My color scheme for Christmas this year is silver & white. I wanted a different wreath for my front door other than a standard pine wreath that I normally use. I used deco-mesh for the first time when I made my fall wreath that I previously shared & I really love how simple it is …

Welcome to Our Crafty Mom! I have always loved flokati rugs and have been wanting to recover an old bench I have had forever in this faux fur. I picked some up beautiful faux fur at Joann Fabrics for 60% off. What a steal! This bench started out in a tapestry fabric about 25 years ago. …
I was going through my Christmas decorations and found a bin filled with gold beads that I hadn’t planned on using on my tree this year. They were so pretty & I wanted to do something with them. Beaded Christmas Wreath I picked up a foam wreath at the Dollar Tree …

My Mom took art lessons the last few years of her life & I remember how happy …
I have finally accepted the fact that I will probably never have an entire room devoted to creating, but that is ok because what I do have are two large closets in the master. As I really only need one, I decided to make the second closet into a craft closet. There are all sorts of …
I found this awesome glass bottle at Job Lot for $5. They called it a “moonshine bottle” which I thought was funny, but it looked like a demijohn to me. I kick myself for not buying the blue one too as when I went back to get it they were gone! Well, I was browsing …
