crotchet rocket




Not much of a DIY. Doilies are something you probably associate with your grandma. I happen to think they're quite pretty when used appropriately. I found these at the dollar store and sewed them to my plain green pillows. Gave them texture and a vintage-y sophistication (or grandma-y, you decide).

bands of heads



These fabric flowers are nothing new in the craft world (great intructions can be found here) and are so extremely easy to make that I almost feel bad posting about them. I saw some headbands with these flowers being sold for around $8 at a store in Cedar City and decided to make my own with some cheap headbands from the dollar store. I made more flowers and glued them to pins which could then be attached to just about anything. Headbands are expensive. Make your own. Unless you're Jeffery.

girls just wanna have fun (and steal each others sweaters)




These cardigans were once plain and boring until I decided to make them super girly by adding flowers and ruffles. I made the flowers (instructional here) from a toddler shirt of a simliar color I bought for a dollar at the DI.

My cupcakes bring all the boys to the yard


I love cupcakes. I also love pretty plates and other dinnerwear. I'm building a pretty big collection of random cups and bowls and plates that I keep only for the great designs on them. When I ran across this idea for a cake stand I got really excited that I might be able to put my clutter to good use. Not that I really have clutter in any form other than plates. I made these with cups and vases that I found at the thrift store.
