Renovar Design: DIY Candles Holders from Vintage Jello Molds

I am so excited to back again & this month I am not even fooling around (get it? lame? I know, I know...sorry. I just couldn't resist!)

On a more serious note, I have been very busy with a basketball tournament, work, tackling a whole home organization project, crafting here and there in my spare time & taking care of every single person in my house because they have all been sick! Being a nurse, I normally don't blame the weather - this week - I am totally blaming the weather! It has been crazy in the Chicago land area. Sunny & 50, then overcast & 70, then rainy, then back to the 30's with snow, then warmer again in the 50's, then sleet and then more snow. I feel like mother nature is having a mid-life crisis and doesn't really know what she wants! LOL. Ah, such is life in the Midwest!

This month I am bringing you a quick, inexpensive, DIY up-cycled project. Despite being so busy, I still manage to make time for crafting. It relaxes me. Even if it only takes a few minutes to complete, I feel accomplished after being creative!

Grain Sack Hidden Zipper Pillow

I have become obsessed with finding just the right painting of a cow. I want Mrs Cow to have soft eyes and a charming little face- but I also need the background colors to "work" with our home. Must.Find.Cow/Painting! Do you get like that? Just stuck on a decorating idea? This pillow project was similar, I was determined that my house needed some vintage pillow charm. 

Just look at it- I'm sure you can see why!

Oak & Olive: Geometric Weatherwood Stained Table

Let me introduce you to the talented lady running  Oak & Olive: Krizia. She reached out to me after finding my Weatherwood Insta feed. We decided she should get some product to try out and it was on! I knew what her rough idea for the project was from her Pinterest Board, but was so so happy to see how the final table turned out. Here's her project:
