DIY Neon & Nude Asymmetrical Manicure

Nail art isn’t usually part of my manicure routine.  It’s pretty impressive and all, I just usually stick to the classics.  But when I saw Love Meagan’s reinterpretation of this neon and nude manicure, I wanted to give it a try since I love the color combination so much.  Since I’m a nail art novice […]

DIY Gold Vermeil Chain & Disc Necklace

I ventured into my local bead shop yesterday to purchase some new crimp beads.  One hour and almost $100 later, I walked out with supplies and ideas for about 5 new projects. I’m tired of never having gifts available when I need them and having to run out to Target to buy something I really […]

DIY Gold Bar Bracelet

Over Mother’s Day weekend, I got exactly what I wished for, some time to sit and organize some of my jewelry making supplies, and time to create a few new pieces.  I actually made some gifts for friends and family, and when I was through, I made myself a simple little gold bar bracelet that […]

DIY Bead & Skull Keychain

For the past two years I’ve carried around a wooden bead keychain that the kids made me for Mother’s Day.  I was always losing my keys in the bottom of my purse, so they thought (with some facilitating by my husband), bigger would be better.  The keychain is big alright, with each of their names […]

Casual & Neutral Place Setting

I thought since I had the pictures already taken, and the floral arrangement post has received a good number of pins, I’d share another little set up I did over the weekend just for fun.  I know what you’re thinking, “how and why did she do this just for fun?”  Well the kids were swimming […]

DIY Floral Arrangements

So fresh floral arrangements may not be a necessity at a 7 year olds birthday party, but since I was heading down to LA to visit Moskatel’s and Michael Levine, I figured why not make a pit stop at the LA Flower Mart too.  After all, shouldn’t having a few fresh flower arrangements around the […]

Favorite Bead Supply Store

It seems like between me and the kids, we’re always visiting someplace interesting or fun, and so I thought I’d start sharing some of those places with you all.  Most of our favorite spots are of course local, but there’s always a treasure to be found while traveling about too.  Today I’d like to share […]

4 Simple DIY Neon Tote Ideas

I make a lot of canvas totes, rather, I dress up a lot of canvas totes. It’s been an obsession of mine for a couple of years now. And yes, I do use them all. I give them away as gifts, use them as gift bags, use them as grocery bags, overnight bags for the […]
