A few years back when I first started blogging I shared how I did a mouse pad makeover. Well, fast forward 2.5 years later and 539 blog post later and I am in need of making over my mousepad once again! Since everyone knows by now I have a love for all things Washi Tape I had to make over a mouse pad using my beloved and favorite crafting supply! This project took me a little under an hour to create and has left a lasting impression on my desk in my craft room! Supplies: Mouse … [Read more...]
News flash: Mother's Day is less than 2 weeks away! Seriously, where has the time gone? For my fourth box from the 12 Months of Martha I decided to incorporate some of my supplies and make a mother's day mini scalloped bunting banner for a gorgeous pot of flowers. I've seen this done on cakes, so why not a flower arrangement. As I mentioned the other day in my haul video I got some pretty amazing product. I wanted to make something that utilized a lot of the products I received including the new … [Read more...]
First off, I apologize for being MIA all week. I have a very good reason. I've been enjoying the past few days from blog friends near and far at SNAP! in Utah. I'm rooming with Melissa from No. 2 Pencil and Kristin from Yellow Bliss Road. A few weeks ago it was announced that there would be a door decorating contest at SNAP! If your a blogger and you've ever prepared to leave for a conference you know that there are endless chores that need to be completed before going on vacation none-the-less … [Read more...]
Today is a very special day... it's Mr. Woodsy's birthday! We typically don't exchange BIG birthday gifts and sometimes we don't exchange any gifts at all. This year I decided to splurge and get Mr. Woodsy a GoPro camera. He has been eyeing that camera for years, and well I finally made his dreams come true. I wanted to give him the camera before our cruise (last week). It just so happened that the camera and accessories arrived at our mailbox last Monday, and I was off work. So operation pick … [Read more...]
Today I'm sharing a super simple craft to spruce up your dinning room table for Valentine's day! We have tons of flameless candles throughout our home and I thought it would be cool to add some glitter tape and a heart charm to our flameless candles in honor of Valentine's day! Last month I received a fun craft package from Darice with a wide variety of craft supplies in it. If you follow me on instagram you might remember seeing the photo. Supplies: Flameless Candle Sparkle … [Read more...]
For those that don't know Mr. Woodsy and I are heading off today for our "once in-a-lifetime" vacation that we've been planning for a very long time. We are going to Europe! Don't fret. While we are enjoying our vacation we've enlisted some of our favorite blogs and friends to share Fall and Halloween projects with our Sew Woodsy readers. Our first guest blogger for us is Brittany from Pretty Handy Girl. We met Brittany in real life at Haven this summer and instantly fell in love with her. … [Read more...]
Each Saturday, I showcase a hand made card. Card making has been a hobby of mine for quite some time now. I think it was how I really got into making so many other crafts. I'm glad that I decided to finally to start showcasing the cards I make on a weekly basis. Friends and family always are impressed and think that card making can be so incredibly difficult. It's not. Well, it can be as complex or simple as you make it. That's why I love the new David Tutera Paper Crafts line. It is as … [Read more...]
Back in the spring, I had the opportunity to guest post over at Skip to My Lou during Teacher Appreciation month. I shared how to make this easy washi tape notebook.

Supplies: Notebook 4 varieties of washi tape scissors 1. Start for the right top corner and carefully begin placing your washi tape across the front … [Read more...]

I know everyone is eagerly anticipating this post... well maybe not, but I'm sure glad I could finally divulge my secret project for Mr. Woodsy! February just so happens to be his birthday month and although his birthday is towards the end of the month I wanted to do a month long countdown. He's not hitting a milestone year or anything... I just figured it would be fun. And... I'll admit--I feel a tad guilty. You see, I failed to fill his advent calendar for Christmas last year. Some of you may … [Read more...]
