There are two kinds of people after a long day with kids: those who meditate… and those who open the candy drawer. Guess which one I am. So when the sugar guilt kicked in, I did what any responsible adult would do — I decided to pour my stress into plaster instead of calories. The...
Halloween décor always walks a fine line between spooky and straight-up tacky. You know what I mean — plastic skeletons that squeak when the wind blows, pumpkin lights that flicker like they’ve seen things, and glitter-covered bats shedding on everything you love. So this year, I wanted something different. Something weird, modern, and charmingly handmade....
So picture this: the kids are finally back in school, the house is quiet, and I’ve reached that dangerous stage of boredom where crafts start happening. My corgi, Emma, looked too relaxed, so I decided we both needed a creative outlet — or, as I call it, “mild chaos with decorative results.” The goal? Add...
I don’t know about you, but I always struggle with what to do when it comes to decorating my walls for Halloween. A garland is great, but sometimes you want something a little different, right? That’s where this project came in. While I was out for a walk by the beach (because sometimes you just...
If you’re tired of buying a fresh pumpkin every year just to watch it slowly melt into a puddle of orange goo, let me introduce you to concrete pumpkins. Yes, they weigh a ton, take forever to make, and at some point you’ll wonder why you didn’t just buy a $10 plastic one at the...
So, every year we go to the beach and, like clockwork, we return with souvenirs. And no, not the cheap little trinkets you buy in a shop. I’m talking bags of rocks, sticks, and things that probably looked magical through a child’s eyes but now just look like… sticks. This time we came home with...
So here’s the thing: summer was ending, and I wasn’t emotionally ready. The solution? Smuggle summer straight onto the dinner table in the form of… fruit-shaped napkin holders. Because why settle for IKEA plastic when you can have clay fruit yelling at guests to wipe their mouths? I started with watermelon because, well, it’s the...
Sometimes you look at your garden and think, “Yeah… it needs something.” Not a gnome. Not another store-bought plastic planter that fades in two summers. No — something bold. Something weatherproof. Something that will survive both a thunderstorm and that one neighbor’s unsupervised toddler. So I made a planter. From concrete. Shaped like a raspberry....
So, picture this: I’m walking through my garden, and everything looks… fine. Too fine. Green, calm, peaceful — basically the botanical equivalent of a polite golf clap. Even mushrooms looks polished. And I thought, nope, not today. I wanted color. I wanted chaos. I wanted chickens. And not the clucking, feather‑shedding kind — but tall,...
Looking for cheap fall decor you can make in five minutes without sewing, painting, or crying into a pile of Pinterest fails? You’re in the right place. I wanted cute fabric apples for fall. You know, the cozy kind that sit on a windowsill and scream “I totally have my life together.” But reality check:...
