I can't believe it is possible that I am a craft blogger and this is my first pumpkin blog post. What? Crazy, right? I found this pumpkins at Target's Dollar Spot. The name is a tad misleading since the pumpkin was in fact, $2.50. Either way, cheapest pumpkins I've seen. I was fortunate to be sent a package of glow in the dark puffy paint from Tulip as part of the iLoveToCreate campaign. I was tempted to forgo pumpkins and paint spider webs on some glassware, because I loved how my ...

Burlap & Fabric Flower Wreath
I know, I know...it is only August. But fall is right around the corner so I thought I would get started now. The burlap & fabric flower wreath is the first step to attaining my "fall mantle".

DIY Rope Vase or Utensil Crock
Once upon a time we went to a movie and bought a soda in an embarrassing large cup. If you ever find that your better judgement has failed and you have a cup the size of your head, there are things you can do to remedy your guilt. Know that the obscene amount of money you spent for a movie theater drink was not all in vain. As we were leaving the theater I was all, "Don't throw that away! I can make something with that." Some might say hoarder. I like to say recycle, inventive, reuse, GENIUS! ...
DIY Fabric Flower Hair Clip
Fourth of July morning, before the parade, parties, beach and fireworks, I decided to craft myself a hair clip. Yes, on a holiday, amongst the chaos of getting children ready, packing necessities and getting out the door on time, I NEEDED to craft a hair clip for myself. The husband didn't understand either. You see, back when I was making my Fourth of July flip flops, I made a few extra fabric flowers (using this fabric flower tutorial). All along I had envisioned this clip. I just never ...
