Red, White, & Indigo

Independence Day is the perfect day for BBQ, sparklers, and a side of DIY. This workshop hosted by Joya of Joya Rose Designs and Katherine of The Habitat Factory is the exact kind of summer soiree we spend our days swooning over.  This step by step tutorial will guide you into creating your own beautiful indigo dyed linen napkins. See full DIY here.

We can't wait to throw an indigo dip dye party of our own! Happy 4th of July!

Crafty Projects for your 4th of July Weekend

While we don't have a brand new DIY for your this 4th of July, we have plenty of craft projects in our arsenal that are perfect for celebrating the holiday and the long weekend ahead (we hope you have off or are taking off this Friday)! Last July we brought you this tea towel stencil DIY - this adorable design can be stenciled onto a table cloth, a pillow case or a plain white t-shirt.

We're guessing you'll be sipping something delicious this weekend-- these drink flags will turn any ordinary beverage into a party and can easily be made with some wooden dowels and scraps of paper. Even if you don't make them our stop motion how-to video is pretty fun to watch.

Here's a recipe for a super simple but delicious lemon poppy seed ice cream. You can bring it to your picnic in the park! Invite download available here.

Whatever you do this holiday weekend we hope you get plenty of sunshine and relaxation!
