5 minute table runner

Oh hey there! Wanna see a table runner I made in 5 minutes? I figured you would! All you need is the following:
-fabric of choice
-sewing machine
-pins

The main aspect of this table runner is measurement. I measured the width I wanted and measured approximately 12 inches of over hang for each side. Then I simply hemed the edges and viola, a masterpiece.....of sorts.
 It turned out well for 5 minutes of work, if I do say so myself.

G just said "we should've moved the water cooler", but you don't mind, do you?

DIY pillows

These are officially the easiest pillows I have ever made. Well, I may or may not (emphasis on the not) actually made that many pillows, but these were easy! My sister even made some! I found the tutorial here. The instructions were simple and I literally made 2 pillows in 20 minutes!
Please excuse the poor quality of these pictures, I swear the pillows look legit in real life!

They are currently on my grey couch in the living room, and they look fabulous.  My next diy venture is painting chevron stripes on fabric and making those into pillows! That tutorial can be found here. I will post pictures of the final product! Happy DIYing :)

tea time + DIY tea bags

I have a little obsession with tea. I can't help it. It's so beauTEAful (get it?)and relaxing and healthy! I love iced tea in the summer, especially a local company, Sweet Leaf. You need to check them out and try some! You won't be disappointed.
Not only am I obsessed with tea but I am obsessed with tea cups! Husband has put me on a strict no tea/tea cup buying regime for the new year. so far so good..... until I saw these beauTEAful (okay, I'll stop) tea cups and bags!

Okay, enough tea-merch. Onto the DIY! How adorable are these DIY tea bags? Just in time for Valentine's day :) 

You can find the cute tutorial here (happens to be one of my favorite blogs, too!)

organization for the nation part 2.

I am on an organizing rampage! My kitchen has had a major makeover, I hope it appreciates me. 

Remember way back in the day when I posted this? Namely, this wonderful idea for pot lids?


Well, I live in an apartment, so I couldn't exactly go drilling up my cupboards with fancy-dancy organizing tools, so I went to Walmart and found my own, less invasive version. Wanna see before and after pictures? Of course you do.
WARNING: THOU SHALL NOT JUDGE THE MESSINESS OF THE BEFORE PICTURES. thanks :).

Before

After! See the beautiful pots all lined up in the back?

Before

After! Ahhhh.

Everything always feels better when it's organized. I feel better, do you feel better?

you should.

Snowman Soup

Merry Christmas!
This post may be a little late, but I wanted to show y'all what I gave my co-workers for Christmas! It was so simple and so very fun to make! When I told G that I was making "snowman soup" he responded with a disgusted face, haha. I guess it doesn't sound that great, but 'tis the cutest little gift! I found the tutorial with adorable free printables here.

Here is a picture of how mine turned out!

My co-workers were in love with them.. you can just call me Crafty Cathy. or W. both work.

Merry Christmas!
