DIY Bangle Holder from a Child’s Toy

September 3, 2014 By Tonya Staab 4 Comments

DIY Sewing Room Storage Ideas

Moving house is such a daunting task. If you are like me you’ve accumulated so much over the years and it all fits perfectly into the home you’ve been living in, but what happens when you move to a new home, is it all going to fit, or will you have to sell or donate […]

DIY Cuff: Wear Your Child’s Art

June 21, 2014 By Tonya Staab 7 Comments

I don’t know about you, but the last week of school before summer vacation there is a seemingly endless stream of paper coming into the house, between the artwork, the writing assignments, projects and notebooks. At the end of each school year I like to go through the art in particular, photograph (or scan it) […]

You may notice I’m a little obsessed with paper roll crafts. I’ve done a few here previously like these bunnies, leprechauns, and owls.

DIY Serving Tray

May 28, 2014 By Tonya Staab 4 Comments

I love upcycling thrift shop finds. I feel a huge sense of accomplishment when I take something that has been discarded and re-purpose it into something new and functional. This DIY serving tray cost less than $10 for materials. It may very well cost you nothing though if you already have the items you need […]

A Simple DIY Painted Vase

March 20, 2014 By Tonya Staab 7 Comments

Nothing says Spring like fresh flowers and spring cleaning. I’ve begun making the donation runs and re-organizing household items. In one cabinet alone I discovered I have 36 vases. That’s just craziness. Not only is there no way that I’m ever going to use that many vases at the one time, but quite a few […]
