Resin Coffee Lovers Necklace Tutorial at www.happyhouprojects.com

I have a good friend who's a coffee lover just like I am, and I got obsessed with the idea of making her a coffee-themed necklace.  I love the coffee dies in the Sizzix Tim Holtz line (in fact, I made a coffee-lovers' card earlier this year using this same die) and realized that die-cutting shrink ...

Simple Hammered Brass Earrings at www.happyhourprojects.com

Post Summer Perk-Up Project: Bathroom Update at www.happyhourprojects.com

This post is promoted by Target. This has been the summer of fixing up the main bathroom.  It all started with me wanting a new faucet, and the project just got bigger and bigger and bigger.  The good news is that it's all done now!  But as I was looking at my gorgeously neutral new room, I thought ...

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!
