It has been a busy few weeks with holidays, birthdays, holiday shopping, decorating, and making things. But I’m glad to be back in the swing of things. I spent the last week and a half working on brand-new outside holiday decor. I used my jig saw, some paint, and lights to create this awesome decoration…

Artespix Artist Aprons
I have two boys in daycare. Recently they were learning about the different ways to decorate apparel. The daycare asked me if I could come in and teach the kids about it. What better way to learn than to create a project of their very own. As I was brainstorming about what type of project…
Etched Glass Plant Stand
I know I haven’t posted in a while, but I’m hoping that now my home life is a little more calm, with my kids going back to school, I can get back into the swing of things and start posting more regularly. I also would like to announce that I am now part of the…
Create String Art Designs in Silhouette Studio
I love creating string art. It is so much fun, and my kids love to string the string around the nails. The most tedious part for me is nailing in all the nails. But I have a trick that will help you get it right and get them all the same height. Once I figured…
Custom Gift Wrap and Tag with Your Silhouette

Print and Cut Cardstock Birthday Banner
So this past weekend was my youngest second birthday. He really likes monster trucks, so that was the theme we went with. We don’t have a whole lot of family in the area and with this whole pandemic, it was just our immediate family and my husband’s grandfather. So I didn’t go all out, but…
Foil and Cut Buttons
I just got the We R Memory Keepers Button Press and I absolutely love it. It is so much fun!! I’ve been making tons of buttons since I got it last week. I realize that I like using my cameo or portrait to cut the button picture out more than I like using the cutting…
Rolled Felt Flowers
Sometimes, I just need a quick “creative” fix. I love quick projects for the times when I have other stuff to do but just really want to make something. These types of projects give me a quick “pick me up” when I’m busy doing things that aren’t very exciting……you know, like cleaning the bathroom….
