Where Unique, Chic and Organized Meet
We have been blessed to know 3 couples this year who had their 1st child this year. I wanted to make something special for them for each baby to commemorate their 1st Hanukkah, so I made an alpha bet wood block Menorah. It was a relatively easy and inexpensive item to make, but most importantly it would be something to remember the baby's 1st Hanukkah. Supplies: 10" Floating Shelf wood … [Read more...]

The new school year started and I went to our homework wall to make sure it was ready, and the cork tiles next to The Homework Caddy (review), were falling off. I had to yank them down, and re-think. About 2 years ago I had bought 2 magnetic cork boards for each of the kids' rooms. I covered 1 for A's room, but never did the one for the boys' room. I decided to pull it out, and use that on our … [Read more...]

Once I was done with my bracelet, I got their card immediately. I put my twitter handle on mine even though they didn't have the @ sign, and wore it all weekend. Shains (@shainsware) are made of recycled and recyclable parts. They … [Read more...]
Last weekend I went to a family wedding, and for the first time decided to ask my mom to knit me a wrap. My mom is an amazing knitter, and I had never actually asked her to make me something. Usually intricate wraps are made via crochet, so she warned me to look for knitting patterns that were more straight forward. I came across the Caron International Ruffle Wrap, she gave her blessing and … [Read more...]
