Ever since we took them to Medieval Times, knights have been the focal point of my sons’ imaginations. My oldest even puts on “knight shows,” complete with imaginary fire and jousting. So when it was time to plan their combined birthday party, Medieval just made sense. Luckily for me, the Game of Thrones frenzy was […]

DIY baby “taggie” tutorial
I’m becoming an aunt again (!!!), and the baby news has me very busy in the craft room. I recently spent some time making gifts for my soon-to-be nephew, including a “taggie.” Or, “lovey,” you might call it. You know, the little square of fabric with tags and crinkles inside? It was fun and easy, […]
DIY Tutorial: Envelope pillow cover
When we bought our beautiful little Scamp camper, I immediately wanted to start creating pieces that would make it more “ours.” The first thing I wanted to do was cover the pillows with a fabric that better fit our style. I had a lot of fun with this project, so I wanted to share a […]

Creative children’s activities – come rain or shine
This post may contain affiliate links. One of the great (read: frustrating) things about living in Oklahoma is the weather. One day it’s beautiful, the next it’s freezing. Tornado one day, snow the next. Take this week for example. Today, the high is 80. I sent my son to day care in shorts. Tomorrow, however, […]
Lettering with Lindsey: OKC’s very own calligraphy workshop

LE Calligraphy is owned by Lindsey, an Oklahoma native with a sweet […]
DIY String Art Monogram Tutorial
Have you noticed that string art is all the rage? I first discovered the concept when strolling the aisles of an antique store. There was a beautiful owl, created with only string and nails, and I knew I wanted to try the art form as soon as possible. I finally had a chance to give […]

DIY: Easy Easter wreath tutorial
Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? How in the world can it already be April? This year has flown by, and even though I can’t believe Easter is right around the corner, it’s happening just the same. As far as holidays go, I am a big Easter fan. Of course, the meaning of […]
{Giveaway}: Hand-stamped jewelry is back!
Crafting is life, am I right? I used to run an Etsy shop for a lot of my various crafts, but it fell off the radar when I was pregnant with my son. My old craft room turned into his nursery, and then we moved to another house and priorities shifted again. Now, I’m happy […]
