20 DIY Jute Projects
While I was purging my house a few weeks ago I found several rolls of jute twine. I don’t really remember why I bought them. It might have been to redo the posts on the cat condo, but I just ordered some new posts because I was lazy. So now I need to figure out …
Quotation Mark Wall Art

Nothing too fancy, I gave up on my dining room chairs and bought new white chairs, but I had a few items in my craft room/office that needed a little sprucing up. The first of my three projects was finished last weekend. It was simple, to revamp …
WIPS and Kitchen Projects
I have several very different craft projects in the works, and for some reason it is really difficult for me to get one completed. Three of my projects under my Works in Progress bars are presents, so those have deadlines, but the others are just out in limbo. I guess I can blame all of the really …
