~my first-ever book page wreath~

February 25, 2017 / BY Okio B Designs
I've been wanting to do a book page wreath for years now.  To be honest, the whole concept has always scared the bejesus out of me. I had visions of hot gluing my fingers together or running out of pages halfway through.  Still, I took the plunge during the week and... Made this sweet little wreath for our front door.  I found a super simple tutorial to follow from Pinterest.  It's the one where you...

~some bunny to love~

February 16, 2017 / BY Okio B Designs
I love bunnies, don't you?  I have them all over the house and not just for Easter.  It must run in the family because my Mom and sister love them too. I whipped up a few bunny projects earlier in the week.  For this sweet lavender bunny sachet, I used some Osnaburg fabric, Poly-Fil and lavender buds.  I thought the little bow was a cute touch.  It smells delish! I also made this pretty bunny...

This project took me literally 5 minutes from start to finish. You probably know how much I love Ikea's stripe towels.  I've used them in a ton of projects and I always have a bunch on hand. Today I used one along with TAP paper and this great...

Photo courtesy of Melissa and Doug I'm experiencing my third - yes, third! - cold of the season.   I had two boys home sick a few weeks ago.  Then one was home with a fever, runny nose and cough.  Just when I thought I was out of the woods...BANG!  I got hit with it.  Again.  Colds seem to go round-robin in my house and Mom is the one always down for the count. I'm...

~valentine's day book stack~

January 24, 2017 / BY Okio B Designs
I love book stacks.  I have them all over the house.  Sure, it pains me to rip apart perfectly good books, but the end result is so worth it. I'm not making much for Valentine's Day this year since I have a ton of decorations from previous years and I've simply run out of room.  Still, I wanted to make something. I used three books, vintage lace, buttons, twine, my glue gun and some other...
