Celebrate My Craft Channel’s Birthday with a $500 Craft Supply Giveaway

by Lindsay Ballard on October 1, 2013 3 Comments

You love browsing Pinterest to get inspiration for your DIY and crafting fix.  You love reading blogs, because you can get step-by-step tutorials along with a funny story or two.  So you must love visiting YouTube to see great videos of crafting tutorials, right?

Wrong.

Or, at least it’s wrong in my case.  It has been my experience that there’s a lot of muck to weed through on YouTube to get to the good stuff.  There is so much stuff on there that’s either poorly lit, bad sound quality or the projects are just not very modern or on trend.

But y’all, that’s where My Craft Channel comes in!  It’s a first-of-its-kind online craft TV network that features top craft celebrities from across the country. It brings the blogger, crafter and scrapbook community together in one place to provide inspiration through HD quality broadcasting in various categories, such as sewing, scrapbooking, DIY projects, home décor and party planning.

Celebrating My Craft Channel's birthday week!  #mycraftchannel #happybirthdaymcc @mycraftchannel

The crafters on MCC come up with adorable projects, and their videos are shot in a studio with great lighting, sound and video quality. Plus, most of the videos are relatively short in length (we’re talking less than 5 minutes each), so you don’t have to block off hours of your life to watch them.  This is a really great (and FREE) crafting and DIY resource, y’all!

Show Your State Pride: Yellow Rose of Texas Inspired Side Table

by Lindsay Ballard on September 19, 2013 1,708 Comments

Howdy, y’all!  This post is part of an amazing blog tour called Show Your State Pride.  It was put together by my good friend Beckie at Infarrantly Creative, and the blog tour starts there with her cute project featuring Indiana.  If you are following along with the tour, you are probably joining me from Laura at Finding Home.  Welcome!

If you know a Texan (or have even heard of a Texan), it’s probably safe to say that you know we are a special breed of people.  We do everything bigger and have a state pride that’s unmatched elsewhere. Although we do have more than our fair share of crazy stuff and people around here, I have loved living in this bigger-than-life state for the last 30 years.

Because Texans are so prideful, there are actually tons of Texas-centric projects all over Blogland and Pinterest.  But, since Texans are so dang obvious in their love of our state, I decided to do a project that was a little less obvious.  I’m working on putting together Emma’s “Big Girl” room (gah!) and embellished her cute side table – Yellow Rose of Texas style.

Yellow Rose of Texas embellished table - Create your own embellished furniture with vinyl designs! Tutorial at MakelyHome.com

Adorable, right?  And perfect for everyone – even those of you who aren’t forced to learn Texas folk songs in 7th grade Texas History class (Yes, an entire class.  That happens.).
