life lived creatively
I love taking something that seemed useless and turning it into something fabulous! DIY helps fill my need to create.

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!

Today’s post is all about the non-fabric-y things I found at the 100 mile yard sale. While I was super excited to find all the fabric deals I also found some great deals on future DIY projects. There were also some awesome things to see that were either out of my price range or wouldn’t […] Read more…

It’s officially fall y’all – even if it doesn’t feel that way outside! Today I’m going to be using leather scraps & old book pages to make a fun DIY fall wreath.

If you stopped by this past Monday, you may have seen my DIY Stitched Leather Bracelet post. I thought I’d show y’all some “no sew” ways to use leather scraps today. You can find all kinds of projects using leather scraps around the interwebs, but not all are easy to do. All of these projects […] Read more…
