Glow-in-the-Dark Crafty

IF you’re stuck inside on a rainy day and looking for something to do . . . I recommend using Martha Stewart’s glow-in-the-dark paint to make your own artsy glowing jars! These were fun, and pretty simple! I especially liked the ghostly jars! I think it would be fun to do a few for theContinue reading “Glow-in-the-Dark Crafty”

Some Lace Love

It all began with a frame. Just a simple frame. I liked the shape. It fit the naked wall I happened to have at my disposal . . . and so this project began. Now I just had to figure out what the heck I would put inside it. I took the shabby piece ofContinue reading “Some Lace Love”

Pamper the Hamper: Some DIY TLC

I bought an old hamper, because I thought it might fit in just the right spot in my apartment – which it does! It’s made of metal, and I think the design is cute . . . plus, for $5?

Rockin’ the Garden

I am a novice gardener . . . you know, the kind that still freaks out when there are spiders in the dirt and has to repeatedly call her Dad to ask if it is finally time to plant the cucumber seeds.
