It's October, which means it's time to decorate for fall/Halloween! I love fall decorating, but I probably love pumpkin pillows probably best of all. My husband says that the pumpkins seem to multiply every year, but this year I haven't bought a single new pumpkin. I may have gotten a few other fall decorations but no new pumpkins, so he should be proud! Normally during this time of year I have a bunch of fall themed crafts or projects that I want to do. I've done pumpkin wreaths, tile mat designs, reconstructed my mom's concrete pumpkin tower and more. This year, though, since my brain is so focused on my son's bedroom build, I haven't felt the fall craft energy like I normally do. However, my mom and I were recently out running errands and we came across two different decorations that I absolutely loved and knew that I  could recreate them at home and wanted to share them with you!

We're going to take a quick pivot from our Argentina content to talk about a previous project. Remember the wall of closets in my mom's house for my grandparents that have now passed away? The one thing I did not do was add edge banding to the drawers and the shelves. So, I figured I would go over why you want to add edge banding to a project and how to do it.

I feel like owning a table saw is something that scares a lot of people and can be a barrier to entry for doing DIY. It may surprise you, but, the first chunk of projects in my DIY journey I completed without a table saw. So I want to talk to you today about how you can do DIY projects without owning a table saw because it is possible!

I'm back again with another tool tutorial. Today we are talking about the Ryobi 15 AMP, 12.5 inch Corded Thickness Planer.

Someone at my daughter's school discovered what I do and they asked me to help out with the set for the elementary school musical, Finding Nemo, this year. After spending some time with teachers and creative directors, we came up with some fun pieces using a variety of different materials. Let me show you what we did!

You know by now that I love tools that make my DIY experience easier. I've made it my mission to share easy tool tutorials as often as I can because we don't gatekeep around here! With that, let's talk about how to use a router and a router table.

A multi tool is a power tool capable of taking on a bunch of different DIY jobs. The one I have is the DEWALT 20V MAX XR Brushless Cordless 3 Speed Oscillating Multi tool. I love this tool because it can be used for SO many different things. It has a head that you can put different attachments onto. I mostly use it for cutting, but you can also use it for sanding and polishing. Let's talk about it!

Having the confidence to start your DIY journey is so much easier when you know which tools to use and how to use them. So, here we are again with another tool tutorial, this time: the dowel hole jig.
