If you have been reading my previous posts (hopefully!), two things might be clear to you by now. I am impatient and I love anything that says ‘easy’! Still, I have had this deep urge to undertake a painting project. Like a small chair or stool or at least a flower-pot! Guess what? After weeks…
Boy Birthday Party Decorations
While looking through some old photos, I came across Boy’s third birthday photos. His birthday was way back in September (long before I started this blog!), but I thought I might share some of the birthday decor DIYs. I did not want a fully themed, all matchy-matchy birthday party. I just want kids’ parties to…
Easy Kids Artwork Display Wall
Ever since Boy started pre-school, he has been bringing home a load of artwork each week. Even otherwise, the kid loves to paint! I was looking for a cute way to display some of his artwork, instead of just sticking them up on the wall. We needed a designated space, else I knew the whole…
Colorful Spring Paper Wreath
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…

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…
Signs Of Spring In My Garden
Like I said earlier, winter is kind of mild down here in Texas. Still, the trees shed their leaves and remain barren from November till…now! Look what I found just outside our home today! Baby leaves!! And some snippets from our small patio garden. Sweet potato plant in the evening sunlight. Pretty orange blooms. More…
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…
Happy Valentine’s Day
