What does a girl with a huge cupcake liner collection do with her cupcake liners? Make carrots! I can’t begin to tell you how many cupcake liners I have… I just can’t help it. I see a new color or print, I buy it. I have jumbo, standard, and mini in all sorts of colors and prints. Remember my spring wreath that I shared with you some weeks ago. If [...]
Do you prefer coffee or tea? For me, coffee is definitely preferred in the morning and early afternoon, but tea is my preferred choice in the evening. I’m not a fan of fruit flavored teas and no green tea for me please… Black teas, rooibos tea (red tea), or mint tea (peppermint counts too!) are the way I tend to go. I like two teaspoons of sugar (more for coffee [...]
A few days ago I was browsing 1001 Layer Cake blog. I don’t recall what lead me to this site, but whatever it was, I’m sure glad it did. As I was browsing the site, I came across this wedding bouquet that was made of roses that were made out of book pages. Even though I do prefer the fresh flowers bouquet, I still thought it was a pretty neat [...]
I hadn’t planned on making a new spring wreath because I still love the one that I have. I made this one a couple years ago and been using it since then. However, inspiration has struck which has prompted me to want to make a new wreath. The inspiration? These cupcake liners that I found in Michaels bargain section. Normally, I do buy cupcake liners for the purpose they were invented… [...]
On Wednesday I participated in another Anthropologie workshop. This time it was a gift basket making workshop. I wasn’t sure what to expect from this one or what it included, but nevertheless I figured it’s Anthro so it’s worth checking out. There were a lot more attendees at this event than the last one I attended. At our arrival, we were greeted with hot chocolate, juices, and an assortment of [...]
I can’t believe it’s already mid-week! Yikes. I have to confess I’ve been a bit of a slacker in the craft department for the past few days. Instead I’ve just been chilling and getting into some good books. But that doesn’t mean I don’t have anything to share with you. :) Today I’m going to share a project that I actually put together some time ago using my fabric scrap [...]
Last week on Tuesday I did a guest post over at Craftionary where I shared the how tofor a no sew snowman. Just in case you missed it, I thought to share it with you all right here on OTI… As you already may know, one of my favorite things about the winter time are snowmen! They are so stinkin’ cute! But sometimes it’s just too cold to go outside [...]
My mom had given me beautiful hand embroidered pillow cases that my grandmother had made. My grandmother was a very talented lady especially in hand embroidery. I wish I could show you all of her stunning work, but at least you get a glimpse of it with the pillow cases. I decided to frame her beautiful work to perserve them and my grandmother’s memories. Since the pillows are square [as [...]
Thanksgiving is almost here… and I can’t wait! I can’t wait for the turkey… the stuffing… all the goodies… and of course being with my family! Every year my mom makes Thanksgiving dinner and we all gather at my parents’ house, except last year for the first time, I made the dinner because my mom was out of town. Yup, I sure did! And surprisingly I made one heck of [...]
I received an unexpected order recently. It was for a wreath. I love wreaths. I do enjoy making them. However, it never crossed my mind to sell them. Nevertheless, I took the order. The order was from a friend who was getting it as a gift for her mother. Her mother wanted a wreath that could be used all year round but with fall colors. Well, this couldn’t have been [...]
