It’s been so cold lately — everywhere, it seems — so I made a cozy winter DIY to help stay warm and add texture to my living room.
I upgraded a $20 knit throw using a few skeins of chunky yarn and transformed it into a textured, colorful tassel blanket. No pom poms here — just a simple, modern tassel detail. It’s an easy, budget-friendly project that gives mass-produced throws a custom, handmade look.
Easy 15-minute craft project suitable for kids or as a handmade gift for children.
While hunting through my craft stash for gift wrap for a child’s birthday, I stumbled on a few felt sheets and realized they’d make perfect little pouches. They can be charming gift packaging or a simple handmade present on their own.
This drawstring pouch is quick and simple to make — and great for kids to try. When I was young, I loved making things that looked more grown-up than “kid-made,” and this project gives that satisfying result without much effort.
Use these pouches to present small gifts, trinkets, or party favors for holidays and birthdays. Fill them with candy, tiny toys, or use them as stocking stuffers. Follow the steps below to make felt pouches in just a few minutes.

Jaemor Farms offers so much more than a single crop: apple orchards, blackberry patches, a bustling farm market, seasonal events, and plenty of picturesque fields to wander through. I visited several times and still found new corners of the farm to enjoy each trip.

I’d love to hear your reasons too. Here … Read more
Today is National Donut Day, and even though I don’t usually observe every food holiday, I couldn’t let this one slide. I love donuts too much to ignore an excuse to celebrate.

The weather in Atlanta has cooled down, so I moved a crafty afternoon outdoors and hosted a cozy campfire craft night.
