Hi everyone!

Happy Tuesday! Whew – we made it past the middle of February, and you know what that means – it’s time to be thinking about spring! Ah, spring … sunshine, longer days, bees buzzing among the flowers.

 
Okay, maybe we’re being a tiny bit optimistic, but it can’t hurt to look ahead, can it? In that optimistic vein, our DIY Tutorial this week is the perfect homemade gift for any little spring or winter baby to teeth on and practice his or her coordination. Made from the super-adorable Theodore and Izzy collection, this ring stacking toy makes a versatile and unique gift for the little honey in your life.

Hi everyone!

Happy Tuesday!! We hope you are all having a fantastic day so far. Keeping in the theme of Valentine’s day week, we’ve made super cute felt mailboxes and had a mini card exchange today. We are spreading positive, heart-filled vibes in the office ♥ It’s also the last day for our Betty Boop FQ bundle giveaway! :)

We’ve also got another Valentine’s day treat for you! Today we are sharing an uber-cute DIY Valentine’s day dual tutorial: Our Conversation Hearts Banner & Valentine’s Gift Tag!! We recently launched our Ad-Fab™ (learn more about it here!) and wanted to share one of the many ways you can use it. Super easy to work with, mess-free, and perfect for all your crafting needs!

We used our chalkboard fabric and Ad-Fab™ for the pretty and sweet hearts, making a fun banner for any upcoming Valentine’s Day party! Spread some love by writing all the things you like best about your friends and loved ones with chalk or chalkboard markers onto our banner, and then re-use it for your next event! Include our Valentine’s gift tags with your presents, and your guests will also have a tag they can reuse again too! Now you will be all set and ready to celebrate with our holiday inspired DIY projects ♥

Hi everyone!

Happy Tuesday! We hope you are all having an excellent day. We’ve been hearing that an ice storm is heading East, crossing our fingers that we are not affected, but to those who are – stay safe and stay warm!! :)

Love is in the air!! Valentine’s Day is officially in 10 days, and we are super inspired here in the office…hearts all around! Today we’ve got a How To’s Day for you that is perfect in time for the day of love ♥

Imagine you and your one true love singing along to “She Will Be Loved” in the car, swimming together in an aquarium fish tank, and finishing the blissful day by carving your initials into a big, oak tree together…how indescribably romantic would that be? And while we all can’t be living through a Nicholas Sparks book, we definitely know of some stories that come pretty close. We’ve also got a DIY tutorial that is almost just as romantic and everlasting as carving a real, oak tree. Today we are sharing with you our “Love Your Forever” Tree Trunk Plush Tutorial!

Our “Love You Forever” Tree Trunk Plush is the perfect gift for this upcoming Valentine’s Day, or for any day you want to show the one you love how much you love them. We used our Frolicking Forest Collection, mimicking that true wood feel that you can keep forever. Stitch the initials of you and your loved one, or anyone you love! We believe the simplest sentiments are always the most meaningful and special.

Hi everyone!

Happy Tuesday everyone! We hope you all are having a wonderful day. It is terribly cold and windy here today, with just a wind gust of only 45 km/hr (27.9 mi/hr)…eek! We are exceptionally jealous of all of you who are enjoying sunny weather and warm rays. With the cold weather, we need something to cheer us up…such as a…party! The holiday festivities have thus come to an end, but sometimes throwing a fantastic party on impulse is the best way to lift the spirits of any bit of S.A.D. (seasonal affective disorder).

For us, any gathering that includes great company, amazing food, and lovely decor (and maybe just a dash or two of sparkle!) is a party! We love easy, DIY party decorating ideas and we’ve got one for you today. Napkins are a great way to change up a party look and add some instant flair to your dinner table, and our DIY napkins tutorial can do just that!

They are easy to make, look fantastic, and are environmentally-friendly. Ps, how cute are these measuring tape-styled napkin rings?! They are part of our new barware collection that will be coming soon, so stay tuned! So, call all of your closest friends and get to DIY-ing, ’cause you’ve got a party to plan!

Hi everyone!

Happy Tuesday! We hope everyone is having a wonderful Tuesday so far. It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas here…which is perfect, with Christmas only being 8 days away!! “We’re kicking off our fun old fashion family Christmas by heading out into the country in the old front-wheel drive sleigh to embrace the frosty majesty of the winter landscape and select that most important of Christmas symbols.” – National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation 

As Christmas is quickly approaching, there isn’t much time left for Christmas shopping. But, if you are still stuck on those on your list you aren’t quite sure what to get…we’ve got lots of ideas for you with our DIY projects!

Today we are sharing another awesome DIY project for you, perfect for the chilly but cozy weather we’ve currently get getting. What’s better than snuggling up in some soft pajamas by the fireplace with some hot cocoa on a cold night? Now you can do so with our Pajama Pants Tutorial that we’ve styled with our plaid flannel.
