Jersey Knit Infinity Scarf
My cousin was wearing a knitted infinity scarf the other day and it reminded me that I’ve been wanting to make one with some leftover jersey knit cotton I used for a baby wrap when Dom was born. This scarf was so simple to…
Valentine’s Coasters
Another Valentine’s Day decoration. Super easy, super cheap (like .24 cents each cheap). Expect to see these for future holidays as well. The base of the coaster is a .16 cent ceramic tile from Lowe’s, and the paper on top is cut from a…
Experimental Friendship Bracelet
I picked up some glass seed beads today and started experimenting with adding them to a knotted friendship bracelet. I wasn’t adding them in any particular pattern; just trying out different ways of knotting the threads around them. I ended up with so many…
Orange T-Shirt Skirt
Sometime last year my husband went to an event for work and came home with two large orange promotional t-shirts. I knew neither of us would wear them, but I hung onto them with the idea that someday I’d make something from them. That…

Black Paisley Purse
I made another one of these purses today. It’s the sixth one of these I’ve made, and I’m getting better and faster at it – not to say that I didn’t make a few mistakes, but nothing fatal. I learned something new today too…

Table Lamp Transformation
I have a lamp that I like a lot. It was handmade by a great-great-great uncle (I think that’s the number of greats, at least) in 1942. I recently had it rewired but haven’t purchased the entirely right shade for it yet. The shade…
