Infamous Bunny Pots


I know I'm late to the party on this one, everyone and their dogs have made versions of these adorable bunny pots.  I really liked how Rook No. 17 put her bunnies together, so of course, I copy.  What could be better than an adorable green, moss covered bunny topiary?

Ceramic Solitude


Oh how I love painting ceramics!  I wish I could quit my day job and do it full time!  I come from a long line of the ceramics enthused......my mom, aunts, and grandma were busy making gorgeous creations long before I was born.  I remember going to ceramics shops with my mom and looking at the rows of greenware, I was drooling even at age four.  Utopia, then and now.

Sock Wreath, Sock It To Ya


There are adorable sock wreaths hanging on doors throughout the blogosphere, I remember the first time I saw them last summer over at Blue Cricket Designs, so cute!  I had totally forgotten about wanting to make one  until I ran across Lori's Valentine's Day version over at My Life Among the Three Stooges.  LOVE!  I had to make one, or three, which is how many I have created so far.

Festive Ribbon Wreath


I'm a giant hypocrite! I know, I know, I recently professed my traditional distaste for wreaths, but now I've made about 7 different varieties in six weeks time.  I'm back on board people!  It's a woman's prerogative to change her mind right?  I am loving wreaths.  There, I  said it. I saw this ADORABLE  ribbon wreath by Ellen over at The Long Thread before Halloween, and it's been nagging at my 'right brain' since!  It's was too easy and too chic to pass up!

Holiday Santa Hat Craft

When I first began spending my late nights in the DIY and craft blogosphere, I became so inspired by Sarah over at Thrifty Decor Chick that I practically stalked her blog. The ideas and inspiration.....limitless.  I have already utilized a bunch of styrofoam cones in a project I'll debut a bit later this month, but when I saw this idea for hand crafted Santa hats, I just had to share. FAB FAB FAB.  LOVE LOVE LOVE.

Twist on Photo in a Frame


I love the holidays, excuses to make cute and fun gifts for friends and family.  So many times I find myself giving people photos in frames.  I hate picking out frames, my style always seeps in, and everyone has a black and white photo with a white mat.  This project is a great way to give photos, and show the love that comes along with a handmade gift.  I've seen variations on this theme, and thought I'd make a few as gifts for the upcoming holiday.

Lima Bean Wreath


I have always had a strange aversion to wreaths.  I’ve avoided the round lovelies for most of my adult life, normally finding them to be 'a little bit country' for my 'a little bit rock-n-roll' taste. But, late one night while surfing the blogosphere, my wreath ill-will was challenged.  All Things Thrifty was featuring the most amazing and economical wreath made from simple Lima beans and Styrofoam! LOVE.
