Hello readers! I hope you all enjoyed your weekend. It was a rainy one, but fun nonetheless. I checked out a great small market at Soho House and kicked off my new challenge, a gluten free diet test (after many months of resistance). To kick off this week I am very excited to introduce you [...]

When I was researching for this post, I came across Write With Moxie and I am seriously in love with everything about the company. These eco-friendly pencils are made from recycled paper and come in the best colors. They are the absolute perfect thing for a party favor, for both kids and adults. They even [...]

I figured I’d leave you with a sunny, rainbow-filled picture today in honor of the rainbow St. Patrick Day ideas I’ve been featuring around these parts. Unfortunately, our weekend here in LA is expected to be anything but sunny and colorful. Try rain and 50s. And in so-cal, that’s a big deal. So we’re planning [...]

I can thank Pinterest for leading me to this “EEK!!” worthy discovery. So Little Time Co. makes the cutest wood brooches that are so utterly perfect for the birthday boy or girl to wear on their special party day. I’m also not going to lie, I would totally wear one of these on a sweater [...]

Happy happy weekend everyone! Let’s see what’s on tap for me? Jeff’s sister is coming into town and we’re very excited for her visit! Visitors mean we get to go to all of our favorite places, which pretty much all involve food. Duh. While I’m planning to eat my way through the weekend, anyone planning [...]

My parents came to visit last weekend and I had one request for them… Girl Scout Cookies. I have not been able to find them in LA and have been going through withdrawals. Well, I got my Tagalong fix and decided… why stop there? Everyone loves Girl Scout Cookies and everyone has a favorite. I’ve [...]

It shouldn’t be news that I love me a good garland, so I’m loving these fabric flower ones from Pretty Swell. Fun, punchy colors for spring and perfect when strung behind a dessert bar or above an outdoor event or reception. I think they’d also be great in a nursery, after you use them at [...]

Hello Friday, so nice to see you again. My parents are visiting this weekend so I’m looking forward to a nice weekend with them! Doing some baking, eating and relaxing. I may even recruit them to help out with a few St. Patrick’s Day projects I have up my sleeve! What are you all up [...]

Who hasn’t fallen in love with stripey paper straws? They’re just so much more fun than their plastic counterparts. Luckily, the crafty people of the world don’t think you should just drink out of these straws. No, no. You should craft with them, decorate with them and when you do drink out of them, you [...]

Ever wanted to send someone something, but felt a card wasn’t enough and a gift was a little too much? Say, someone who just got a job promotion, or a close friend that you’ve agreed not to exchange gifts with? Well I had one of those moments recently when a friend got some very exciting [...]

Happy Monday lovely readers! I wanted to kick off this week with a little good news for all you crafty people out there. First I must thank all of you for your support these past few months as Studio DIY began and grew tremendously! With all you awesome people behind me, and so many reasons [...]

It’s the last weekend in February… what!? It’s also our only visitor-less weekend for awhile so we’ll be spending some time prepping for everyone’s arrival! I’m also starting to think St. Patrick’s Day and getting excited for another holiday, as I always do. Anyone throwing a St. Patty’s Day party? Bringing you a BRIGHT and [...]

Living just a few miles from the Kodak Theater, it’s needless to say that I know the Oscars are this weekend and preparations are well underway. But have you prepped for your own Oscar party yet? A little champagne and red carpet gossip may sound just right, but why not add a little sparkle too!? [...]

Oh boy, I was so caught up in Valentine festivities that I completely forgot about Presidents’ Day! With the hope that most of you have the day off today, I’m going to encourage you to go out and enjoy your extra day of relaxation and leave you with a little preview of whats to come [...]

Is everyone detoxing from the red + pink + heart overload that is Valentine’s Day? I have to say I always get sad when I have to pack up my Valentiney decor that gets strewn across the apartment each February 14th but now it’s on to the next holiday… St. Patrick’s Day! I am Irish [...]

I know, I said leftover chocolate. You’re probably thinking “leftover”? But I should explain… I’m not saying you shouldn’t eat all that chocolate you got for Valentine’s Day or those leftover chocolate candies from your kid’s Valentine party, I’m just saying you may want to get a little creative with it! Here’s a few ideas [...]
