OFFICIALLY HOMEOWNERS!

OFFICIALLY HOMEOWNERS! on Katie Crafts; https://www.katiecrafts.com

Hip Hip Hooray! The Husband and I just closed on our very first house! (the one with the wreath on the door!) We’re venturing all the way from Center City to South Philly (for those of you who don’t live here, it’s right around the corner, haha) in a place that is all ours- which is super exciting. It has a teeny tiny concrete block of a backyard (which is pretty awesome for city living) that we plan on getting a little table and grill for, and we want to put a bench and plants in the front, and … okay, I’m getting a bit ahead of myself. Maybe we should move in first, right? Continue reading OFFICIALLY HOMEOWNERS!

August Project Round Up

August Project Round Up

Hello, September! I have mixed feelings about this month. It means Fall is just around the corner (which is my fave!) and it means the anniversary of the first time the Husband and I met/had our first date/officially started dating, but it’s also the anniversary of losing my mom. Now on top of the current plethora of important dates during the month, we are adding buying a house and moving in to the mix. September is QUITE a busy and emotional month! For a minute, let us forget it is September and lets reflect back on August with a round up of my favorite projects from the Summer! Continue reading August Project Round Up

New Wednesday Look!

"Don't Stress! Relax! Let life roll off your backs. Except for death and paying taxes, everything in life is only for now!" - Avenue Q; Print out at Katie Crafts; https://www.katiecrafts.com

We (fingers crossed!) close on the house this Friday! Our official move date is September 16th, but we’ll probably start bringing some things over early and doing a little work there. We’ll also be super busy packing – yeah, I’m still not done – and cleaning and moving, and then unpacking and cleaning and settling in over the course of the next month. That means I sadly won’t have time for my normal Wednesday Etsy Featured Shop interviews! Continue reading New Wednesday Look!

Nail Art Design: Navy, Mint & Gold

My three fave colors right now are navy, mint and gold. Why not combine them together in a cute, easy and somewhat abstract nail art design?! There is no reason why not, obviously. That’s why I did it! Check out how you can too below! Continue reading Nail Art Design: Navy, Mint & Gold

DIY Mini Sketch Book

DIY Mini Sketch Book Tutorial by Katie Crafts; https://www.katiecrafts.com

Project: DIY Mini Sketch Book (or Notebook!)

A few weeks back, I found myself in one of my greatest inspiration stores. Nope, not the fabric store, or the craft store, or even the art store- Home Depot! Seriously, I love it there. We were visiting my Dad for the weekend and painting my childhood bedroom a sunny shade of pale golden yellow. While browsing the paint aisles, I decided to grab a few different paint chip swatches, knowing when I had the time I would be able to find a fun little project to use them for. Well, now is the time! Continue reading DIY Mini Sketch Book
