Vibrant Spring Mantel

February 28, 2012 By Amy @ Positively Splendid

The March issue of Southern Living arrived on my doorstep late last week, and I was immediately smitten with the gorgeous springtime scene pictured on its cover.  Stunning, no? Something about that turquoise door juxtaposed against those bright pink and green hues lit a fire under me, and I knew immediately I wanted to use…

Building a Raised-Bed Garden

February 27, 2012 By Amy @ Positively Splendid

Great information for anyone wanting to try out raised-bed gardening. Tips for building, budgeting, planting and more!

In January, I shared my 12 major DIY goals for 2012, with a different project designated for each month of the year. So far, things are going great! I shared earlier this month the Hallway Command Center I created to fulfill my February goal (a board and batten hallway), and this weekend, the fam and…

Buttermilk Pie

February 3, 2012 By Amy @ Positively Splendid

The moment I see fresh berries popping up in the supermarket, I find myself dreaming of all of the yummy ways to showcase the sweet little gems. Pound cakes, cobblers and shortcake are obvious contenders, but one of my absolute favorites is actually the least likely of all: Buttermilk Pie. As is typical of chess…

Blueberry-Almond Muffins

July 5, 2010 By Amy @ Positively Splendid

I hope everyone had a fabulous Independence Day! It really does seem that the 4th of July, more than any other holiday, epitomizes summer in full swing, don’t you think? If you’re in the mood for a tasty breakfast to prepare to extend the festive mood of the weekend into the rest of the week,…

Make your own mosquito repellent spray

June 17, 2010 By Amy @ Positively Splendid

I so enjoy the comments y’all leave on my projects and posts. I read each and every one of them, and I try hard to respond to them all. Things recently have been far more hectic than usual, so if I have neglected to thank you for a comment you have left in the last…

Homemade bug-banishing candles

June 3, 2010 By Amy @ Positively Splendid

Each year, the advent of summer is accompanied by the arrival of some very unwelcome visitors: mosquitoes and the little pests we like to refer to in these parts as “no-see-‘ums.” I long ago lost faith in the efficacy of citronella candles in combating these pests during our time outdoors each evening, simply because they…

Easy Outdoor Placemats

May 25, 2010 By Amy @ Positively Splendid

There is a brief window each day while my kiddos nap that I try to seize whenever possible to work on a craft or sewing project. Nothing is more satisfying to me during that time than to tackle an entire project from start to finish! The project I’ll be sharing with y’all today is absolutely…

Felt Bird Sachets

May 18, 2010 By Amy @ Positively Splendid

These little guys make me smile. The bright, happy colors infuse any decor with fun energy, just like they did the food table at the Little Bird Baby Shower I shared about yesterday. The best part is, they are incredibly easy to put together! Each requires only minimal amounts of felt and embroidery thread, along…

Tiered terracotta planter

May 3, 2010 By Amy @ Positively Splendid

With the advent of spring, something in my soul truly clamors for color, and nothing scratches that itch like a trip to my favorite nursery, The Flower Depot in Mayflower, Arkansas. Yesterday, I had the privilege to leave home (sans a single child!) for a couple of glorious hours while I headed to Tom’s store…
