In July's video for Craft I find another way to capture the precious perfection this is my dogs. Whomever you adore can be documented in this unique and lovely way as well. Check out the video to see how!
You can put these on pretty much anything, plates, plaques, or sew them onto fabric. 
This was the FIRST time I have ever used Adobe Illustrator or the cutter, and I made out like a bandit. Let me be an example to anyone intimidated that you can totally learn this. If you need any additional help, you can google any question about Adobe or any other program, and answers will come. This is how I have gotten myself out of a few pickles in Final Cut Pro.
How would you fashion yours?

Nautical Lamp Re-Vamp & Beachy Bathroom Decor

Hello nesters and HAPPY SUMMER! My apologies for my absence, June was a month filled with friends and family in need, landmark moments, all rewarded with a week-long vacation. I have been working hard and playing hard, with lots of exciting projects in the works. There is a very exciting new step coming very soon, that I will share here on Nest first. In the meantime, I have bee blogging twice a week and making monthly videos for Craft. You can find my archives here!
In June's video I take my I-wish-I-lived-by-the-ocean bathroom to the next level with a few fun projects. I first took an old lamp and transformed it into a sweet new nautical accessory with rustic rope paired with the sharp white and navy stripes. Enjoy the video!
In addition to making the lamp, I reupholstered my vintage chair with a great Finnish fabric, made the sea urchin at the top of the post, and made a belt using sailor knots.
I actually feel more relaxed and calm when I shower or bathe in the lovely loo now. It is amazing what creating a little escape in your home will do for you. Do you have one?
