One kind of crazy thing about a really fast, really unexpected move is that we're closing on our house in a few weeks and I haven't even shown you pictures of any of it yet (well, except the wreck of demolition, the in-progress kitchen and the finally finished craft room). I kept putting off …

DIY glittered clothespins
One of my favorite projects in my sewing room is the glittered clothespins (strung on a line, currently holding up my favorite ever calendar). They are EASY to make- just paint the clothespins gold, sprinkle with glitter, let dry and top with clear glossy spray paint- and they look …
sewing spaces- craft room redo complete!
I've been working on putting my craft room/sewing room together since the first of the year (with a February break to go visit Jord and crew)... ...and I finished it up just in time to share as part of the 2 little hooligans "Sewing Spaces" series. I'm loving the chance to peek into some of my …

DIY luxe stool cushion (IKEA hack how to)
If you follow us on instagram, you've certainly seen snippets of my office makeover. I was hoping to have the whole thing finished up this week since the kids and I heading to the middle east for a whole month (!?!) to see Jord and her crew. But I am just not sure it's going to happen, y'all …
DIY weekly menu planner (and a free printable!)
Every January I have the urge to deep clean my house from top to bottom, to buy one of everything at the Container Store, and to organize every single thing in my life from our closets to our schedule. Somehow, miraculously, it actually feels like I am making some headway this year. Part of this …
DIY polka dot cork letters
Friends, things have been c-razy around here- a self induced chaos, entirely my own fault, but crazy just the same. Between launching Shiny Happy Sprinkles, getting ready for a couple of upcoming trips (including a little trip to Thanksgiving Point for SNAP- will I see any of you there?), and a full …
DIY spring wreath in pink and gold
I mentioned that I have some big plans to spruce our front porch. Even though I haven't done any of the actual painting, or changed out the hardware, I DID make a petal pink linen and gold spring wreath. And I love it- it makes the whole porch feel like Spring. Want to make a Spring-y linen …
DIY spring wreath ideas
I have some plans for my new porch. They start with painting my front door... and adding new door hardware... and adding a fabulous door knocker. Of course, instead of starting on any of those things, all I can think about is making a spring wreath. Which means I've collected quite the little …
create a map covered monogram
My kids have a love affair with European cities. Piper Jane is team Paris and Burke lo-oves London. So a map covered monogram with a twist- London Tube maps- is the perfect addition to the Smooches' shared room (see my plans for that space here). A sweet friend who is living in London sent me a …
