Hey there. Get rid of those gift bags because we’re coming at you today with a quick little knitting project that’s the perfect topper for that bottle of wine or liquor you’re giving this Christmas (we have a few suggestions below). Continue reading
Today we’re rounding up past Christmas crafts. While Sarah was busy ordering gifts yesterday, I was finishing up the decorating. I love to get everything up as soon as possible so that there’s plenty of time to enjoy it (plus, I need the decorating out of the way so that I have every extra moment left to think about gift shopping!). If you’re taking your time and in need of decorations, we put together a list of past DIY projects that we made, love, and we’re excited to put out again this year.
This list provides a range of projects from those that can be finished in 30 minutes to others that may take a few hours, and the skill-level required varies from the simple to the more complex. In addition to decorating your house, some of these projects like the felt and cinnamon ornaments make great gift tags. What we have here is a little bit of something for everyone.
Since these spirits magically change from a nice deep blue color to pink, they have unicorn written all over them. But I’m on a narwhal kick this year, remember these shakes?! So narwhal it is.

There’s no question that I’m biassed, but I’m so excited to share these DIY gifts with you. Continue reading
Is there a birthday coming up in your family? We’ve just had two in our house during the month of April. Since COVID-19 has turned the world on its head, we put our thinking caps on and came up with a great formula for celebrating in cyberspace. Continue reading
Hello Friends! We’re just back from our bi-annual month-long vacation. Just like you, we never see these breaks coming, but we’re always so happy to be back!
So, let’s just jump back into. We’ll catch you up on our adventures in another post.
Jingle bells batman smells… We’re back with another round up of Christmas crafts, but this time they’re ones you can gift to your friends. On Monday, we shared delicious treats that are perfect for giving and today we’ll round out your gift list by adding a few non-edibles for your loved ones. These DIY gifts range from easy to advanced (mostly because of the ingredients), but we explain everything you’d ever need to know in the posts, so hop to it! We also sell a few of these items in our Live Seasoned etsy shop if you’re low on time. All of these homemade gifts have natural, gentle ingredients perfect for any loving home. We also love to pair these items with other handmade goods to really amplify the maker aspect of these presents. We love supporting other crafters and creators so after you whip up these potions, browse around on etsy for perfect pairing gifts if you think your loved ones deserve a little more this holiday season.
As we roll into the last week of October, the Halloween excitement is palpable in our house. The boys have reached amazing ages where they are super excited about the holidays, and they enjoy a good holiday craft.
If you’re in the same boat, you have plenty of time to make these Halloween t-shirts before Wednesday…

Happy Monday! It’s go time. You have a week and a half to figure out a Halloween costume. Last week we shared the Broken Doll and Max from the Wild Things and in the past, Katie offered up a few toddler suggestions: a Disco Ball and a Strong Man. Today I’m back with another super simple, yet iconic costume: a Troll Doll. Again, you must forgive the crappy cell phone pics. One of these days I’ll document a costume properly…
I dressed up as a Troll in 2010. At that time it was a throwback, Troll dolls being hella popular in the nineties, but now that the Trolls movies are such a hit, I feel like everyone will be clued in. Even though only a few people guessed my costume correctly back then, when I told them what it was they immediately knew, flipped out, jumped up and down and most gave me a hug. The next question was always about the hair, which every single person then squeezed. Troll dolls man, nostalgia in one cute and slightly strange costume. Here’s how it’s done: 
That’s that y’all. There’s really nothing to it. This costume is especially great for a whole gaggle of friends. Whatever you do, don’t forget to strike the Troll pose – arms out, fingers spread! Look at those cute little creeps!
I may be a bit biased, but I think we’ve found the cutest Max of them all! Don’t know what I’m talking about? Pick up a copy of Where the Wild Things Are and get ready for a trip down memory lane.
If you’re making this costume for a kid, they will get so much more enjoyment out of it if you’ve read the book together. Obvious, I know, but just a plug to get yourself to the library and enjoy an afternoon deep in the stacks with your wild ones.
