SISTERS

           

We wanted to see if we could find something fun to do during lockdown. 

Something we hadn't done for decades... If you're interested, click the link below and check out what we've been doing.

Valentine's Hearts and Danish Origami Adorn my Valentine's Day Trees

Why should Christmas have all the fun? I'm a true Tree Hugger. So, I like to make my own trees for the holidays and that includes Halloween and Valentine's Day. But then you still have to decorate them. And I love to make my own homemade decorations for the holidays. Maybe it's because I love to add my own touches to the tree or maybe it's because I'm cheap ;D but I like to make my own ornaments and I always have. From the time I was a little girl and would string popcorn and cranberries  to make my own garland to now. 

Anyway, if you are interested in making your own holiday hearts, just click on the link below to see how to do it. And, if you do, please share a comment below because I'd love to hear what you thought of this craft. And I think we should all spread a little love around - especially with Valentine's Day just around the corner. 

The Goonies and a Weekend at the Oregon Coast

Have you ever gone to the Oregon coast? Would you like to visit the Pacific Northwest? Did you watch The Goonies back in the 1980's? 

If you answered "Yes" to any of these questions, you might enjoy taking this Virtual Trip to the Beach.

Simply click on the movie below and travel with me. 

Valentine's Day Trees and Stitching

Valentine's Day is just around the corner, so of  course, I decided to make some Valentine's Day Trees, modeled after some Tulle Christmas Trees I'd made before.

Valentine's Day Inspiration Tree

Here was a two shades of pink tree I made one year. And here's a green version.

Another  previous tree I used for inspiration

These were super simple tabletop trees I made one year and I thought why not make a bigger and better set of Valentine's Day trees? So I did. If you'd like to see how I did it, just click on the link below and  watch the short video.

Plus, my sister and I used to cross-stitch and embroider so we decided to take  it up again and I thought I'd share a few stitching craft ideas I have with you all. So if you like to stitch or  create, you might want to click the link below to see what else I'm planning.

DIY Valentine's Day Striped Cake with Chocolate Drips

Would you like to make an EZ homemade cake  for Valentine's  Day? Well, I wanted to make a Striped, Chocolate Drip Cake and my last chocolate drip seized up when I poured it on the cold cake. But, since then, I've learned a couple tricks. If you'd like to see how I did it, click the link below and watch the short video. 

If you've made striped cakes, share your link in the comments, I'd love to get some new ideas and share some creative cooking.

DIY Valentine's Day Decorations to spread a little LOVE around

If you're interested in spreading a little love around your house, with inexpensive and EZ crafts, here are a few ideas on how you can do it. 

If  you can hold  a  paintbrush in your hand, and use a  cookie cutter, you can stencil some cute patterns on your towels, dishcloths and even shirts. And  if you can cross-stitch, you can make simple pillows  and  patterns to spruce up your house. Just  click on the video below to see how I do it. 

Valentine's Day Crafts - What the World Needs Now

2020 was a  difficult year in so many ways but now, with it behind us, I want to focus on What the World Needs Now -  Love,  Healing and Health. I hope you all will have a healthy and happy 2021 and I thought I'd share a few short little crafts I've been working on.
