It's no secret, I love felt flowers. Long before I became the Mrs. Meyer's Home Maker, I was making felt blooms and if I'm being honest, they weren't very good. It wasn't until I made my Fall Felt Wreath that I really honed in my felt flower skills and even learned a few tricks of my own. I love how versatile felt flowers can be. I've used them to make flower crowns, bouquets, wreaths, and even napkin rings. You saw them in my Mother's Day Bouquet project and on top of my Galentine's Day Cake. I've found that little felt blooms are cute no matter how you use them! Side note: I want ... Read More
DIY Backyard Botanical Print
When I was little we lived in a house that had an amazing backyard! We had a pool, a basketball court, and all of it was covered with huge shade trees. I played in that backyard for hours and hours in the summer and I always envisioned having a similar yard for my kids to play in. When we found our new house, Andrew and I immediately fell in love with the backyard. It is almost 100% shaded and has great climbing trees (or so Andrew tells me). The owner before us was quite the gardener, and she put really beautiful plants and landscaping around the entire perimeter. It definitely ... Read More
Father’s Day Pillow DIY
What do you get when you mix Sir-mix-a-lot and a dad who loves hunting? You get a pillow you're proud to give your father, that's what. For years, I have struggled to find the perfect gift for my dad. I bet some of you have similar struggles! My dad loves to hunt, but I never buy him hunting gear, because I have no clue what I'm getting. A few Christmases ago as I was struggling to come up with a gift, an idea fell into my head that I assume had to be from the Lord himself because it was so brilliant. As I closed my eyes I saw the phrase "I like big bucks and I cannot lie." ... Read More
When to Buy & When to DIY
I saw this post on Instagram last week and it had me rolling! If you are a crafter, then you know this is real life! You see something that looks relatively easy to make, and then 10s of dollars and a work week later, your project isn't...quite...what you hoped for. Ok it was actually a Pinterest fail. We live in an increasingly more Do It Yo-self world, and I think sometimes we makers put undue pressure on ourselves to MAKE EVERYTHING! Don't get me wrong, I am all for DIY-ing, but I do believe there are times to hang up your hot glue gun and just buy something already made. I know what ... Read More
DIY Rope Coil Basket
I came across a really cute rope basket DIY the other day where you use hot glue to coil rope and make it into a basket. I had some cord left over from my macrame table runner so I thought I'd give it a go. It was a huge fail. I hated dealing with the hot glue webs and the inside of the basket was super messy. I wasn't ready to give up though, and through MUCH trial and error I finally came up with a rope coil basket DIY that I loved! Here's how you do it. Materials • Rope or macrame cord • Hot glue - low temp • Embroidery thread • ... Read More
