The sweet dollhouse from Adrienne at Wonderful Creations brought back so many memories! When I was a kid in the 70s there was a play set called The Sunshine Family that encouraged making your own furnishings and clothes for the dolls. My sister and I suspect our mother bought the starter set as much for…
We’ve talked about the benefits of exfoliating your skin as well as several DIY masks you can make at home. Today I want to talk about how to do a steam facial at home.
I really like this cute stash busting project for making a doll sized diaper. Velcro fastenings make it easy for little hands to put on and take them off. Do you have a doll or two in your life that’s currently running around naked? Teresa has a full tutorial and a free copy of her…

Interior tasks such as cleaning the appliances and cabinets, painting walls, changing the filters of the air conditioner, and cleaning kitchen sinks, are all easy to remember. However,…

I had nearly an entire ball of yarn left from another project and decided to make a Zig Zag scarf for this month’s Craft Room Destash Challenge. The pretty textured stitch pattern is called Zig Zag Rib and I learned about it from Musings of a Yarn Mom. It works well with a firm worsted…
Who doesn’t enjoy vintage photographs? I love all the ways clever people incorporate them into their decor. Today’s example, from Victoria of Dazzle While Frazzled is a new thing for me. She had a vintage photo from the Library of Congress printed to make a custom decal which she installed as a backsplash for the…
I don’t fuss much with makeup but I do have some and wear it on a regular basis. I needed a place to not only store it, but also make it convenient to use. I recently made a couple storage boxes using recycled materials to organize my cosmetics and decorated them with washi tape. Making…
Do you like to work out to music? Today I’m going to show you how you can create your own playlist that will be perfect for whatever type of exercise you choose. I’ve updated a post that was originally published on Lydia’s Flexitarian Kitchen in September 2013.
