Jeans: Part 3

As summer is approaching, I was looking into buying our son a bucket hat from Vinted for our upcoming trip to the beach. He wears a baseball hat pretty well, but it doesn’t protect the back of his neck and ears. Back to Pinterest! The challenge was to find a pattern for babies. A challenge…

Jeans: Part 2

The tiny little baby shoes used a very small piece of the pants. I had been wanting a new wallet for a while since mine had been slowly deteriorating so I decided to try making one out of denim. It was not the most successful, but I am using it, so that has to count…

Jeans: Part 1

For some reason, my husband wears holes in the crotch of his jeans very quickly. He goes through multiple pairs a year. This means that I have a lot of denim fabric. I wasn't really interested in the usual denim projects...mainly tote bags, and I definitely won't be making a quilt. So here is the…

Stretchy Slouch Hat

I had a jersey cotton dress that I would never wear. I wanted a jersey cotton hat. Back to Youtube I went. This time I followed the video from AmyFamily DIY. The cool thing about this hat is that there’s a hole in the top of it so if you’re like me and wear your…

Cardboard Side Table

I had a bunch of boxes. I wanted a side table to put next to the chair in my son's room with a shelf for his books, a drawer for toys and a space on top to put my water bottle. Cardboard is great, but it's really quite flimsy. So after taking a look at…

Sustainably Pregnant!

There you have it! We're expecting our first child this month! Having begun this sustainable lifestyle journey just over a year ago, this opens up a whole new category of sustainable products to explore. There are a few things that I've started already, but I'd love to hear if you have even more suggestions for…

Bar Soap Organizer

I am very excited to share this item with you! Having switched to bar soaps in the shower, it can get tricky to find places to put them. Plus, they're slippery once you've used them and easily slide off the shelf. I've been thinking about how to solve this problem for quite some time, but…

DIY Christmas Cork Decorations

A friend of mine was recently discussing what to do with corks in Vilnius. I threw a few into my compost pile, but I'll see after the winter how well they broke down. I discovered a few places to bring the corks for recycling, but decided there had to be something I could do with…

DIY Autumn Light Decorations

We're all suffering from some CAD (Covid Affective Disorder) these days and instead of decorating for Christmas already, I decided to decorate with some autumn colors. With the help of Pinterest and inspiration from our beautiful city park, I gathered up some leaves to get started. Bernardinu Sodas After coming home with my collection of…

Reusable Food Wraps

I have a love/hate relationship with plastic wrap. Sometimes it seems like it's the only thing that will get the job done, but then it is so obnoxious to handle! Living in Europe, they don't sell the stuff with the handy box with the serrated metal edge to cut it off, so it's even harder…
