Craftastic Birthday Basket

08/01/2011

I mentioned in my last post that it was my cousin's birthday party over the weekend, and I just want to share a few things I put together with materials I had on-hand.  I did need to *buy* something sweet to add (after all, it was her sweet 16th!!) but I wanted to take a quick minute to show off and ...

Sassy Headband

07/29/2011

You know, I thought I was relatively fashionable, but it seems maybe I am not.  My cousin's birthday party is tomorrow and I have just been stumped all week trying to think of a cute-little-something to gift her.  I know what *I* like... but alas, she is half my age.  Which makes me not want to say ...

07/25/2011

Holy cow, July has been a busy-crazy-busy-fun month.  This is not craft-related but it does have to do with another passion of mine: writing.Creating through writing is so therapeutic for me.  Every year in November, I participate in National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) and this year is the ...

Hello, and welcome! I'm Adrianne, an artist, author, designer, and blogger in mid Michigan. I work from home, chase my two kids, and this once-city-girl is learning how to care for chickens and adjusting to life out in the country. I have a compulsion for daily creativity... sometimes it's jewelry-making, paper crafting, metal stamping, mixing and baking, or giving new life to recycled items. But with 2 young kids, time is short! My goal here at Happy Hour Projects is to share projects and tips that you can do in an hour or less. The ideas you find here are designed to add a little creativity in your day, no matter how much (or how little) time you have!
