Something I feel makes my home feel cozy is personalizing it. I like filling my home with things I have made, whether it is a pretty cross stitch pattern to adorn the wall, or an aromatic meal to fill the air and our tummies. Which is why I think investing in a sewing machine is…
Happy Halloween!!! How are you celebrating? Our biggest event today is Trick or Treating. My kiddo has changed her mind at least umpteen times about her costume, so it will be interesting to see what she will finally dress up as! Aside from that, it is pretty exciting because the kiddo has no school, and…
Making this Halloween Bean Bag Toss game has been one of the easiest and fun crafty projects to date. I got the idea for it when I was looking for something completely unrelated, and came across this Bluely Bean Bag toss game I just took the idea for this game and added some Halloween to…
As much as I am excited about Halloween, I am also super duper excited by another holiday in this season. IT’S DIWALI!! (It will be on Monday 24th October 2022) Diwali is a festival celebrated in many cultures (Hindu, Sikh, Jain, and some Buddhists), and a central theme of the festival is the celebrating the…

Halloween Cardboard Silhouette Window Display Our living room is the room large cardboard boxes hang out until recycling day. It’s the only room in the house that isn’t quite functional. Considering we just moved in late July, I still think we aren’t doing too badly! Although the room isn’t going to be quite ready to…
Sew Your Own Tote Bag Personally, I like using a tote bag instead of a handbag/purse for everyday use. If I’m going somewhere where I need to carry a traditional handbag, I like being able to tuck in a tote bag, just in case I accidentally fall into a fabric store and end up bringing…
Have you seen Beejay Olson’s Skull Flowers?? Aren’t they just… magical? One day, I hope to be able to order one of his fantastic Halloween decorations. Right now, we are focused on making the inside of our cozy, magical home a little more functional. I should really get around to buying a sofa… So until…
