While my mom was here she wanted to work on an easy project. After reading a post about do it yourself table runners on A Thoughtful Place, we decided to give it a try! This project is perfect because it requires absolutely no sewing...and it's also inexpensive. Score! You will need a 6x9 canvas drop cloth. I found mine at Home Depot for under ... Read More

My mom came out this weekend for a little visit. She lives in California (where I grew up!) and it is always fun to have her out here with me, even if it is only for a few days.

We rented The Social Network.....I thought it was good but the husband thought it was way too long and ... Read More

But once I had to take down all of the Christmas decorations, it looked a little....well sad.  So I did what any budget savvy girl would do. I shopped the house! Shopping the house means you "shop" around what you already have and pull items that you ... Read More

I keep seeing this adorable yarn wrapped letters on different blogs and thought I would try to make my own. Similar items have been sold at stores for upwards of $25! Yikes!  So when I was feeling creative and looking for a project, I knew this inexpensive idea would be perfect. All you need is yarn and a letter of your choice. I also ended up ... Read More
