From turquoise to carnelian, I think we can all agree that crystals are having a moment right now. And while I dig them more so for their aesthetics, they’re prime crafty real estate in my mind. (I don’t resonate with the concept of healing energies, but if you do, that’s totally cool!) For me, they’re just waiting to be transformed …
Happy International Women’s Day! In honor of all the badass women out there, here’s a spring project inspired by none other than the Venus sign, a gender sign that stems from astrological symbols. The idea came about while brainstorming crafty ways to create the Venus sign, a symbol that has gained so much significance in …
No matter the shade of your green thumb, air plants are always a win. Aside from the fact that they are ridiculously easy to care for, they don’t need any soil. This means they can hang out on (almost) anything and everything, which is great news for us crafty folks. For example, do you eat …
In my mind, pancakes are like the canvases of breakfast food. The simplicity of a basic recipe leaves so much room for customization. Love cinnamon buns? Add cinnamon swirls and cream cheese frosting for cinnamon roll pancakes. Add chopped fruit, dried fruit, or all of the above. If you’re feeling savory, add some veggies and …
Ah, tofu. Where would non-meat eaters be without this protein-packed food? It’s the poster child of versatility, especially when you consider that it’s available in a variety of thicknesses. Silken tofu makes for an awesome sauce, but when it comes to the extra firm kind, you can be sure that I’m making baked breaded nuggets. …
Regardless of how you feel about Valentine’s Day, you can’t deny the fun treats that come along with it. Personally, I am more of a Galentine’s Day kind of lady. There’s something really refreshing about defying the typical Valentine’s Day expectations, because if I’m being honest, the sparkly diamond necklaces and oversized teddy bears just …
Over the past few years, I’ve significantly pared down my stash of toiletries. Seriously, I used to have so much that I never used. We can thank moving across country multiple times and many episodes of The Minimalists, one of my favorite podcasts. But if there is one thing I will never give up, it’s …
As someone who loves to prove that healthy food doesn’t have to be boring (or expensive), I’m all about making nutritious treats. Let’s just say my sweet tooth is definitely alive and well. Thankfully, it only acts up every now and then, but when it does, the craving is real. But that’s where healthy desserts …
Embroidery is having a serious moment right now, and I’m all about it. If you follow me on Instagram (@kirsten_nunez), this will come as no surprise. Stitching paper is one of my favorite ways to create altered art, especially if it involves super old vintage photos and functional items like notebooks. So when DMC Embroidery …
Few things make my heart skip a beat like booze-infused treats. I mean, I don’t even drink much, but there’s something so intriguing about using alcohol to make something ordinary, like pie or ice cream. (Wine ice cream, anyone) It’s one of those ingredients that can steal the show on its own. As for gummy bears, one …
When it comes to birthdays and holidays, I always (always) try to gift something that’s homemade, whether it is made by me or someone else. I also make it a goal to choose an item that truly speaks to the person’s interests, likes, and hobbies. I mean, let’s be real… who needs more junky useless …
