DIY Heart Valentine Gloves

I am usually about simple things for Valentine's Day around here, but the other day we spotted these red gloves in one of the dollar bins and I thought they would be a fun little something for a Valentine treat.  And since the weather is still so cold here in February, gloves will still be worn a lot in the month of February! If you would like to make some too, they are simple and fast for an afternoon project....here's what you do. ... View the Post

Snowman Handwarmers

This post is sponsored by Wayfair. Today we are taking part in the Wayfair's Spectacular Snow Day Campaign for great DIY's and recipes that everyone can make during a snow day...and today's tutorial is one that we definitely need with all the snow and cold we have had this winter! I am a big fan of handwarmers, probably because my hands are always cold.  These handwarmers are filled with rice and after they are made, you put them in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds and then slip ...

And you would think after making so many of them I would get tired of it....but...no, I'm not.  In fact recently I've been back on the hair bow making train but this time making them "inspired by" my girls favorite Disney Princesses and Villians.  But before we get to that let's walk through how easy these bows are to ...

Blanket Scarf Wrap Tutorial

I was over on Facebook a week or so ago, telling everyone that I had started 11 projects in November and December and not finished any of them....well, then I remembered one that I had completed, I just didn't have time to photograph it or post about it. So, yay for one finish in the last two months!  (Although I did make it a goal not to start anything new until those 11 projects are done--and I have finished three more.  One dress just needed cuffs and buttons.) I am trying to set my 30 mins ... View the Post
