Project: Traditional Standing Bird Origami Tutorial
Hey again, everyone! I decided to keep up my origami creature theme and try my hand (talon?) at making a bird! I decided on something slightly easier (and more kid-friendly!) than your typical crane, so we’re just going to make a traditional standing bird this time around. It uses one piece of paper and is pretty darn easy to make! Continue reading Origami with The Husband: Traditional Standing Bird

Recipe: Maple Walnut Pecan Chicken
I love a good baked chicken recipe- especially one that only takes 30 minutes to make! My friend (hey Hoffff!) made it for me a few years ago and I loved it. The following week I made it for my husband and he loved it. Then I made it for my Dad and Sister a few weeks after that and they loved it. Then my Dad made it for my Aunt and well- you can see where this is going. It’s obviously a winner in our family- and hopefully it will be in yours too!
Project: DIY Handmade Stamps
I recently bought little kraft brown jewelry boxes to ship my rings and earrings on Etsy, but they are plain and I wanted to give them my personal touch. I have Katie Crafts logo stickers, and they are cute! But they are white. I really wanted to keep the handmade kraft brown look with a logo stamp instead. They can get expensive- so I decided (of course!) to just make it myself. It was SUCH a fun little project and I can’t wait to make more! Continue reading DIY Handmade Stamps
Recipe: Shamrock Shake!
Happy Saint Patrick’s Day! I spent hours slaving away in the kitchen to come up with a very special treat just for you! Okay, fine. I spent about 5 minutes in the kitchen, but that’s all you’ll need to make my version of the infamous McDonald’s Shamrock Shake! Continue reading Shamrock Shake Recipe
Project: DIY Decorative Thumb Tacks
I bought two really cute Martha Stewart (of course!) message boards at Staples to go above my new work area, and while some of the push pins come in fun colors, it wasn’t quite enough. Obviously I had to make my own! I love the way these fabric covered thumb tacks came out, and love even more that they only took 5 steps! Continue reading DIY Decorative Thumb Tacks
