I was wondering what on earth I could make. Scott and I aren't overly sappy people when it comes to these days. As I was rummaging through my craft room for ideas, I got to thinking about all of the things he's done for us and immediately got hugely sappy, much to my chagrin. I don't talk about it much, but my pregnancies have all been high risk and three out of four of the girls ... Read More
Star Wars Hoop Art
He won't admit it, but I think I needed to pass a Star Wars test before Scott and I got married. I've always loved Star Wars, but my love pales in comparison to Scott's. He's spent many years looking forward to the day when the girls would latch onto the movies. This past year, they finally did. The Force Awakens helped a lot and Rey is such a fantastic character for them to grow up with. It has become quite common to walk into the living room and discover them watching one of the movies ...
