It’s hot chocolate season, but so far it doesn’t feel like it. We love hot chocolate and I give my daughter the “your crazy” look when she says she wants hot chocolate in the summer.

I am a self confessed pony tail girl, I love the idea of it being acceptable to wear it out to a party. I definitely need to try this “Easy prep pony tail” as it looks sleek and best of all fast. I found it on a wedding website (No. I am not getting married) but it looks perfect for …

 

Sometimes the most beautiful things is the simplest of things. I love the idea of using Kraft paper or Butchers paper to create this country style feel.

Months ago I pinned that arm knitting video that’s all over Pinterest. I watched it and thought about writing about it. Clearly it was getting pinned a lot, but to me it just seemed like a strange craft that anyone who knew how to knit with needles wouldn’t actually want to do.

(I also happen to have pretty serious RSI, …

Lindsay of Delighted Momma had a great design for a simple, sparkly garland. Using a simple cutter, glitter and plain clay she created a great piece for her holiday decor. Being a bead maker I’d probably have made the cut outs as beads and knotted on each side but glueing probably works much more efficiently for this.
