Welcome!

I started a blog soon after my son was born last year so that friends and family could watch him grow up. But I found that I sometimes strayed from my posts about him to other things I was interested in. Mainly crafting and interior design ideas. In an effort to separate the two, I started a new blog and here it is!

I have never considered myself to be "crafty", but I am not afraid to try new projects / ideas. I am no Martha Stewart that is for sure, but I aspire to become more creative with every new project I try. I will only post projects / ideas that I would actually do myself or that I have done. There is nothing worse than trying to make something by reading only written directions. I like pictures, so I will post step by step pictures of things I do.

As for my design style, I am obsessed with Pottery Barn and West Elm. I don't care much for their prices, however, so I try to do a mixture of expensive and inexpensive pieces in my house. I use coupons / discounts whenever I can and will search nab a good deal when I see it.

I would love to hear from you about ideas for crafts and other design projects. Feel free to comment or e-mail me anytime.
