Today I’m sharing a little side-project I’ve been working on. I recently started a new site with one simple focus, free box templates. It’s mostly been a little experiment of mine as I’ve been learning about basic design and how to use Adobe Illustrator. I recently finished up an Illustrator course taught by Alma, from [...]

Nicola from Next to Nicx made these gorgeous hot air balloon decorations from an Ikea lamp and tea set. She used them for a baby shower, but I think they would add such a lovely touch to a little girl’s room, especially little girls with a penchant for throwing tea parties. See the tutorial at [...]

Have you noticed that posts have been rather inconsistent around here lately? I have. I get enormous satisfaction out of finding projects that I want to make for my kiddos and sharing them with you folks. I have a ton of items starred in my reader, a few submissions waiting to be posted, and another [...]
