Keeping up with the spirit of spring, let me show you my colorful paper wreath. I don’t have step by step pictures of it, but here is my inspiration from the Martha Stewart website. I had pinned this last fall, but decided to make a multi-colored version instead. I recycled a cardboard box for the wreath base…
Weekend Fun and Dyed Easter Eggs
Boy and I spent the most amazing day the past weekend. Well, every day is amazing with my little Boy. Still… you get the idea right? We did something super creative and super fun together! And the best part was that the little fellow was excited and involved throughout! What did we do? Well, we…
Easter Egg Tree
After I added a few touches of spring to our side table, I decided to make an Easter egg tree. I love using branches and natural elements in decor. I’ve used branches in my Christmas decor (before my blogging days, so no pics), winter vignette and jewelry holder. To create this look, I used a clear glass…
DIY Bottle Bunnies
After my attempt at the fabric bunnies, I decided to make covered bottle bunnies. And let me tell you, they turned out way cuter. I usually attempt DIY crafts that are easy (no surprise there!) and would appeal to my little Boy. This one fits the bill perfectly. You will need: Empty bottles with narrow…
No Sew Fabric Bunnies…Or Not!
I debated long and hard whether to post this. You will see shortly why so. You see, I had this brainwave to create no sew stuffed fabric bunnies. Just like the fabric pumpkins that pop up around blog-land in the fall. I had made some too. Back to the bunnies. I had it all envisioned…
Little Touches of Spring
Have you gone shopping lately? There is an avalanche of spring decor on sale everywhere. And eggs…in all imaginable colors and designs. They are Boy’s favorite this time of year. And of course, he wanted them this year too. I found these pretty eggs at the dollar store, of all places! I just can’t seem…
DIY Jewelry Holder
I love accessories especially earrings and bangles/bracelets. I have a modest collection of earrings and bracelets. I was storing them in generic plastic boxes in my dresser and always ended up wearing the same couple of pieces every time. Out of sight, out of mind, right? So I searched around for a pretty jewelry holder….
My Spring Cleaning Schedule, Sort Of!
Here in south-central Texas, spring is definitely on it’s way. Though the nights are chilly, the days are getting warmer. I see little green leaves starting to sprout on some trees. The weather was making me so preppy, I made a spring to-do list the past weekend. I plan to get things done slowly, but…
Happy Valentine’s Day
Let love light up your life! Have a beautiful day!!
A Valentine Heart
It is Valentine’s Day tomorrow. A day filled with love and hearts and chocolates and what not. Don’t get me wrong, I love Valentine’s Day. But I feel it is too commercialized a celebration. Anyhow, while I don’t put up red hearts and balloons all around the house, I wanted to do something fun for Boy. He…

You will need: Glass bottles/Jars White glue (like Elmer’s) or Mod Podge Food coloring Lots of paper towels/rags How to: Clean the glass bottles thoroughly and remove labels and any sticky residue. Just soak them in hot…
Winter Wonderland Vignette
I am obsessed about snow and winter. Maybe because we don’t see snow in San Antonio. That didn’t stop me from creating a small white Christmas village for Boy. He loved it and contributed his own toy people and trucks to the project. After Christmas, I still wanted a little vignette for the table. And…
