Lots of Creative Projects using your SCROLL SAW!

December 30, 2020 by Bethany Sy

As I was looking over the 100+ tutorials I’ve done since purchasing this old farmhouse, I noticed just how many projects I’ve done using my Scroll Saw!  And who doesn't love scroll saw ideas!! It’s my favorite tool by far, and the very first power tool I ever laid my hands on. I’m constantly getting emails asking what scroll saw I use (this one!), and there are SO MANY creative things you can do ... [ Read More ]

Repurposed Vintage Hankies

November 7, 2019 by Bethany Sy

I'm a sucker for all things vintage and sentimental, so loving repurposed vintage hankies comes naturally to me. Even though they're meant to blow your nose in them. Can you believe our grannies did that into this beautiful fabric? Since making our DIY Vintage Hankie Garland a few months ago, I've seen several amazing projects using repurposed vintage hankies. I thought it would be ... [ Read More ]

4-Year-Old Gift Guide

March 7, 2019 by Bethany Sy

Our girl turned 4 last week, and I just CAN'T. Something about my youngest going from 3 to 4 feels like I'm losing my baby. I know she'll always be my baby... blah blah blah. But age 4 definitely seems more big-kiddish. And the moment she starts calling it an 'umbrella' instead of 'Gumbrella' I will seriously lose it. Despite her Birthday being in February, Cypress decided LAST FALL she ... [ Read More ]

Wood Wall Art Challenge Roundup

May 15, 2018 by Bethany Sy

A couple weeks ago, Nick and I hosted a big ol' collaboration involving a TON of other makers, bloggers, and YouTubers called the Wood Wall Art Challenge. It was SO FUN! Everyone made their own unique wooden artwork, and the creativity was so inspiring! The only parameters were that the art be square (but any size!) and be made of 'mostly wood'. We've never been accused of being legalistic. I ... [ Read More ]

Brilliantly Creative DIY Cake Stands

April 18, 2018 by Bethany Sy

I think it’s safe to say that DIY Cake Stands are the BEST because there’s such instant gratification (for the most part). Typically it’s not a long drawn-out process like a furniture build or painting trim in a sunroom. And often you can find the parts you need for a DIY Cake Stand (or cupcake stand!) at a thrift store or flea market! I’ve gathered up a TON of ideas for inspiring DIY Cake ... [ Read More ]

Upholstered Headboard Ideas for Kids!

March 21, 2018 by Bethany Sy

We’re no strangers to DIY headboards, or even upholstered headboards specifically! In fact, these are some of our most popular posts! (I’ll share them below) When we finished the twins’ big girl room, complete with the upholstered headboard for kids in the form of a Fainting Couch Toddler Bed, our girls must have gotten used to the softness because now they’re asking for a soft/cushy upholstered ...

Gift Ideas for 3-Year-Olds

February 19, 2018 by Bethany Sy

It’s hard to believe our girl Cypress is turning 3 years old this month. Time flies when you’re having fun! She has proven to be a pretty ‘spicy’ two-year-old, so we’ll see what 3 has in store for us. Sister is spirited to say the least. But also the sweetest, snuggliest toddler evah… a dangerous combo!   At the fresh age of 3, I don’t think there are ‘girl toys’ and ‘boy toys’. So ... [ Read More ]
