How to make a Daily Tarot Card Holder (Mod Podge Project) An important part of my daily routine is drawing a daily tarot card. While I journal about them, I like the idea of being able to see the daily card in a place I spend a lot of time (my office). So, I decided to make a daily tarot card holder. It took a while for me to find…

how to make a spring tree centerpiece
I’m so happy it is Spring! I’m trying to bring my personal cheer into my home, so I decided to make a Spring tree centerpiece for my dining table, kind of like I did with my Halloween bouquet. I wish I had got this ready in time for Ostara, but it’s going to work well for Easter and this Spring season in general. I got the idea for this while…

how to cross stitch on card
My first foray into the crafting world was via cross stitching. And as it has been a while since I have done a cross stitch project, I decided to try my hand at cross stitching on card! I’ve had these little notebooks for a while, and while they are handy, they are not the most exciting things to look at. It was time for a makeover! Cross stitching on card…

the laziest way to make a pin cushion
Firstly, let’s all take a moment to appreciate how beautiful this tea cup is. This teacup originally came with a rose scented candle, and no matter how much I was it, the rose scent still lingers. Not that I mind, I bought it because really enjoy the smell. But I can’t really afford to start a new hobby just yet (though I will eventually make candles. I just know it),…

how to make a reading cushion
My kiddo is a big reader, so I thought it would be fun to make her a reading cushion! I almost made this project so that I would stuff it with toy stuffing (I have a fair amount of it!), but I decided to expand my horizons by adding a zipper. Five years ago, my mother-in-law bought me my sewing machine and gave me some basic sewing lessons, including how…

My Aunt is downsizing her scrapbook supplies, and let me have…

how to sew a dolls sleeping bag
I was made aware of an issue my daughter has. She has 7 dolls, but only one bed in her doll house. Apparently it is causing a ruckus over at doll HQ, so my daughter has enlisted me to make her dolls some beds. I’m not going to be able to make a bed as fancy as the one that came with her dollhouse, but I can sew up some…

You’d be forgiven for thinking otherwise, but Spring is just around the corner… I cannot wait for the change of seasons! So to celebrate, I decided to try my hand at making a wreath!

While the end product…

how to personalize your doormat
Our current front doormat has seen better days. It actually belonged to the previous owners, and as I am slowly getting around to putting a personal touch all around our home, I decided to update our doormat. And as I couldn’t find one in the stores I liked, I figured I would just make one! After finding this SVG file on Etsy, I knew I had found the perfect design…

how to make a cake banner with scrap fabric
Today’s scrap busting project is this nifty little cake banner. As a sewist who is still trying to perfect the craft, I feel like I collect a lot of small bits of fabric. I don’t know if I am cutting in the most economical way. I can’t bring myself to throw them away and contribute to landfill issues, so I have decided to use up every little last bit of…
