Plants can feel what’s going on around them. It’s Mother Nature at its finest. According to my plant lady friends, plants can also hear when you sing to them. I totally believe it. After all, just because they don’t have ears doesn’t mean they can’t “hear” (feel) through different means. Nature is way more complicated …
Call me morbid, but I adore skulls. Not only are they pretty badass, but they boast such a historical, meaningful nature. Think about it. A person’s thoughts, feelings, and personality characteristics all stem from the brain that resides inside a skull. The physical features of a person are determined by the skull… from the jawline …
I have a confession to make. Up until a month ago, my vanity has been a hot mess. Being a crafty lady who makes things for work and play can get out of hand sometimes. I think my problem was having one too many jewelry holders – everything was everywhere. I finally got rid of …
This project has been sitting in the back of my mind for years. I’ve been on the hunt for the perfect lamp — a rectangular lucite type of lamp — to decoupage negatives on. Unfortunately, I haven’t had any luck, so I decided to try it out on a lantern. Admittedly, I think I like this concept so much more. To …
If you follow me on social media, you’ve probably caught a glimpse of the greeting cards that I regularly create and donate to the Elderly Nutrition Program. The organization provides card donations for local underprivileged elders who aren’t able to afford greeting cards and gifts, but would like to give them to friends and family. …
Whenever I get the chance, I make a few cards for the Elderly Nutrition Program/Meals on Wheels program. The organization includes handmade greeting card donations with meal deliveries, and also keeps the cards on hand at the office for elders who want to pick some up and gift to friends and family. Once I reach …
I’ve been gearing up for my book launch event, set to take place on June 12 in Brooklyn. Every book purchase will be accompanied by a gift bag! I wanted to go with reusable tote bags to not only encourage recycling (I’m all about these reusable shopping bags) but to further showcase the DIY ethic …
One of my favorite side projects from a couple months ago. An old canvas painted with black acrylic paint + silver metallic letters found in Target’s dollar bins. Any creative, crafty, artsy individual would surely agree with this statement! Xo, Kirsten
A few weeks ago, I whipped up this pretty little marbled number thanks to For the Makers’ Mojave Bowl kit. I adore mine! I use it to hold my most worn jewelry. Here’s to hoping I’ll stop misplacing them! Xo, Kirsten FTC Disclaimer: The Marbled Mojave Bowl kit was provided by For the Makers or …
Yesterday, I completed yet another batch of 20 handmade greeting cards to send to the Elderly Nutrition Program. I’m especially loving this round…the lace skirts are fun and feminine, the cherry hearts have that rockabilly touch, and the watercolor flowers are some of my favorite things to draw. If you haven’t seen my past posts …
On New Years, around 2am, I got super excited when I realized there was a huge pile of empty champagne bottles in my friends’ recycling bin. I asked to snag a few for a project that I’ve been meaning to work on. Luckily, they’re all extremely accustomed to obsessively crafty ways…so having me dig through …
