The Paint Chip Closet
I’m afraid of color. I am afraid to make bold statements in my home. Maybe it’s because I am such a colorful person on the inside I need my surroundings to be calm and understated (this is sarcasm). At the same time, there is so much to be done with color and I long to […]
Melting Crayons
Here is a little DIY project that is really really fun! I have seen Pinterest projects that include melting crayons on canvas and other found objects and I thought it would be a fun to try my hand at it. I purchased this Noel sign from Michael’s in their after Christmas clearance sale last year. […]

How to Make a Fabric Pomander
This has been one of my ongoing projects this past year. To say it has been satisfying would be an understatement. For me, there is something magical about these pomanders that make them more beautiful than the real thing. My sister-in-law used them in her wedding at Punderson State Park in Ohio. I apologize that […]
