Did you know that March is National Craft Month? Now that’s my kind of thing to celebrate! Wayfair recently asked me to be part of their Craft Redux campaign, and I jumped at the opportunity to participate. The challenge? To re-make or reimagine the first craft project you ever posted on your blog.
Sign me up! I love a good craft challenge. For me, this meant a chance to re-invent my Spring floral wreath.
This article was originally published in the March 2016 issue of VRAI Magazine.
For this month’s “Spring is in the Air” theme, I took the “in the air” portion somewhat literally. When I think of the signs of Spring, I think of the scents – new grass, warm breezes and blossoming flowers. After having our home shut up for winter, I look forward to opening the windows, clearing out the stale air, and filling our rooms with light, fresh scents.
I frequently see simmering pot recipes shared around the winter holidays, combining clove, cinnamon and other heart-warming seasonal scents. But the idea of a simmering pot is one you can use and change up all year long, and this is what inspired me to put a Spring spin on a few simmering pot recipes.
Sometimes, we get a little (or a lot) goofy here at Two Purple Couches. Case in point: while I was working on my “Hello” pallet wood sign over the weekend, I was ambushed by the hubs. He put together a crafting “playlist” for me, which consisted only of Adele’s new hit “Hello”, because obviously, and then offered to take some action photos of me working. Which really meant that he was taking video of me working, and ahem, singing.
Happy March my friends! I hope you enjoyed your extra day yesterday!
Over the weekend, I was thrilled to team up with a couple of gals to host a sweet baseball themed baby shower for one of our dearest friends. We had a wonderful afternoon full of food, games and laughter, and today I am going to share all of the adorable baseball details with you.
I always hate the day that our Christmas decorations come down. I know to a lot of people, this makes their home feel clean and fresh, but to me it feels bare and sad. And with the January days being short, grey and cold, a bare, sad house is the last thing I want to be surrounded by! I prefer to ease out of Christmas and swap in some winter mantel decor that still feels festive, but not holiday-specific.
