Simple.Beautiful.Life.: no sew

Happy Fall y'all Although it feels anything but fallish here in Texas I woke up today feeling crafty! Which is quite the feat since I've been in a rut lately. Anyone else? We recently moved into a new place kind of out in the country. It's been a bit stressful and after a couple of weeks of (mostly) unpacking everything, I finally felt the urge to decorate the kitchen a little. I am going for a nice, clean, botanical look. I decided to not decorate for fall and leave things clean to give me a better idea on how I wanted the kitchen to set up. This gave me a blank slate to see what color themes I would like to go with. I chose a botanical theme with lots of soft greens and black for a nice contrast. The kitchen is already white and I have plenty of framed art, vases and florals/greenery to play with. I started off with my inspiration - the top of my fridge! I had that Hello, Love art in my bedroom before we moved here and the vase is from Target. The greener...

So you've heard me sing the praises of the Mighty Mendit glue right? I heart this adhesive. It's better than the glue gun and you don't get burned.

They had it on sale for 30% off so why WOULDN'T I buy it?? I scratched my head and wondered what I could use it for. And the other night as I was sorting thru some crap in my closet and putting them into more piles to give away, I came across this: I have soooo many reusable shopping bags I thought, gosh one more. What can I do with sooo many? Well a light bulb went off and I made this! Here's how you can make your own and you don't even have to sew! I took some ready-made ruffled lace that I had on hand. I simply laid them on the canvas bag where I wanted them. I then took my Mighty Mendit adhesive and put down a bead/...
