Hello and happy Friday, friends! This Friday favourites comes a week late. I meant to have a Valentine's edition for you last week, but a cold knocked me right out for a few days and I didn't get on here at all. With the renovation of my craft room/entire basement commencing next week, I decided that I am also going to take a break from the blog. That doesn't mean that I will cease to craft altogether, but most of my tools and items are packed away. If I do happen to get a

I am in shock at how quickly January is passing us by. But at the same time, it's bringing us closer to a secret that I've been hiding: my craft room is getting a HUGE overhaul! In actuality, our entire basement will undergo renovations starting mid-February, which includes of course my craft space. I'm talking walls and the ceiling coming down, new flooring, even a brand new, modern bathroom. And once it's all done, I'll have a brand new, brighter space to craft, and I do

Hello friends, and welcome to the first Friday favourites of the year! Friday favourites will continue to be published on a bi-weekly schedule. How was your week? Mine, besides my usual day job keeping me busy, I had one day off where I whipped up a few Valentine projects. I cannot wait to share them! But this week's FF doesn't look at Valentine's quite yet. So here are some general crafts for your weekend inspiration. From top left: DIY Matching Heart Earrings & Barrettes

Friends, I'm excited to "wrap" up the holidays with this FF post bringing you all kinds of gift wrapping ideas. If you're still in this stage, I hope you'll find some inspiration below. I also want to wish you all a very, merry Christmas! THANK YOU for another great year. It did come with its challenges (with my new job in January, the blog did slow down for a bit, and I did have close my online shop and switch solely to custom orders), but it also came with lots of ups (re

Happy Friday, friends! There's only one more FF post to go before Christmas, as well as for the year! I have already started to wind down for the season myself. I've been sharing Christmas crafts with you for nearly two months! It has been fun I will admit, but now our home is fully decked out, and all the gifts are pretty well wrapped, that it's time to move on and think about some ideas for next year. But if your holiday craft game is still going strong, be sure to check o

I am looking more and more forward to Christmas with each passing week, and let me tell you the weeks feel like they are just flying by! Why I feel like I just posted the last Friday favourites here yesterday. This month as you know, I'll have a brand new one for you each week featuring Christmas crafts galore! It's just the merriest time of year. Wouldn't you agree? :) From top left: Free Printable Holiday Flamingo Card Mini DIY Colourful Vinyl Snowflake Ornaments How to M

You, my friends, are in for a treat. For the next four Fridays, I'll have a new Friday favourites for you! You may have noticed that for some months now, I've been posting these every other week. With my sometimes crazy work schedule, I'm not blogging or crafting as much as I'd like to. BUT, the holidays are such an important time, and crafts are in abundance. I've been working so hard to get a few out myself. It just wouldn't feel like Christmas without them after all!

As you can see, I'm well into the Christmas projects. I have yet to decorate my house, or buy any gifts, but the crafts start wayyyy earlier in this house. It's just the way I like it :) Whether you've started, or thinking to start, I have a few ideas here today. There's a couple of non-holiday ones too (but change up the colours and you can make anything holiday!)

Hello and happy Friday, friends! I'll get on with Friday favourites in a minute, but first I wanted to give you all an update on the Amara Interior Blog Awards. As you may remember, White House Crafts was in the running for Best Craft Blog (International). The awards have since wrapped up, and unfortunately this little blog didn't win. I'm not sad; I'm still thrilled that I even had the opportunity to be in the running for this special honour, and I only have you to thank!

Below you're seeing some fun Halloween ideas, but behind the scenes, I'm crafting up some Christmas goodies that I cannot wait to share! Oh, let the real fun begin! I don't know why but from here until Valentine's, this is my favourite time for crafts. What about you? My favourite links for this week are: From top left: DIY One & Two-Eyed Monster Cupcake Toppers DIY 90's Patterned Pumpkins via A Kailo Chic Life DIY Happy Ghost Pumpkins via The Crafted Life Batty Candy Cups (

Happy Friday, friends! This week's Friday favourites is a little bit of this and a little bit of that. But before we get to it, I would like to wish all of my fellow Canadians a Happy Thanksgiving weekend! May you eat lots of turkey and decorate all your houses with my pumpkin pie garland craft (shown below!) Enjoy ;) From top left: Yarn Monster Puppets DIY Colourful Felt Pinecones via Club Crafted How To Make A Modern Hanging Wooden Wall Bracket Light via The Whimsical Wife

Hello friends, and happy almost first day of Fall! I wanted to start by thanking those of you who took the time to vote for this wee blog in this year's Amara Interior Blog Awards. The voting closed a few days ago, and I'll know by mid-next week if I've made the shortlist. I'm not counting on it, but it would be awesome! If I do, you'll be hearing about it for sure. Thanks again, friends. I really appreciate it! I have Fall-inspired projects to share in this week's Friday

Happy Friday, friends! This will probably be the last Friday Favourites for the summer. Next week, I'm off to do a little back-to-school shopping in the United States, and I'm really looking forward to the break and a change of scene. Speaking of, there's a few fun #BTS ideas here today. For all of you going back after Labour Day, I wish you the best! Have a great weekend, friends. As always, happy crafting!
