DIY

I love taking something that seemed useless and turning it into something fabulous!  DIY helps fill my need to create.  When I go to thrift stores and yard sales, I get an excited tingle all the way to my toes!  You never know what you might find and the possibilities are endless.  Every time I go to throw something away or put it in the donation pile, I think about what else I may be able to do with it.  I also like to be able to do as much household maintenance myself as possible.  Like the time I changed out our kitchen sink trap!  It was disgusting, but I felt so accomplished knowing I did it myself.  You never know what you might find here, so keep looking!

Turn a Yarn Box Into a Gift Box

Since I’ve joined a few new yarn clubs, I’ve accumulated a little collection of small cardboard boxes. These boxes are the fold over & tuck in kind, which are perfect to upcycle for a gift box. Way back in 2016 I did a similar post about re-purposing a tea box for a care package. This […] Read more…
