I completely forgot about the Winter Pinterest Challenge over at Young House Love today and immediately starting thinking about what projects I’ve crafted recently, but never blogged about. For Christmas I DIY’d a few gifts; there’s just something sweet about…
DIY Pinwheel Garland
Last night I decided to be a little crafty and started making garland for my mantel! For my first run, it didn’t turn out too bad. The plan is to make at least two more strings. Step 1: Pick your…
DIY Upholstered Headboard
