Nothing elevates a simple piece of glassware quite like etching an intricate design into it. The entertaining and gift-giving season is upon us, so today I’ve created a piece that can be used to accent your own winter décor or would also make an elegant and expensive-looking gift. Simple glass pieces like this can […]

Last Minute Halloween Decor
Happy Halloween! If you’ve been too busy to decorate your house and you can see the trick-or-treaters up the street and headed your way…here’s a super quick project that only requires about 1-2 sheets of black cardstock and 5 minutes to put together from start to finish (oh yeah, and you might need a Silhouette): […]
Chalkboard Quote on Canvas
I’m really not the kind of person who prints out quotes and slaps them on the wall normally, but this phrase really spoke to me when I saw it in the Silhouette Online Store. I decided to fashion myself a sign out of it and hang it next to the garage door where we’ll see […]

Homemade Garden Tags
I made these tags for my garden a few months back before I had to blog to share them on. It was a beautiful weekend where I am, so I spent a lot of time enjoying my garden today. Every year (even when I lived in a fourth floor apartment) I plant tons of tomatoes, […]
4th of July Patriotic Wreath
Happy 4th of July! I’ve loved all holidays since I was a kid…I just adore having a reason to celebrate even small things in life. My motto has always been that “anything worth doing is worth overdoing”, and there’s evidence of that in the birthday presents I buy, the Christmas lights that adorn my house […]
