Yep! You read that right... coffee grounds. 
I've seen people make clay from scratch using instant coffee but today I'm experimenting with store bought air dry clay and coffee grounds. 
You know, the grounds leftover from making a pot or cup of coffee. 
Other than using them in the garden, I was sure there must be other good uses for it so here goes...

With Valentine's Day quickly approaching I thought I could get one or two more projects finished before it was time to put it all away!
That's the way it works for me, I just keep making things until it's time to pack them all away for another year. 
I've seen a lot of projects lately using vintage buttons on barnwood and it gave me a good idea. 
Grab your vintage button collection and a scrap of fabric and follow along!

If you've been around a while you may remember the small heart wired garland I made last year. 
This year I'm creating a similar garland only I'm giving a new decoupage technique a try. 
This cute little wired garland can be wrapped around pegs, baskets or gifts.

Valentine's Day is on the way! Isn't it nice to have a holiday every now and then to decorate for?
Do you decorate for Valentine's Day? Truth be told, I decorate a little, mostly with the projects I'm making for all of you! 
My husband's and my anniversary are just a couple of days before Valentine's Day, so it just makes sense to have hearts around! 
This project is using a transfer paper I found online.  I'm using cardboard because it's cheap and the transfer paper because it's beautiful!

You may have known this one was coming... it's getting close to time to decorate for Valentine's Day and you would think I'd have about a zillion options at this point but I don't. 
I'm going with simpler decorating, especially for holidays like Valentine's Day. 
Today I'm using cardboard again, everyone has cardboard, especially right after Christmas! 
So grab a box and a little paint and follow along!

Today I'm documenting a project I've had in mind for a very long time. 
My ideas for this project have changed several times so I'm glad I didn't get started until I was sure. 
I'm painting all the interior doors on my first floor and it is kind of a funny story. 
I'm in love with the color and it might not be what you think...

Today I'm trying a new product! 
Just in time for Valentine's Day, I had a couple of wooden X's and O's to experiment with. 
This kind of Valentine decoration is right up my alley with it's antiqued edges and black and white neutral vibe!

Today I'm making an easy banner you can hang up all winter or just when you are expecting snow like we are this weekend! 
This is an easy project and I'm including the printables I created for this project. 
Not a snow lover? This project can be customized to say anything you want it to and the vintage look is perfect if you're a fan of old and distressed.

This project is the result of a little bit of experimenting with paint.  
Sometimes I just love to mess around with paint and see what happens. Today's happy accident gave me the look of vintage metal on an old bowl that I was tired of being white. 
Sometimes I win and sometimes I lose but today's experiment was a winner!

I made the cutest mini garland today on a whim. 
I had no plans to do this, I had my new watercolor paints out and it just kind of happened. 
This garland is so tiny and is great to hang on small places like a small wreath. 
You may even have everything you need at home right now!

I have a new hobby I want to share with you today. Yes, another new hobby! 
I have been making candles, it is just about my favorite thing to do right now. I get to make them, burn them, share them and just enjoy doing something fun and pretty easy! Not to mention it is much less expensive than buying them! 
You might be surprised at just how easy it can be to make candles.

Happy New Year everyone!! 
With the new year comes a new home decorating project.  You see, I have this wall in my kitchen...
Most of my first floor is open flooring including the new kitchen, but there is this wall that was too big and too blank compared to everything else in the house. Most of the walls in my kitchen are windows, except this one. 
I've had many ideas but never got around to doing anything with it, until now.
Take a look...

Happy New Year friends! 
Today I'm making an easy project repurposing some vintage clothespins I've had laying around.  
I can't believe how quick and easy this cute project was or how much a popular site was selling them for! 
Let's start this new year out with one of my favorite things to do... repurpose vintage finds!
