Lucky Leprechaun Bell

St. Patrick’s Day is almost here!  I’ve been playing with Terra-cotta pots & put together a Leprechaun that is also a dinner bell.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

Luck of the Irish Sign

If you’re looking for an easy way to add a little Irish decor to your home for St. Patrick’s Day, this is it.  It’s simple enough for the Wee Ones to do, but looks like it was purchased instead of the usual kid’s crafts.  Adults can really get creative with this project, too.

St. Patrick’s Day Sharpie Plates

I’ve been wanting to make Sharpie plates ever since I saw them on YouTube a couple of years ago.  And when a very special girl gave me a set of new Sharpies for Christmas, I had to do this.  (Thank you, Amanda)  Making special plates for St. Patrick’s Day seemed to be the right time to try this craft.  It was a little time consuming, but very relaxing.  It reminded me of when I was little & spent hours upon hours coloring in my coloring books.  I’m so happy with the results.  Here’s how I did it.

Canvas Clock with Bling

When I’m in my craft room, I have a tendency to lose track of time.  There have been times when I’ve become so engrossed in a project that I’ve watched the sun come up.  One of the last times I did that, I realized that I needed a clock in there.  But, knowing me, I couldn’t just buy a clock… I had to make one.

Here’s the latest project for my craft room.  A DIY Canvas clock… With Bling.

Diamond Candle Ring

In my New Year Tablescape, I used this Diamond Candle Ring as the centerpiece.  It was very easy to make and can be used any time of the year.  I love the way it sparkles whether it’s from sunlight or candle light.

Here’s how I made it.

Spaghetti Pie

Spaghetti Pie is one of those recipes that I’ve had in my recipe box for years.  What does it taste like?  Spaghetti pie is a cross between Pizza, Spaghetti & Lasagna all rolled up in one.  It’s an easy meal to make & tastes just as good reheated as it did on the day you made it.  It has become one of my son’s favorites and he asks to have it packed for his lunch to take to work.  I hope you like it… we do.

Cookies For Santa

Merry Christmas everyone!

This week’s tablescape, as well as our entire house has a Santa theme.  It was inspired by a little plate that I found at Walmart.  It had just enough whimsy to touch my heart.  I hope you enjoy it.
