My kitchen is full of bright, bold colors, so in conceiving of a wreath idea to accessorize one of the doors in that particular room, I knew I needed to go for the gusto and try something different. I have always loved calla lilies for their beautiful simplicity, and it happened that as I was…
Positively Handmade
Tiered terracotta planter
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.

DIY Metal Flowers
Good morning! I don’t know if it has to do with feeling a bit homesick after returning from my trip to visit family in New Mexico last month, but it seems each and every project I set out to do lately winds up having a funky, Southwestern feel. I absolutely adore the vivid color schemes that…

Using your Cricut to cut fabric
A couple of y’all have asked me lately how I made the little t-shirt to go with Charlotte’s Pebbles Skirt (don’t forget to check out the free tutorial I posted for the skirt earlier this week!). This was actually my first time using my Cricut to cut fabric, and I was so excited with how…
$1.74 well spent
Oh, I do love this time of year for so many reasons. The weather is warmer. The days are longer. And Hobby Lobby’s shelves are stocked with a plethora of VBS goodies. 🙂 If you are a mama of little ones and you’ve never perused the wares in that particular aisle during one of your…
