Magnetic Advent Calendar
I’ve had a few big projects lately (one you’ve still to see) and I’m feeling like I need a little bit more ‘simple’ in my life. Today’s magnetic advent calendar is just that – simple. I’ve had these metal sheets from M-D Building Products since the Haven Conference last July. I didn’t know what to […]
Scandinavian Star

(this post contains affiliate links, for full disclosure see sidebar) You’ve seen them, they are usually made of white paper with a light inside and are hung in the windows over Christmas.

Best Dog Ever! (a DIY photo frame)
I have the best dog ever. Actually, I’ve always had the best dog(s) ever – every single one of them – I’m using “Best” as a class, not a singular achievement. I mean, don’t we all have the best dog ever? Time to celebrate it – and use up a bit of scrap wood in […]
