Remember the days of catching fireflies in jars? It always sounded fun to me, right on up to the point where I had to touch a bug … Ugh! That part was not so fun. So I let my brother catch them for me while I held the jar. Some creative (and perhaps […]
Marimekko Mason Jar
I fell in love with Marimekko fabric the minute I set eyes on it. So fun. So vibrant. So expensive! Yes, I was not in love with the price per yard. So very, very out of my league. So what’s a Marimekko print lover to do? Make her own. With paint. […]
Tropical Sunset Mason Jar
When I was a young girl, I used to doodle. A lot. I was a day dreamer. And many of those dreams involved sun and sand and water and palm trees. And over and over and over again I would create a tropical sunset vignette. With a little island. And a palm tree. With […]

Blue Tinted Mason Jars
I was hanging out on Pinterest this morning, looking for Father’s Day gift ideas (in mason jars, of course) when a project caught my eye … It was a claim. A bold statement. It said this is the easiest and mess free way to tint your mason jars. And not just to get that […]
Patriotic Rice Candles
There are so many things to love about a Memorial Day backyard barbecue. The friends. The family. The food. The libations … but my favorite part? The after. After the grill has been turned off and the paper plates and paper cups and plastic forks have been disposed of. When dusk settles […]

Mason Jar Herb Garden
I fear I’m botanically challenged. But that doesn’t stop me from dreaming … sigh. In fact, I picked up a herb plant at the grocery store last week. Basil. I’ve watered it. I’ve shown it the sun. I haven’t yet talked to it … but it’s dying. It’s like the minute […]
Mondrian Mason Jars
I’ve been thinking about making some type of stained glass mason jars for a long time now. And every time I crossed paths with my Gallery Glass faux stain glass supplies I was reminded of this idea … and then I would forget. Out of sight, out of mind. But recently I gave […]
Citronella Candles
There are many things I love about summer. But mosquitos aren’t one of those things. In fact, I’m a mosquito magnet. I can barely step outside at dusk without being bitten. And forget working in the garden. I have to do a full-on DEET spray down before I can tackle and yard work. […]

Painted Daisy Mason Jars
I’m feeling inspired by Spring. Not that the flowers are blooming in Chicago. Yet … though I did spot a few buds poking their way out of the ground yesterday. Which gave me hope. But until the daisies fully bloom, I thought I’d make my very own bouquet. On mason jars, of course! […]
