Pisces Constellation Painted Rock

Pisces Constellation Painted Rock

Now that I have all of my things in one place again, I'm struggling with where to put it all. When I packed up my craft room in the States, I thought it was going to be for a few months at most. It's now years later and I'm in a totally different place (in more ways than one!). While I have an absolutely lovely space, I simply have too many supplies. I'm trying to make it a goal to work my way through them without buying anything new (within reason). It's been made slightly easier by culling out ... Read More

How to Make a Jumbo Yarn Tassel

How to Make a Jumbo Yarn Tassel

We are full into unpacking mode and are at that point where we can see how things will be and it's awesome, but we still need pieces of furniture and there are things to do that will take some time. There are boxes everywhere, but corners are starting to get cleared and I'm able to start playing around with little touches. It's properly chilly here now and if you know me, you know I have a thing for blankets. I wanted to make sure that a blanket or four is always within reach so rounded up some ... Read More

Fifteen Minute Hot Glue Button Brooch

Fifteen Minute Hot Glue Button Brooch

One of the first things I bought when we moved to Scotland was a hot glue gun. It's one of those crafty things that everyone needs even if you don't immediately know it. I don't use mine all the time, but I can't imagine being without it. I've never gotten too crazy with what I use my glue gun for, but I was totally inspired after reading Angie and Carolina's new book. I'm pretty tickled with how my Fifteen Minute Hot Glue Button Brooch turned out! Supplies: hot glue gun glue ... Read More

Burlap and Felt Coasters

Burlap and Felt Coasters

It's a funny thing that I pretty much ignored burlap as a craft supply until the Cricut Maker made it so easy to work with. It's honestly still not my favourite, but I'm getting more comfortable with it and it's something I no longer mind being "forced" to use. I didn't even groan when I saw that this month's Craft Lightning prompt was burlap--I'm really happy with how my Burlap and Felt Coasters turned out. This post contains affiliate links. Supplies: Cricut Maker felt ... Read More

Fifteen Minute Embroidery Hoop and Popsicle Stick Picture Shelf

Fifteen Minute Embroidery Hoop and Popsicle Stick Picture Shelf

I'm dreading the upcoming summer break a bit--the girls love school so much and while our break is shorter than in the States, it's still going to be a solid chunk of time that the girls won't have regular access to their friends and the school routine. I've been trying to come up with things we can do and this month's Craft Lightning theme gave me a fun craft idea. The theme was wood and I always have embroidery hoops and popsicle sticks around. With just a bit of paint and glue, you can make ... Read More

Clay Pot Pincushion

Clay Pot Pincushion

I am firmly of the opinion that you can't have too many pincushions around the house (I say this as someone who wanders around with my stitching and have been known to use a couch arm!). They can be so easy to make that there isn't any excuse to not have at least one in every room. This Clay Pot Pincushion takes just 15 minutes to make and has a little secret that will make it your go-to for safely holding onto your needles and pins and you won't forget that you left a needle right where you ...

about me

I’ve wanted to be an archaeologist, in theatre, a judge, and to run a museum. While I try to decide what I want to be when I grow up, I spend my time crafting and exploring the world. Read More…
