Wrapped Wreath

Love the color blocking on this wreath! Perfect for spring and made from (wait for it)..... vintage bed sheets!! Of course, you could do the same thing with your favorite fabrics instead if you don't have any vintage sheets around.

Camera Strap with a Lens Cap Pocket

When I get around to making another project for myself-this is going to be it. I really like the handmade strap I have currently on my camera, but this one is so much more practical!! It has a little pocket right on the strap for the lens cap. And I'm always losing my dang lens cap (I need to start putting it in the same pocket every time). Fantastic solution from HoneyScrap!! See the tutorial here.

Homemade Butter

I've been really intrigued lately by skills that teach you how to get back to the basics. Like "pioneer", "I can live off the land" skills. Today, I found a recipe for making your own butter that sounds so easy, kids can get involved! I wonder if it's cheaper to make your own butter or buy it?

Get the recipe and ingredient suggestions from Maize in Montana here.

Party Dress Pattern

I don't normally love "froofy" dresses, but this one is just right-formal but still simple lines. And I love the wide sash!! I can imagine it in so many fabrics for so many occasions. Bookmarked it for Storey's Easter dress this year.The full tutorial (and pattern) from The Cottage Home here.

Ruffle Headband

I love these little headbands. You could even make the ruffle portion as a slipcover for an existing headband (I don't love the elastic going around my neck). A great project for fabric scraps!

Polka Dot Mobile

Storey is almost too big for her crib at this point, but I think this mobile would be adorable over a "big kid bed" too. So simple, so cute.

Wooden Pallet Reading Nook

I keep coming across these amazing furniture tutorials that I really want to build in our next house (when we have more room and the majority of our stuff is no longer in storage). This reading nook was built from wooden pallets. Amazing.
