DIY: Pretty Picture Frames

This weekend I was itching for a project to do and looked around to see what I had to work with (which was basically yarn and hot glue).  After seeing a picture frame on Urban Outfitters (no longer available), I decided I would try and make one myself.  So with my left over yarn I got to work.  The whole project took less than an hour and it really improved the look of the frame, not to mention costing way less than the one you could buy at Urban Outfitters.

DIY: Embroidered Napkins

With my mother's birthday fast approaching, and her love of new trinkets for the house, I decided to put the skills my grandmother taught me to use! I broke out the needle and thread after seeing this tutorial from heart of light.  I decided to use the names of towns on the North Fork, and a simple straight stitch on pre- made napkins.  It took mere hours and the result is super cute (and my mom loves them!)
