DIY Sailor's Knot

I just stumbled across this DIY via Design*Sponge and about fell out of my chair. How wonderfully perfect is this? I have been debating ordering this knot doorstop, but now I might just make my own instead!

Paper Garland

So this year I got a little crafty with our Christmas decorations. I made this garland out of gold and silver paper, a rubber stamp, a 1.5" hole punch, fishing line and a hot glue gun. Here are my little how-to pictures for some lovely and super easy DIY garland! Merry Christmas!

Quilting with Maw Maw

So lately I have been in a crafting craze. I spent a few days with my grandmother this past weekend finishing a quilt we started when I was a teenager.. and after years of off and on sewing it's finally DONE! Not only did we produce a beautiful quilt, but we also had a blast doing it. There's not much better than spending time with Maw Maw and learning how to sew from the master seamstress.

Feeling crafty.. and I like it.

Stopped by my favorite and my Sailor's least favorite store yesterday, good 'ol Hobby Lobby! Picked up a $3 twig wreath, some faux leaves and this Happy Thanksgiving sign for half off. I love how everything is always on sale there. A hot glue gun, some wire and a couple of Glee episodes later, this was my creation.. It makes me love our front door so!

Etsy Love of the Day

First, I want to apologize for my abrupt absence in posting for the last week or so. I have been a bit under the weather, but I'm back!

Ok now that that's taken care of, here is my Etsy Love of the Day! How great is this boat patterned fabric from AuntJune!






This post just puts me in the mood for some wedding table setting inspiration. Perhaps not this exact boat fabric, but I know for sure that I want patterned fabric for my table linens.
