Project: Paw Print Art
Paw print art! You could even do this with kids hands, feet, or little noses! What You Need canvas paint bowl paws First – get your canvas and paint ready. I did this outside and used an everyday household paint. The best part about this little project is that the deck (it’s old and rundown) got extra paw print marks on it before I could clean up the pups. Oh, and one of Lily’s paw prints on the hot tub cover. I just love her.…

Project: Boler
This Canadian classic travel trailer is truly iconic. The Boler is a fiberglass trailer that is timeless – we got our first one in 2012. And, our 1972 trailer was 40. Yes, 40! Boler Done! We’ve worked hard all summer on this Boler and she’s finally done! From being fully gutted to a new and bright vintage trailer, we are so happy.

Tutorial: Waxed Cotton
Waxing Cotton. Why? To waterproof something, to add structure, or because you like the look.

Project: Silver Ring Necklace
Do you love accessories? Especially those big, trendy pieces that JCrew sells for 230$? Me, yes – I love them. For 230$, however, it’s not worth it. What is worth it is trying to make your own! After searching for a while for an accessory with some pop for my summer wardrobe I came across this neon nylon string at Michael’s. Then, I was inspired by a project from Honestly WTF where she made this beautiful brass ring necklace. So, I drove off to Home…
