I am no Bakerella, and Joy the Baker has no need to fear as I hardly ever enter my kitchen to cook or bake. I do make a good cup of tea though and frequently throughout the day need to enter the kitchen to “put the kettle on” as my Irish friend, Neve says :) [...]

How to make over dollar store fake flowers

I know terrariums and succulents are all the rage right now, but I have to admit – they hold no appeal for me. I love nature and like to bring living things into my home whenever I can, but I go for it in the way of flowers. Big flowers with huge blooms like hydrangeas [...]

How to Make a Tissue Paper Flower Valentine Gift Box

In Detailed Order: Organizing My Desk Drawer

January 30, 2012

Last week I lined my desk drawer with pages from a thrift store book on lettering. I love how it turned out, but since the drawer is nice and big, it needed some sort of dividers to keep everything from shifting around. Dividers would also make it easy to find things and maintain as well [...]
