Project: Bunched Fabric Ball Ornament
Bunched fabric ball ornament – time to make some holiday cheer! If you saw my post earlier this week on twine ornaments, then you know I’m on a mission to decorate our 12 foot tree in a festive and low cost way. These fabric ornaments are the perfect way to tie in the fabric I used on the fabric trees, too. This holiday is going awesome. Okay, let’s get started! What You Need 1 yard of fabric 20 foam balls or ball ornaments 30 feet…

Fabric Christmas trees – I’ve been wanting something like this on my mantel for a while and I finally decided to make it. This is the first year we’re decorating our mantel. Thus, time to get merry!

Project: Twine Christmas Ornaments
Twine Christmas ornaments – this easy diy project is messy, but worth it. In all honesty, I’m not a big fan of spending a lot of money on Christmas ornaments. I don’t really see the value in a $12 ornament. We have a 12 foot tree and the rough analysis of how many ornaments we need is between 240 – 450 ornaments. So, let’s roughly say a low average price of $4 per ornament – that’s between $960 – $1800. Ah, no thank you. These…

Project: Inspiration
Inspiration – time to reflect. Travelling to Southeast Asia was amazing and I’ve slept a lot in the last week since being home – it takes some time to readjust and get back into the swing of things. That, however, isn’t exactly what I want to do. I don’t want to just slip back into my life, but rather jump in more aware, less stressed, and with a clear perspective. Life is grand. In and of itself, it’s a beautiful thing. I met people who…

Projects: Guest Room
Guest Room We did it again, we re-did the guest room. When we first moved in on November 25, 2011 we re-did the guest room quickly because we had a visitor not even 6 weeks later – my mom. Since then it’s basically stayed the same. In March of 2015 we got the windows in both main floor rooms turned into doors since one day we’ll have a deck all around the house. Then, this past fall we renovated the closet in that room and…
