So happy to share a recent feature in Sew Magazine {sewmag.co.uk} of my easy DIY Tassel Curtains in which I turned store-bought curtain panels into unique, custom drapes for very little extra cost. * Find my original DIY Here I quickly, easily, and loosely hand-stitched the tassel trim onto the inner edges just in case …
In 2005 my cousin Kelley gave birth to her first baby girl, Avery… and for her baby shower, I painted a simple pink “A” on a yellow canvas with a few little flower details, to hang in the nursery. Avery, now 7, still has her “A” hanging in her room, which makes me a happy …
Last week I posted a little DIY paper flowers inspiration and was inspired most by the first two photos… the flowers on the mirrors, and wanted to recreate something similar in Delilah’s room at my mom’s house. She has a few mirrors in her room that needed a little sprucing up and I thought this …
Sometimes a simple and delicate necklace is all I’m looking for and while quite similar to my DIY rose gold charm bracelets, the simple curved line of this one has a little more edge to it. Worn short or long, together or alone, or even layered with a few other chains, I think these simple …
On a hunt for some chunky curb chain to use for another DIY project I had in mind, I found and bought this very thin copper chain of the same shape but very tiny in size. While it’s not right for the original project I had in mind, I think it’s lovely all the same …
Just thought a fun little gathering would be all the more festive with customized dip dyed chopsticks! Especially because, it’s relatively free! But shhhh… don’t tell Ralph’s that I snatched a handful of “free with Sushi purchase” chopsticks! I was hoping the Chinese food delivery the night before would come stocked with chopsticks but they …

A fun little leather heart keyring… just in time for Valentine’s Day. Makes for a cute handmade gift for your best friend, sister, mom, daughter, or maybe even a fun clue in a Valentine’s Day scavenger hunt… something along the lines of …the key to unlock my heart sounds perfectly cheesy to me, but also …
Not a ridiculously original DIY but easy, pretty, and versatile. I was wearing this vintage necklace around my wrist a few weeks ago and playing with it, I randomly held it up to my head, then instantly wanted to turn it into a headband. I love the rose gold and the chevron/leafy/Roman headpiece feel it …
Normally I’d rather not rip off artists {…big corporations are fair game, lol} but artists work hard to make a buck and art is art. HOWEVER when I saw these shell and coral sculptural decorative art pieces on gold bases by Eduardo Garza for sale at GILT Home the other day priced between $600-$1500 each …
I began this project at the end of September 2010 …got a shoulder done and realized just how time consuming it actually was. I worked on it Sundays during football through the end of October but then the Holidays hit and I haven’t had a second to revisit the project since {especially knowing there was …

I hope you like it… Email your whereabouts to [email protected] and I’ll send it to you asap. And for the rest of you …a …
While there were so SO many fantastic suggestions & submissions, given my time restriction this week, I admittedly chose this dainty doily necklace for my first Reader Request Maeg-it Yourself because it seemed the easiest & quickest to recreate. It turned out so cute I may have to make one for myself too! Find the …
I love a great nautical tabletop and rope napkin rings are so easy and inexpensive to make, you’d almost be a fool to buy them 😉 From rustic to nautical, Thanksgiving to the 4th of July, rope napkin rings work with nearly any color scheme or theme. I love them and use them year-round! Tip: …
I love my old tie bottoms {see below} …have had & worn them every summer since 2003 and it’s time to retire them. I bought a new pair sans ties at Victoria’s Secret {on sale for $11 now!} ….which reminded me of a bikini I had in the 80’s. The front and back are moveable. …
