The following post is sponsored by Wayfair Ready for a peek at our outdoor oasis in the California desert?! This month, I partnered with Wayfair to not only try out this DIY cornhole makeover inspired by the 70s but share a look at our backyard patio. When we first moved into our Palm Desert home in September, we knew we wanted to invest in our backyard immediately. One of our first ma[...]
Even though I'm no sewing guru, I do try to practice new sewing projects to improve. It's much easier to get better at something when you make a point to keep up with it. When I don't touch my sewing machine for a whole month, I feel like I lose a lot of the skill I built up previously, so even little projects like hemming my new curtains keep me feeling comfortable with my machine.

The following post is sponsored by Cricut Let's talk about boho bedroom decor today! In the process of planning decor ideas for our home, I couldn't really pinpoint my exact decor style. As much as I love true midcentury design, I discovered I was often attracted to eclectic and bohemian decor styles too! Now I'm learning to infuse midcentury, boho and eclectic vintage decor into my ho[...]
The following zodiac-themed treat bags post is sponsored by Cricut I've always loved the stars, and where I grew up had such little light pollution that it was the perfect place to stargaze. After so many years in the "city," I felt like I barely ever saw stars anymore. Now that we're in the desert, it's a small community where I can see more stars at night and I LOVE it! So let's cele[...]
I don't know about you, but sometimes I find that Easter decorations can come across really cheesy. Don't get me wrong - I love cheesy!! Seriously, have you see my punny Easter eggs?! I just prefer more modern Easter decor in our home (same goes for all holidays, really). Typically, I don't decorate a lot for Easter. We spend the holiday with my parents, and my mom always makes it a fun o[...]
I know it's been a few weeks since my last post, but it's for good reason - I have been BUSY! Most recently, I partnered with my long-time client Belgian Boys to make a bright and elegant spring tea party, complete with three easy treats to make with Belgian Boys cheesecakes, mini pancakes and mini cakes. No spring tea party would be complete without tulips, so I filled the table with flo[...]
The following post is sponsored by Cricut Yup, I'm THAT person. Today I'm celebrating Milo's first birthday! I've partnered with my friends at Cricut to share three easy DIYs to make for celebrating a dog or cat birthday. After all, they're our best friends and our family. I tend to enjoy the cheesy things in life (food and otherwise, ha!) so this was a fun project to make for my littl[...]
If you told me a year ago I'd be making COVID valentines, I certainly would not believe you. Yet, here I am almost a year into this pandemic "quarantine" making printable soap valentines for COVID (after all, might make these crafts useful). Now, I don't want you to think I'm making light of such a dire situation - I'm just here to attempt to bring a little cheer to Valentine's Day when s[...]
The following post is sponsored by Cricut I'm sure we're all missing our old lives these days (I know I am) and missing our friends, so as we head toward Valentine's Day, why not send them a little DIY gift basket to let them know you care? One thing I've learned as a DIYer is that you don't have to spend a lot of money to give a thoughtful gift. Cricut makes it easy to personalize ite[...]
Anyone else still not over Christmas? Taking down the decorations was extra hard this year, but I'm moving onto the next major holiday - Valentine's Day! I don't normally do much decorating for Valentine's Day, but since I've taking a break from weaving the last couple months to focus on the house, it was nice to get back to it. After some experimenting, I came up with this cute, simple h[...]
