GOOD THINGS: [diy | paper cup | wreath]

i think this is definitely a cute DIY wreath made out for paper cups and some ribbon by Twig & Thistle. Of course the chalk board board is a nice touch as well. I personally would've loved to put the couples monogram in the middle of the wreath also, but all in all a wonderfully good thing!

GOOD THINGS: [diy | flower | pin]

Today's Good Thing is this DIY fabric flower pin. I still thing a flower pin is a cute accent to certain outfits. A few years ago, i was actually going to buy one from Nordstroms that looks almost exactly like this one. Good thing i didn't because now I can make it myself with Made By Lex's How-To. love!!

GOOD THINGS: [cooking tip | chopping | garlic]

I'm taking this "Good Thing" straight from the creator of it, Martha Stewart.

I don't know about you but when I chop garlic it always gets stuck to the knife on the other side of the blade. Here's Martha's garlic trick.

"sprinkle a pinch of kosher salt and a drop of olive oil over the cloves before chopping; the salt acts as an abrasive, helping to pulverize the garlic, and the oil lets it slide off the blade. To make a paste, lay the side of the knife on the garlic and, applying even pressure, drag it across the garlic several times."

I'll definitely going to trip this trick the next time I have to chop some garlic.

GOOD THINGS: [diy | felt | hearts]

Another DIY craft project just in time for Valentine's Day.

This one is hand sewn felt hart pins by The Purl Bee. You'll never want to by Vday cards again. Why would you when you can give a heart instead?!

You can pin them to a blank card to make your own card and then they can pin the heart onto their clothing or you can leave the pin off and also use them as vase fillers.

This crafty idea is definitely a good thing!

Head over to The Purl Bee to get the How-To.

Have fun!
