  • Etched Mason Jar Lantern

    Like a couple of others of you out there, I have a thing for Mason jars.  I grew up with them (no, not in the 1850s, thank you!) and my mom would use them for our preserves or even cereal and store them in our jelly cabinet.  I’ve been wanting to make a lantern like this for […]

  • Heat Transfer Garden Markers

    The consistently warm weather has finally settled into my neck of the woods, so I’ve been spending the last several weeks prepping and planting my vegetable garden and hoping for a good growing season.  I always plant a couple of varieties of just a handful of different vegetable plants (mostly tomatoes, peppers, squash, and cucumbers with a […]

  • Hello Sunshine Sign

      This week’s free shape bundle has so many possibilities.  When I saw the doily shape and flowers, though, I immediately decided to go a little country and create this quick Print & Cut sign using the Printable Cotton Canvas.

  • Vellum Suncatchers

    Hey ya’ll…I’m back with a quick and easy project using the Silhouette Vellum Paper.  When I felt how sturdy this material was compared to some vellum papers, I knew I wanted to try to make faux suncatchers with it.  And since I couldn’t decide which method I liked best, I decided to share all three.

  • Monogrammed Welcome Mat

    In my neck of the woods the winter weather is nearly gone, so that means it’s time for me to start sprucing up my outdoor spaces.  When I saw the new line of split monogram designs from Snapdragon Snippets in the Online Store, I was immediately inspired to make this personalized welcome mat. I tested a couple of fonts […]
