BFF Open House

 

Whew! Another week basically on the books. I hope everyone who celebrated had a Happy Easter! April is cruising right along. With all of the chaos and stress in the world, it's great to have a creative outlet. I keep seeing articles about what we Makers have always known...picking up an analog hobby (although yes, we have lots of digital/electronic tools too) is a way to refocus ourselves and reduce stress. So knitting, crocheting, sewing, papercrafts, etc.? We were ahead of the curve, right? 

An assortment of features from last week's party. Some ideas to Pin for next year, others to try yet this year!

Coffee Filters are such a versatile crafting material, and Steph Creates shared yet another way to use them in this Wild Daisy Wreath! 

Petticoat Junktion transformed a "seen better days" sale find into this beautiful Side Table, and I definitely vote for the "after" when it comes to the "before and after" which you can see in the post. 

Waste not, want not, especially with things being expensive. My French Twist shows how to make Fabric Scrap Twine because where there is fabric, there are always scraps. Perfect to use in other creative projects! 

Finally, got leftover Peeps? Save this idea for next year: Instant Pot Rice Krispies Treats using Peeps! From Crystal and Co. 

Thanks to everyone who linked up and can't wait to see what you've got in store this week!

Happy All Hallows Eve, Eve! It feels like it was just August when I started working on Halloween projects and all of a sudden the day is here! Whenever Halloween is on a Friday, that usually means even more weekend fun. I wish everyone a happy and safe Hallow-weekend. 

In my neck of the woods, the weekend will be filled with Halloween and three days of Dia de los Muertos festivities everywhere. 

As the Makers we are, of course I'm a season ahead when it comes to my craft room. This week I shared: 

Winter Wonderland Cigar Box Diorama

Repurposed Bottle Snow People

But before we fast forward, let's take a look at some of the great Fall ideas shared at last week's party! 

Petticoat Junction (grew up watching reruns of that fun show!) shared how she turned a find from a junk shop into a fabulous Metallic Tiered Tray, perfect to change out seasonally. 

Outside it may still be in the 90s by me, but inside, it's sweater weather! Sonata Home Design has a great way to repurpose an old one to make a Cozy Candle Wrap! 

Need a quick and easy Halloween treat there's still time to whip up? Drugstore Divas has you covered with these adorable Halloween Glow Stick Party Favors. 

Finally, there's always time for one more Halloween treat, and these Cookie Cutter Spider Cookies from Crystal and Co. are perfect! 

Thanks to everyone who linked up! 

Again, wishing everyone a

Blink. It's Friday Eve already again?! II'm not sure where the week went. It's been another lazy crafting week here. My primary and I have concluded that when I was sick a few weeks ago that it was likely the newsest COVID variant based on the symptoms at the time and the fact that I'm just draggy tired still. Took a test then and it was negative but I'm the QUEEN of inconclusive tests! Even when I took my first pregnancy test...it was supposed to be a + and only half of it appeared. Anyhoo, I'm fine...just low energy. 

So, let's take a look at what some of  YOU have been up to because your creativity is anything but lacking! 

Sonata Home Designs shared how to Decoupage Oyster Shells and Create Flower Wall Art. What a perfect project for Summer of year round beach dwellers. 

Birdz of a Feather shared one of the most genius ideas that serves double duty as A Bib Clip and a piece of Jewelry. As someone who's wished they had a bib a few times while dining, I'm including two pics of this. As jewelry, above and below:

Convert any napkin into a bib! Summer barbecues, clam bakes, lobster rolls, smashing crabs...

From Bay to Beach shared an awesome repurpose with this Summery Bar Cart from a Tea Cart. 

Finally, these Ice Cream Cone Cupcakes from Crystal and Co. are a festive and fun Summer treat! 

Thanks to everyone who linked up and wishing you all a creative weekend!
