Acorns are a super inexpensive way to decorate for Fall. I'm awed by all the beautiful things that can be done with them, from easy candle holders, to more involved, hand-painted ornaments. You can't help but fall in love with the rustic charm that acorns bring to the table! Here in Texas, we Keep Reading
Sewing
I will never pretend to be a super talented crafter-type, but I do love the occasional simple sewing project. Especially when the end result is something functional that you can use every day!

Home-Sewn Diapers

With a new baby on the way, I recently came to the conclusion that it was time to expand the diaper stash. With Garrett in the process of potty training (and doing quite well, I might add), I hope Keep Reading
