I’ve shared my craft space, and now I am just itching to share with you the rest of our downstairs family room. First, here’s a little peek at a play area I am trying to get organized for the kids. It needed a little personality, so I am working on [...]

First, Thank you for sharing and commenting on my t-shirt dress and tepee project from yesterday! It means the world to me that you liked it. Second-didly, I got a few emails asking how I made the tepee supports. The wood is actually three large wood dowels from Home Depot. [...]

The adorable folks over at Cricut had this brilliant idea to send bloggers a bunch of plain white t-shirts and some iron on materials, and basically said, “Make something awesome.” Um, yeah. I want in on that. So I asked for ten t-shirts (the max I was allowed to use) [...]

I have gotten to a point where my friends and family think it’s strange if I do not give them a handmade gift. Not sure if that is a good thing or not. Either way, everyone seems to be receptive and excited to receive something handmade. (It’s possible my sisters [...]

I keep seeing tutorials for leather fringe keychains poppin’ up all over the blogosphere. Since leather can be expensive, and the fringe can be time consuming to cut, I wanted to show you a cheap and fast way to make your own. You will need a few supplies. First, faux [...]

First things first. If you don’t know what letterpress is, it’s a form of relief printing. That’s where you have a template, place ink on top of it, and then stamp and indent the ink onto paper. It’s way cooler than plain old stamping because you have the element of depth and [...]

Posted by Katie Dayton It’s no secret, I am obsessed with water spigots.  I love their chippy paint, fun colors and how they are all unique. Last fall I had a total thyroidectomy, and I started to accumulate quite the stash of scarfs.  They were an everyday accessory for quite [...]

One of the rooms that I am having the most fun with in our new house  is my oldest daughters room. Every time I try something new she just kinda goes, “Meh. Whatever.” I have interpreted this as free reign, so I can pretty much do whatever I want. Now, before I show [...]

First things first, thank you for all your support with the latest Studio 5 segment. I have loved and appreciated all the feedback on Instagram and Facebook. Not gonna lie… I still get really nervous being on TV. But until they let me go all Milli Vanilli, where I do [...]

I am trying to come up with some brightly colored projects for the new house. Evey has some very strong opinions about her new room (help me now) and I know she will love this little wreath hanging in her room. The first thing you need is headband elastics. These are [...]

Look at these lovely metal stamps! I picked these up at Hobby Lobby for stamping jewelry but I have found all kinds of other fun uses for them. I really wanted to make some plant markers for my herb garden. You know, like the ones you see on Pinterest that say [...]

I have been dying to make a plastic animal bookend. The kids love books so we are always in need of bookends around here. I first saw this idea from Cassie over at Hi Sugarplum, and have since seen it done several different ways on Pinterest. (If you have done this [...]

Hey! Remember when I posted about all my globe lighting ideas and I said I was glad I was done posting about them? Then I realized I had completely forgotten to post about one of them? Yeah. That was awesome. Apparently I totally forgot about the bamboo roll-up shade light [...]

{This project was originally posted at Or So She Says HERE}   Ready for a little ‘ol gaudy ring bling? A few weeks ago I was shopping at a nearby boutique with a few girlfriends. We all fell madly in love with a ginormous display of oversized cocktail rings. The bigger the better, [...]

Ready to make Darin’s absolute favorite light fixture from Studio 5? What can I say… that guy has good taste! Here’s what you need to make the Christmas ornament light fixture: -3 dozen Christmas ornaments – Hobby Lobby sells these year round in the glassware section. – String – Hot [...]

Well hello friends. If you watched  Studio 5 this morning, many thanks for tuning in! Here the first of the “globe lighting” projects. And, um yes, it is an actual globe. The fabulous thing about this project is you can end up with TWO sweet light fixtures. Besides a globe, [...]

This is the story of my earbuds that made me very angry as they were always getting tangled everywhere I went. So I bought embroidery floss in my favorite shades of green. Then I remembered I really didn’t like green. And then I realized I liked Wal-Mart even less, and [...]

My sister and I scored some seriously awesome vintage buttons at a yard sale a few weeks ago. The person selling them wanted about a nickel a button, so she and I spent almost 45 minutes meticulously picking out our favorites. Then the seller got tired of us in his [...]

I am always amazed at people who think scrapbook stores are just for scrapbooking. It’s like saying Home Depot is intended only for plumbers. I spend way too much time in Home Depot, and I have no interest whatsoever in plumbing. (Although, maybe I should learn more about plumbing since [...]

  Favorite. Project. Ever. Well, maybe not ever. But definitely one I look at again and again and think, Dude! I totally made that! I might not rock appearing on television and attempting to not look green with nervousness, but I totally rocked this project! Fist pump! (May I please take this opportunity to [...]
