DIY Weekend ProjectsNow that we have a bed in the guest bedroom, it's time to rework that room a bit to make it work. Right now the bed is so large (and the room is so small) that the door won't even open all the way!! So one of the things on our to-do list for the near future is to put in a sliding door, and maybe eve…

bunny place card holdersI decided to make some seating cards for the Easter table. Originally I was going to use just some sculpey and make a circle to hold a card - but then at the last minute I added ears and I think they are super cute. Here's how I did it. Step 1: Roll a circle out of Sculpey + take your seating card (…
