Sunburst mirror DIY. It has been soooo long since this first post went up and I thought it would be fun to include some updated photos of this mirror and show you how it has been used over the years.
Still using it and loving it! Where ol' girl currently lives in our Houston house. Check out my tutorial below so you can make one of your own! Remember the teaser of my new sunburst mirror... Well here she is in all her glory! She's nice and beefy, and has lots of texture. It's hard to tell in these photos (because we haven't had sun outside our windows in DAYS), but she has a really nice shine too.

Our Library: Raingutter Bookshelves! Obviously this isn't a treat-related post...but it's still SUPER SWEET!
I received SO many comments and inquiries in response to the picture I posted of our kiddos' library on my FB page, that I felt I really should dedicate a full post to the subject ;) We finished our basement this past spring and resolved to make a big part of the open area a playroom.

A Little "Ruler" Project and our Give Thanks Pillow. I hope you all had a wonderful weekend!
Ours was nice and busy. We have been working on quite a few projects around the house as well as designing some new Dear Lillie items. We have one new item available this morning, our "give thanks" pillow cover. Also we have spent some time this past week reviewing things and found some ways to cut shipping costs. We have now lowered all of our domestic shipping charges! One of the new projects we have been working on here was this fun oversized ruler growth chart to measure Lillie and Lola.

How to Make a No-Sew Ruffled Christmas Tree Skirt. Plastic Drawer Mini-facelift. Like many of you (I'm sure) I had a set of these cheap plastic storage bins: Clearly it has become a place for junk...I can't believe I even just shared that picture with you guys.
Ick. Anyways, I do love how great it is for storing away nick-nacks and other miscellaneous stuff. But, the clear plastic drawers left too much for the wandering eye to see, and were less than appealing. A cool kitchen-finds blog - Kitchenisms. Etsy find: Bridbird Happy Monday everybody!
Why not warm up to the week with these lovely illustrations from Bridbird. I stumbled across Bridget‘s shop this morning, and found her lovely prints, cards and fridge magnets, all foodie-themed and completely covetable. DIY Bathroom Storage. How to Make Fruit Roll ups. I thought we had used up all of our nectarines in our recent canning spree, but Scott walked in the backdoor yesterday with another basket full (the last of them).
Hmmm, what to do with them? I thought I’d try my hand at fruit leather, or fruit roll ups, again. Nectarines are a perfect candidate for making fruit roll ups because they aren’t as juicy as peaches so they dry faster. Quick Arts and Craft Ideas. Christmas tree ornament mobile, how-to. Here is how I made my Christmas tree ornament mobile, it was easier than it looks, promise.
The Supplies a 17″ steamer rack from a restaurant supply storeabout 5 feet of lightweight jack chaina small carabiner100 basic ornament hooksone roll, 500 feet, monofilament jewelry string (not the stretchy sort)200 jewelry crimp beads or tubesjewelry crimping tool100 lanyard hooks100 ornaments Note: In the photo above I show earring wire instead of ornament hooks. I changed that later as I found ornament hooks made it far easier to move ornaments around after they’d been hung. Also, my supplies are based on a 4 foot tall mobile using almost 100 ornaments, you’ll need to adjust amounts if you make one larger or smaller. Creating the Mobile Frame Creating the frame for my ornament tree mobile turned out to be fairly simple. For the top of the mobile I needed something that would allow me to easily secure a lot of hanging points without them sliding around too much.
Notes: Why so many hooks and bits? Organizing Measuring Cups and Spoons.
