I feel like throughout the winter I have had a deficiency of creative juices. As spring starts to approach, I’m getting back in that crafty mood. I’m not a wreath person (I say that every time I make a wreath and I’ve made a lot of wreaths. (See here, here, here, here, here, here and here), …
It’s been a while since I pulled out the old water colors, but I had the urge last night, so I thought I would try my hand at some of the pins I have pinned with DIY water color tutorials. It didn’t go well. And it did go well. Have a look. Here’s my first …

Have I said lately how much I love making stuff? I love taking a random pile of stuff and turning it into something that didn’t exist until I made it. Pretty cool. Today I made diy wind chimes out of tiny clay pots. And of course, they are my new favorite thing ever. Cute, …
We have a winner! Last week I announced a contest in this post called Choose My Next Craft Adventure. The votes are in and have been tabulated. (No hanging chads were identified.
