This project has a bit of a backstory and may encourage pack rat tendencies (sorry in advance!). Okay, so in December, I was working in a clientβs closet and realized that her clothes were so heavy they were pulling her shelves off of the wall. Luckily, Jarod is a handyman with design experience so IContinue reading “Trash to Treasure”

Upcycled Tin Cans
Today I have a pretty quick craft for you! I was scouring Etsy and Pinterest looking at things I could make for fun with things around the house. I came across an Etsy page of a woman who makes tons of designs using tin cans. Some were painted one color and had some twine, andContinue reading “Upcycled Tin Cans”
Upcycled Desk
Todayβs project was supposed to be a simple flip. In mid-January, Jarod found this childβs desk on Facebook Marketplace and we thought about how to fix it up. The first idea was just to clean off the stickers and repaint it, but the desk is so small we werenβt sure how it would sell. WeContinue reading “Upcycled Desk”
Piano Key Holders
HELLO!! I know itβs been WAY too long since Iβve written a blog post. I realized I took on too many projects and got burnt out. I wasnβt doing them for fun, I was doing them just to add another task to my list. (Recently I found out that this might mean Iβm a workaholic-Continue reading “Piano Key Holders”
Baby Scrapbook
Back in spring, I found out that my best friend of 21 years is pregnant. After the shock wore off, I realized I had to do something huge for her. Wellβ¦ not huge; meaningful. I thought about making a baby blanket like I have for a lot of my friendsβ kids. But knowing her family,Continue reading “Baby Scrapbook”
Annual Holiday Posters
This week, Jarod and I have spent a lot of time in the car working with a client over an hour away. We were chatting about what to do one night when we got home and I gave a few options: 1) hop in the craft room and create something, 2) game night, 3) anContinue reading “Annual Holiday Posters”
No More Cotton Balls!
Today I have yet another craft I found on TikTokβ¦ I swear I do spend time off of that app. Anywho, this craft caught my eye because it reuses old materials and can save me money on cotton balls and makeup remover wipes. Every night, I use at least one cotton ball to take offContinue reading “No More Cotton Balls!”
Homemade Syrup
If you follow my blog, youβll see that I took a little break. Work got really busy (thank goodness) and I kept forgetting to take time and craftβ¦ or take pictures and write about it. Luckily, I decided months ago that I was going to take my whole birthday weekend off since it aligns withContinue reading “Homemade Syrup”
Hanging Crystals
If you read my last post, youβll know Iβm focusing a lot more on being intentional in my actions. And if you havenβt, you should go check that out. Anywho, while Iβm on this journey Iβm trying anything I can to focus my energy where I want it to go. The other night, I wasContinue reading “Hanging Crystals”
Monday Motivational Meeting
When I was in college, I was lucky to meet a lot of wonderful people. I didnβt meet anyone I truly connected with until the last couple of years when we were delving more into the details of engineering and spending a lot of time in the labs. As we realized our βfunβ time wasContinue reading “Monday Motivational Meeting”
