DIY Rosette Wreath

I like to think wreaths aren't just for the holiday season, they are like a warm welcome on your front door waiting to greet your guests when they come to visit. I love when I see a house with a beautiful wreath on the door. This wreath is super easy and very inexpensive to make –- I purchased everything for under $10!

Chicken & Sweet Potato Stew

 

One pot meals are always a hit in my house, easy for me to make (and clean), my hubby loves them, and I'm sure when Luke is able to have solids he will also enjoy.  I am originally from Romania and we have many different types of one pot meals, this particular one is a stew.  I put this dish together by adding a little of my hometown roots to it, although it's not a Romanian dish, a Romanian girl made it. Here is what you will need and how to make it.

No-Sew Pillows

Before I learned how to sew, I thought it was impossible to make anything that required a sewing machine, until my sister-in-law introduced me to heat n bond tape. This miracle product will save you from having to use a sewing machine. In the past, I used hem tape to make table runners, curtains, even hem jeans! Here is how I make one of my favorite projects using the hem tape -- PILLOWS!! I'm constantly changing my throw pillows throughout the house and I don't always have the time to sew. So, without further adieu... I will let the pictures show you how to make them.

DIY Felt Flower Pin

Anyone who knows me know that I love making flowers out of fabric. This year I was asked to make these pins for the children's Easter program for my church. I had to make quite a few so, I had to come up with something that would be easy to make and look cute. So this is what I came up with. They are quite easy to make and are really cute to wear with anything that needs a little accessory. Ok ok, enough talking here is how you make it. 

Smoked Salmon Spread

 

One of my dads hobbies is to smoke different types of meats, in fact he loves it so much that he designed and built his own smoker in his backyard along with an awesome brick oven. This past winter he smoked some salmon and it turned out amazingly delicious. My husband and I are really big on dips and spreads, so I decided to make this one by using the salmon my dads smoked and it's a winner, everyone whose tried it said it was really creamy and delicious. It's made with cream cheese, Greek yogurt, and fresh chives. Bring this to any party and you'll have people complimenting you left and right. So, here is how you make it.

Dollar Store Spring Vase

                            

It was time to change my table centerpieces to something more spring appropriate. And I love taking something from the dollar store and making it look expensive. This project is really simple and it will cost you next to nothing. 

DIY Chevron Cork Board

 

I was doing some spring cleaning around the house when I ran into a cork board I bought some time ago from Goodwill. As I was walking towards the trash can, the idea of making it into a chevron board popped into my head.
