    Ladybug Baby Shoes Makeover: Video Tutorial

    These worn down baby girl shoes were just begging for a makeover! And how CUTE these ladybug baby shoes came out! I’m so in love with them. The shoes were given to me in a bag of hand-me-downs when my daughter was just born. Clearly, the shoes were just too worn down to remain as-is. (Gosh, I hope the woman who gave them to me doesn’t mind :/ ) Quick disclosure: this post contains affiliate links.

Your kids can put their toy farm animals in it or it can house some other little knickknacks in your home. EDIT: It’s now 2 years later and this stable is holding up beautifully. It’s currently displaying my little manger scene on the piano and looking as perfect as it did when I first made it. My Manger Scene A number of years ago (while I was still living in my mum’s house) a dear friend of mine went on a missions trip to Haiti. When she…

    DIY: Painted Lampshade

    Upon moving into our new home in Okinawa, we quickly realized that around here, lamps, of all things, are hard to come by. Our living room has large, bright, florescent ceiling lights… not at all relaxing to snuggle up under in the evenings. It was clear that something had to be done to improve our snuggle time and so we set out in search of a lamp. We checked the BX (for those of you who don’t know, BX stands for Base Exchange and it’s basically Military Walmart) they had ONE lamp. It was a basic lamp, nothing fancy. It could have worked fine if only the shade hadn’t been…
