For Bloggers

I kinda like the week between Christmas and New Year’s. There’s time for both reflecting on the past year and anticipating the new one. It’s my hope that this week has been good for you as well. If part of your New Year’s plan is to declutter, check out this post from Whitney of Big…

A long time ago my Nana taught me how to crochet. I’m a lefty so she set me in front of her so I could mirror her motions. That’s why this ripple pattern from The Underground Crafter caught my eye. She made tons of afghans using a variation of this pattern. I had a multicolor…

I love these Free iPhone Wallpapers from Kim at Everyday Parties. She has a whole year’s worth of images available. I haven’t done a lot of work with graphic design, other than a little here and there for the blog, so I appreciate other people’s efforts and talents. Drop by and check out all of…

Check out this fun project from Chas’ Crazy Creations. It makes use of a string of battery operated lights to put some sparkle into a painted canvas. There are so many different possibilities with this craft!

Too often the decor in a home reflects just one partner (usually the…

She cleverly combined found objects from her yard with stash objects in her craft room to come up with this pretty home decor item. There are so many ways to go with this craft!

Tarah from Grandma’s House DIY shared a great project for organizing all the jewelry that collects on the the nightstand. She started with an inexpensive mirror and went from there. You know you could adapt this for other types of frames. This post comes along at a good time because I’ve been thinking about making…

We’ve entered the rainy/gloomy season here in Spain. Already I find myself sleeping later in the morning and wearing long pants. You get used to carrying an umbrella and wearing layers. The cafes have started putting their tables in storage until next season, see you later sunshine. On the bright side, the bars have started…
