Manageability – Relatively simple, and real cute. Easter is a time of happiness and joy and Jesus and all that crap. When hosting your meal, you’ll want a place setting that’s manageable and cute, without wanting to pull all your hair out because you are about to make food for 18 crazy family members. IContinue reading “Easter Table Setting”

Manageability – No problem, and kinda fun! The kitchen in my new apartment was pretty basic and simple. Clean, with stainless steel appliances, but kinda boring and needed a bit of character. That’s when it occurred to me, I’m from Indiana. I’m a Hoosier, dammit! And Hoosiers need cabinets! So I found this half-cabinet onContinue reading “Hoosier Cabinet Rehab”

Manageability – Low-key difficult. I know it’s only three days before Christmas, but you can ALWAYS use more ornaments for that tree. Real or fake, there’s room and you know it. Might I suggest these adorable hot chocolate ornaments? They’re really cute, and perfect for decoration, because I’m not sure how practical they are ifContinue reading “Hot Chocolate Ornaments”

I love plants, and I can usually keep the thick/sturdy ones alive and my root veg are thriving, but I don’t know, herbs hate me. They die. They die a sad death. Despite my curse, I saw an idea for an herbContinue reading “Pallet Herb Planter”

Manageability – Pretty Simple Minus the Glue For a change from the standard “dying eggs”, my husband and I decided to make these adorable chicks this year for Easter. Chirp chirp chirp! The recipe was a breeze, but there’s always a few things to mention. First, the dye tablet for “yellow” starts out looking pretty brown.Continue reading “Better Homes and Gardens’ Chirping Chicks Easter Eggs”

Manageability – So simple I did it in German For our Easter dinner this year, I made the plate settings with these adorable bunny-ear napkins. This project was so simple I didn’t even need directions in English. Apparently the Germans love “Ostern” almost as much as beer and losing world wars. Directions You should beContinue reading “Easter Bunny Napkins”
