Chalkboard Succulent Pots From Upcycled Items
All you need is a little bottle of chalk board paint to make all kinds of fun things, and especially fun things from stuff you might otherwise toss! Presenting my recycled chalkboard succulent pot, made from the cup of a plastic thermos (that broke the first day my son took it to school…..husbands might be well meaning but not always aware of how quickly kids can break certain items!) I knew that cup would come in handy at some point, and just love it painted black, and as a little place to doodle with chalk, so much fun! As you may have seen, I first made chalkboard apples which are…

Cut Paper Heart For Quick Party Decor
Today I took scissors to paper to experiment with a few ideas for some paper decorations, and i came up with this simple way to make a really stylish paper heart in just a few minutes. I'm hoping to make a bunch of these to decorate the walls in one of my kid's bedrooms that is going to be a guest bedroom this weekend, and I'll certainly share it with you, if the results are noteworthy that is! So grab some colorful paper, or even some recycled magazine pages and lets get cutting!

Plastic Animal Succulent Pot
Remember those golden giraffe birthday cake toppers from awhile back? Well anything hanging out for too long in my kitchen cabinet is fair game for a remake, so I now present to you golden giraffe succulent holders, which are just perfect to add a little humor to your home decor, or of course for your next party! And yes dear readers, I do realize that the little plant shown in the photo above is not technically a succulent, it is actually a baby from a bird's nest Sanseveira, but since you don't likely have one of those, succulents are the best choice! And by succulents, what I'm suggesting actually is…

Sweet Table and Table Reserved Signs
One of the simple details that I really enjoyed designing for my son's bar mitzvah party were these simple signs. The pomegranite logo (which included his hebrew initials) was designed initially for the invitation, and I was happy to use it again for a few details for the party. The signs in the foreground says "shana tovah v'metuka" means have a happy sweet new year, surely appropriate for the sweets table laden with goodies that my daughter baked over eh period of a few weeks. And the sign in the background says "broochim habaim" which means welcome! If you have a color printer and some software that enables you to…

An Introduction To The Art Of Vegetable Carving!
Ever since a woman walked into my friend's engagement party, a good twelve or thirteen years ago, with a butternut squash vase filled with red pepper flowers I have been dreaming of making something similar. Not to mention that I'd much rather spend time making a gorgeous spread of fruits and vegetables than decorating cakes and making little chocolates (which is now my daugher's territory, phew.) So at long last a young woman who has taken many lessons from the two expert fruit and vegetable carvers whose ads I had seen all these years, is teaching just a ten minute walk from my house, and perfect timing, (and a good…

Crocheted Vase Using T-Shirt Yarn
A quick crocheted vase using some scraps of t-shirt yarn (to make it super quick!) and either a glass or plastic bottle with a wide mouth is the perfect summer project! Fill your crocheted vase with cuttings from plants, like heart shaped philodendron and pathos that can grow in water, or gather some wild flowers and enjoy. The rustic feeling of the large stitch makes it perfect for use indoors and out, not to mention that this project is a great stash buster, so go ahead and use up all those odds and ends! Come winter a crocheted vase like this is pastel colors looks great filled with branches, but…
