Crafts and DIY done in 30 minutes or less
Around my sink is a disaster of sponges, hand soap, dish soap, dish rags, and nipples to baby bottles. Not attractive. But with this quick and easy dish soap project from the V Spot, I can glam up my kitchen sink!

It is hot, hot, hot this summer! All I want to do is hang out around the house and veg out. Preferably in one of these super comfy skirts by Blooms and Bugs. And, since they are quick and easy to make, I can whip out one (or three) in no time flat, without breaking a sweat, and still feel like I accomplished something!

I can’t believe our Crafty Quickies week is over! Before I get into today’s round-up, I want to give a HUGE thank-you to my co-host Angie from The Country Chic Cottage. This was her amazing idea. When she first approached me with the idea of doing a series on crafts that can be completed in 15 minutes, I thought maybe we were being over-ambitious. Though this blog is all about crafts that can be done in 30 minutes or less, she was looking to cut that time in half!
Any doubts I had were silly, of course. As you can see by the posts that Angie and I have been featuring all week, as well as the amazing crafts in the link-up, 15 minutes is oodles of time to make something! Proving that we all have time to be creative – each day or each week. We can fit crafting into even the most busy life!
The Sick Chick made this dyed scarf in 15 minutes. It is so amazing that if Angie and I do something like this again, I’m going to suggest a clause whereby all participating bloggers send a sample of their project. Because I love this scarf. Good thing there is an amazingly detailed tutorial so that I can make my own!
My co-host, Angie, created this Doily Pillow using doilies as stencils. How great is that? And you’ll NEVER guess what she used as the “base” for this pillow! So head on over to find out!
In just 15 minutes you can make a cute Easter Bunny or Chick out of recycled materials using this tutorial from My Very Educated Mother. So cute! And great Easter decor. I can’t believe that Easter is next week already! Where has the time gone?
Over at The Pennington Point you’ll find this awesome photo display board. Simple, clever, and can easily be changed out as you have new photos you want to display. I love that!
And this morning, I showed you that sentiment doesn’t have to be hours in the making. It also doesn’t have to be hours in the breaking… my son decided that he “wanted” the key, and has since peeled it off. But, it wasn’t a labor-intensive project that is totally ruined… so I went with it. Yet another great benefit to simple, quick (and inexpensive) crafting.
Thanks again to Angie, and all the wonderful bloggers who threw caution to the winds and spent 15 minutes crafting… and then an hour or more editing photos, and typing up instructions!
Make sure you didn’t miss a single minute!! Check out the roundups from Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday as well as the great projects shared on the Crafty Quickies Linky Party!
Make sure to come back often as I inspire you to get your craft on, and move on, in 30 minutes or less!
Until Next Time!
This was a fun quick craft, and it just goes to show that a labor of love doesn’t have to be decades – or even hours – in the making. My son loves this little key in a frame. He’s at that age where keys are a “big deal” and he loves all things key and lock related. Which results in plenty of locked doors that shouldn’t be. But, that is a story for another day… actually, more like several more stories while we share a bottle of wine!
If you want to take a few minutes to share your own “key to my heart” sentiment… here’s how:
Make sure you read further for all kinds of other great projects you can do in 15 minutes or less… I’ll be back later today with another great round-up of posts!
Until Next Time!

Make sure to come again tomorrow for even more quick crafts! In the meantime, check out the roundups from Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, as well as the great projects shared on the Crafty Quickies Linky Party!
Until Next Time!
Hubby and I decided to do the baby’s nursery in Dinosaurs. Which, of course, includes a fun dinosaur print. To make a going-home outfit for baby, I decided it would be fun for him to match his new decor. So, I put together a quick going-home outfit for him. Really, it is just a shirt with a raw-edge applique dinosaur, and a matching pair of pants. But, as far as he’s concerned, “mommy made it”. And that should be all that matters, right?
I bought a pack of side-snap shirts from Target. These are the best for infants, because they don’t put any pressure on the still-healing umbilical cord. And, a couple pairs of pants that coordinate with my dinosaur fabric.
Make sure you stop by again this evening for a Crafty Quickie roundup! Angie from The Country Chic Cottage and I have lots of fun quick crafts to share, and so do several other bloggers! We’ve been sharing them all week. Check out the roundups from Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, as well as the great projects shared on the Crafty Quickies Linky Party!
Until Next Time!

Day three of the Crafty Quickies week that I’m hosting with Angie from The Country Chic Cottage… and I am so glad that I don’t have to pick a favorite! So many amazing quick crafts. It just goes to show that there is always enough time to craft up something fun!
For more fast crafting inspiration, we have some great quick crafts linked up to the Crafty Quickies Linky… make sure to add your own as well!
Until Next Time!
In less than a month, we’ll be adding a new member to the family! This means packing hospital bags. Several of them. For me, with everything I’ll need… from clothes to phone chargers. But also a special bag for 3-year-old “Little Moore” who will be coming to the hospital to visit me and his new baby brother. I thought it would be fun to whip up a special hospital bag just for him!
I picked up a plain red tote bag at Michaels. This is the perfect size for a puzzle, a couple small toys, and some snacks. And, it is just the right size for him to carry himself… which will be very handy when mama’s arms are full of baby (and baby gear)!
I just used two paints, and since the two paints never actually touch each other, I didn’t have to worry about the one drying before starting on the second.
In less than 15 minutes, I created a custom tote for my little guy. One that he can tell his little brother “NO! That’s MINE!” for years to come.
Make sure to swing back by later today for a roundup of more Crafty Quickies from some other amazing bloggers including Angie who is partnering with me to create this fun week of fast crafts. You can also check out Monday’s and Tuesday’s Crafty Quickies roundups for more great ideas!
And if you have a Crafty Quickie of your own to share, you can link it up at the Crafty Quickies Linky!
Until Next Time!
When Angie and I asked our fellow craft bloggers to come up with 15 minute crafts to share as part of our Crafty Quickies series, I had no idea that we’d get this variety of awesome crafts (and it is only day two)! It just goes to show that no matter what kind of crafting you’re into, there is a quick craft that will surely satisfy, no matter the time crunch! Unless you’re already running late, you have no excuse to not drop everything and try out one of these amazing crafts!
That’s all the time I have today… I’ve got some quick crafting to do!
Until Next Time!
