How to Remove Shadows from Sidebar Images… (and other blog design issues)

I’ve been working lately on redesigning my blog. I almost decided to hire someone to do it, but I guess I am a DIYer at heart.

Having a Little Fun with Washi Tape

Ever since I got all of that fun washi tape at Target, I have been using it all over the house. I even decorated my little pencil storage boxes with strips of blue and green tape. I like that the pieces are all uneven and look torn. Look out everything other box in my house… I’ve got a lot of tape.

These felt spider mum flowers (chrysanthemums) are so easy to make. All you need is felt, scissors, and glue. What you do: 1. Cut strips of felt. I cut across the short side of a piece of felt so that the strips are 8.5 inches by 1.25 inches. You can play around with different sizes to make smaller or larger flowers. (Also, did you know that you can use a

Embroidered Letter Canvases

I have been wanting to play around with embroidering onto canvases for a while now. These mini canvases are perfect for this little project and I love how my R H initials turned out. They will fit perfectly in my new little craft space. First pick a font that you like (I used Bebas Nueve), print it off of your computer, and cut it out. Because I didn’t want to
