January 25, 2017 By: Heather Brisman

Just so we’re clear. I hoard all the things. All of them. Every. single. one. Case in point…I had some left over drop cloth scraps that I had saved from when I made drop cloth curtains for the living room.And this craft is exactly why I tell Rob (okay, maybe in a slightly more elevated voice […]

A Gift for the Harry Potter Fan in Your Life

January 13, 2017 By: Heather Brisman

A very “Harry” Christmas to you! Okay, I didn’t post this before Christmas, because I’m pretty sure even though my kids claim they don’t know I have a blog (I guess the word would actually be “acknowledge”), I think they might occasionally stop by, just to make sure I’m not writing about them. That would […]

Cute Little Cheer Bow Keychains

December 18, 2016 By: Heather Brisman

OMG, Becky! Look at her bow — it’s so little! And it’s so cute! After making all those cheer bows for the middle school and high school cheer squad and figuring out how easy and cost effective it can be when you make your own, the cheer coaches wanted to give the girls these cute little […]

December 18, 2016 By: Heather Brisman

Note: Since my original post here got crazy-long, I decided to break these up into smaller, hopefully easier to read, posts. The following are not full tutorials, mostly just resources (and the basic steps.) Sometimes it’s just hard knowing where to find all the stuff! Also, be encouraged…if I can make these, so can you!

Note: Since my original post here got crazy-long, I decided to break these up into smaller, hopefully easier to read, posts. I think this is one of my favorite bow I made. It’s so stinkin’ simple, but oh so gorgeous. Seriously, the pictures do not do it justice. Just so you know, it is very […]

Easy Professional Looking DIY Cheer Bows

December 15, 2016 By: Heather Brisman

Any cheer moms out there??? I know some of you luurrv the cheer thing. I am probably not one of them. As a matter of fact, I keep telling my friends “how did I end up with two cheerleaders?!” I think what I’m mostly not excited about is how ridiculously expensive all the cheer gear is. And […]

Cover Them in Prayer

February 23, 2016 By: Heather Brisman

When my friend (and next door neighbor from our previous house) found out she was pregnant with her third child, I wanted to give her something personal. This sweet family attends the same church we do and there was no question this little boy was covered in prayer from the beginning. When I decided to make the […]

Are you getting tired of reading about all the foundation work we’ve had done? Because I’m tired of writing about it. And even more tired of enduring it. Reno-weary. That’s us. It’s a real thing. This happened today. Fourteen new piers. If you’re counting, that brings our grand total to 78 piers we’ve installed in […]
