Penguin Appetizers


I once saw these in a movie and laughed because they were so strange. I have since changed my mind and think that they are rather charming.

Make Your Own Gift Box


Stop looking for that perfect box or bag to fit your gift in. Why not make one? This tutorial takes you step by step into making your own, unique, handmade gift box.

Darling Tulle Tutu Tutorial


These darling Tutus are all the rage now. You can pay upwards of $50 for one at a local boutique. I saw them for even more in the mall. However, if you pick your favorite hour of TV and grab a couple of supplies and you can make your little one's day with a great new dress up!

Window Sill out of Nothing




Martha has great ideas doesn't she! She has this great way of changing an ordinary window into a cute shelf. I think that I am going to try this in my dining room. I have a window there that I have been wanting to put a buffet but I don't want it to take up too much space. This idea is perfect.

Champagne Cork Chair


While living in the Dominican Republic, I was entranced by a man that elaborately ornate miniature tables and chairs out of soup cans. You had to look very closely at them to realize that they were cans maticulously cut, twisted and gathered into shapes. I love the idea of this chair for that reason.

Amazingly Fabulous Drawers

I absolutely love to refinish furniture. Nothing is ugly or out of date with the right finish. I saw this dresser and thought "Oh Yeah!" I have to try this one.
