Project: Fabric Christmas Trees
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!

What You Need tree form 1/4-1/2 a yard of fabric glue gun glue sticks First – you’re going to want to make your tree form. I…

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…

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…
