Quick Fixes

Shower Curtain Liner Hack

Can’t decide if I’m a genius or just a cheap ass for this one. We really, really needed a new shower curtain liner – I’d say 40% of the little hook holes were ripped through so the liner was just kind of dangling there on the sides. Well I can’t ever remember to buy a new one and I’m also very cheap thrifty so I grabbed some gorilla tape and a hole puncher and solved all my shower curtain liner problems in just a few minutes. I’m oddly proud of this quick fix so I had to share!

New Roof + Sh*tty News

In case you missed the last post, there was an EPIC ceiling leak in my son’s bedroom (he took a wonderful video of it that you can watch here: onecraftybitch.com/the-leak/)

Because of the funky style of our house, we have both a flat and shingled roof. FUN FACT: Flat roofs have about a 10 year lifespan and ours is, you guessed it, 10 years old! So we found a local roofer to replace it. It is what it is!

 

On a shittier note, since we’re having to replace some drywall on the ceiling, we decided this would be a good time to DIY scrape off the popcorn texture in my son’s room. At the urging of my environmental scientist sister, we took a sample of the popcorn and sent it to a lab in Tampa and…drumroll please… Read More »

The Leak

UGHHHHHHHH! Woke up after a rainy night to find this hot mess above my son’s bed. It was slowly dripping water on to his top bunk and my husband was at work so I just sat and stared at it for awhile.

The wet spot started to grow, so I did the only logical thing I could think of: I poked it.

St Patrick’s Day Sale

I’m running a Saint Patrick’s Day Sale in my etsy shop – 10% off all Bottle Cap Resin Pieces. If you haven’t already checked these out in my shop, these are vintage trays and cigar boxes that I line with bottle caps and then pour a clear layer of resin on top of them. This hardens to create a smooth, flat surface. These make great conversation pieces and are a unique way to store keys, remotes, phones, etc. These are THE perfect gift for beer lovers – click here to check them out in my shop. And be sure to follow me on instagram where I post my latest pieces and videos of *fresh* resin pours.

Upcycled Bag Into Pillow

One of my side hustles is selling refinished and upcycled furniture & decor at a local vendor mall. Since we live in Florida, the mother of all tourist states, I sell a lot of beachy condo decor. When I saw this burlap shell bag at an estate sale, I knew it would be a quick fix to turn it into a pillow.

I cut off the bag handles (you know I saved them b/c one day they might just come in handy), added stuffing, and sewed the open side shut.

It was quick & easy to make and quick & easy to sell!

FREEBIE: Cookie Order Form

We are Girl Scout cookie fiends at my house! Luckily we have friends & family with daughters who supply us with much needed cookie sustenance. This year, one of my friends asked me to create a cookie order form for her daughter to use when passing out pre-ordered cookies. Well, since I love how it turned out & since I think Girl Scouts is one of the greatest programs EVAH, I decided to offer it as a FREE printable.

***These fit 4 to a page. When printing, be sure to check your settings. You want to print this “Actual Size” – make sure “Fit to Page” is not checked.***
