Lemon Thistle
DIY, Hand Lettering + Home Decor
I can’t believe I’ve never done this round up! I’ve been doing more and more DIYs that incorporate hand lettering on Lemon Thistle (and most of the time I include a free template if you’re not artsy), and am loving the collection I’m beginning to see in my home. I have SO many more in …
I mentioned a couple weeks ago (when I made my leather pennant) that I had a bunch of leather that would be making it’s way into projects. Well, friends… here’s one of those projects! These simple key fobs are exactly what I was picturing when I set out to make them. I’m so pleased with how …
Sharing my journey in brush lettering- why I bothered learning, a look at my old work, and why I love it! I’m sure you’ve noticed that I’m loving brush lettering. I love it as a hobby, I love it as decor in my home, and I love it as a discipline to learn. But honestly, …
Halloween is officially over so, yeah… I’m going there ;) The holidays are coming and it’s time to start thinking about them! I couldn’t be more excited, the twins are even more aware of holidays now and are already asking questions about Christmas. They also told me that, ‘that looks really pretty mom, I like …
*This post has been sponsored by Dremel in a holiday gift guide challenge, but all projects are chosen by me (full disclosure)* I’m going to assume that if you’re reading this you love DIY- I mean, that’s why you’re here, right? Those DIY skills you’ve got can make your holiday gifting totally awesome… if you …
I really don’t do much for seasonal decor. It’s not that I don’t love it, I just don’t love having a LOT of stuff to store year round for one season. I really wish I could be a minimalist- the lack of stuff would feel so good- but I just like my stuff too much. …
I’ve had this project on my mind for a while now and I’m so glad I finally took a nap time and made it happen. And it only took that- one nap time! This simple DIY leather pennant is such a rad wall hanging, I love how the weathered leather plays off the crisp white …
Today I’m excited to share a fun update we made to the twins shared bedroom. I had ‘finished’ their big kids room a while ago, but was never totally happy with it. I’m still not. I have big plans, you guys ;) but I’ve finished one of the projects that I’ve been planning to do …
Today I’m over at Remodelaholic sharing this minimal floating vanity for a kids room. It’s slim enough to fit behind a door (without getting bumped!), fun enough to be a feature in the room, and practical to free up precious bathroom space during ‘rush hour’. I’m really happy with how this one turned out, you …
This DIY breakfast tray upgrade is the perfect fun addition to your standard wooden breakfast tray to Treat yo’self. It takes dry toast breakfast in bed to donuts and coffee while lounging in bed midday. And it’s darned simple to make using my free template, friends. We have a lot of un-fun projects going on …
Fall is the time of parties around this house. Between birthdays and holidays, it seems like there’s always an event going on. Today I’m sharing one of my favourite each year- the twins’ birthday. They’re three years old already (somehow #saideverymomever) and this year all they wanted was a picnic party. And when I say …
Right now you’re probably thinking one of two things. You’re either thinking- man, this is pretty last minute Colleen. Or you’re thinking, Thanksgiving already? That’s pretty far away still. And your reaction… tells me if you’re Canadian or American ;) In Canada, we’re about a week away from Thanksgiving. …
