DIY Computer Tote: A New Life for an Old Blazer + a Tutorial
Once upon a time, I decided to attend my first blogging conference. The Haven conference is a DIY & home decor blogger’s conference held annually in Atlanta, so it seemed like the right fit for my first event.
It seemed likely that I’d start to feel a little intimidated at some point as a result of sharing airspace with hundreds of other talented and accomplished ladies (and a few gents, too) and decided that having a piece with me that reminded me of my own talents would be like walking around carrying a little shield, preventing feelings of self-doubt to penetrate my brain.

Shared Office and Craft Room | Spring 2017 One Room Challenge | Week 4
This week’s focus has been on two areas: Decluttering and Organizing. The room both looks and feels very different after this week’s effort, and I’m pleased with the amount of things I’ve gotten rid of and the more organized look of the shelves.
