Mexican Wedding Cookies + a Christmas wish

December 21, 2022 By Tanya Leave a Comment

Hello friends! I cannot believe we are just a few days away from Christmas Day, I am reminded daily I need to finish wrapping gifts by a persistent 13 year old lest I forget how little time we have left 🙂 We saw the singing Christmas Tree at a local church this week, these folks…

Our Christmas entry way and family room

December 12, 2022 By Tanya 12 Comments

Spending time with family and friends (and a little snow!) is my favorite part of the Christmas season hands down. Each year there are more memories to look back on, stuggles and blessings of the year that is coming to a close, and hope for the New Year. I am not a make-a-resolution gal but…

December 3, 2022 By Tanya 16 Comments

Hello friends! I keep watching the forecast for snow but besides a couple of teeny flurries we have yet to see it actually snow. I am remaining hopeful as sometimes in Southwest WA we have no snow or we get a foot in February. It’s just how things are here lol 🙂 Are you all…

How to make a snowy DIY Anthro wreath

November 13, 2022 By Tanya 4 Comments

Hello friends! I thought I could wait until Thanksgiving but I ignored that small voice, instead turning my home into Santa’s Workshop this weekend. It was so much fun, we had our favorite Christmas songs going, it was very cold outside and soup simmering in the crock pot. We hung garlands, brought out the Christmas…

DIY Fresh Rosemary trees

November 7, 2022 By Tanya 8 Comments

We have a few rosemary bushes around our yard and they have gotten HUGE the past few years. I dry some and can usually trim some fresh most of the winter too, but bringing in a bunch of fresh rosemary all at once made our house smell wonderful. I had just finished up the “trees”…

Easy woven wall hanging (a great gift!)

November 10, 2021 By Tanya 6 Comments

Sooooo I finally broke down. After resisting for a long time and I took a risk. A yarn-related risk, and I am so glad I did! I love yarn and fiber arts but I don’t macrame, knit or crochet. I have made a few non-woven wall hangings but I kept seeing all this gorgeous yarn…

Little pink (Christmas) houses for you and me

December 8, 2018 By Tanya 4 Comments

If you give a girl some glitter… And a group of Dollar Tree Christmas houses… And she happens to have some pink spray paint… Then… Well, this happens. And a new pink, sparkly Christmas Cottage community is created. I don’t know about you, but I could live there. It’s almost a public service if you…

DIY Frosted Paper Magnolia Wreath

December 2, 2018 By Tanya 17 Comments

  I love wreaths. And I didn’t realize how many I had (similar to the shock when you survey how many craft supplies you have amassed or what your hoard of furniture to paint looks like) until we moved this year. Knowing that I could make more, and some of them had been stored haphazardly…
