Equal parts edgy and sweet, I’m head over heels in love with this week’s DIY! The pearl flat backs – which I found in the Scrapbook section of Michael’s – add a feminine touch to this maroon Men’s beanie I picked up at Target. Inspired by the classic vibe of pearl details, I knew I …

Earlier this week, I shared my most recent DIY inspiration: metallic lace. Taking a tip from the likes of Bidermann and D&G, I used liquid gilding (which is made to look like metal) to add a flashy touch to lace trim. Prior to applying the liquid gilding, fabric stiffener was used to harden the lace. …
Every other month, I send 15-20 handmade cards the Elderly Nutrition Program to be distributed through Meals on Wheels. I typically make them sporadically, a couple here and there between projects, work, etc. In the volunteering ad that I came across a few months ago, the only requirements were that the cards be elderly-friendly and …
