It's that time of the year again that I like to Alcoholidays. When your weird uncle comes over and your mother gets drunk. Ahh.. family time. Regardless, gotta feel thankful for something right? Here's a low key DIY that'll get everyone in the mood.

Easter Bunny Place Mats

March 27, 2017 Aika Danayeva
Easy Easter Crafts

I'll be the first to admit, Christ rising does not equate to bunnies and stuff. But once we're over the hump of Valentine's Day, every store brings out peeps and chocolate bunnies. So you know what they say, if you can't beat 'em, join 'em.

Jacket: WhoWhatWear x Target. Dress: Loft. Shoes: Aldo

I saw this jacket a while ago and as cool as I thought it was, $300 for a blinged out jacket was a bit too much. So when I saw this affordable version, I was like, DING DING DING! I could bling this out myself! So I did.

I don't know about you, but January is rough for me... any year. I always look forward to it, but inadvertently get disappointed. This January was no exception. I find that making things with my hands tends to help.

Felted Elbow Patch

Felted Cat Elbow Patch

Happy 2016, everyone! Don't you feel like you can do anything in this year? I do! And what better way to start than with a DIY. For those who know me, you know that I'm a kitty fanatic so it felt (see what I did there?) appropriate to make this elbow patch. All it takes it about 10 minutes and voila!

Gifts for Him 2015

December 7, 2015 Aika Danayeva

I don't know about you, but every year I am always stumped as to what to get for the men in my family and my life. I tend to err on the practical side, staying far away from useless gifts, but trying to keep it special at the time same time. It's a challenge.

Thanksgiving Burlap Table Run

November 12, 2015 Aika Danayeva
Thanksgiving Burlap

Out of all the fall holidays, I feel like Thanksgiving is the most genuine. The reason for that is because the whole idea of it is simply sitting around a dinner table and being thankful. Unlike Christmas, there is no present giving, but simply enjoying everyone's company. This year, for the first time, I'll be having a Friendsgiving and cooking for my band of misfits. I wanted to decorate the house accordingly by making this burlap table run. ...

Beer Can Succulents

Beer can succulent

I used to work at this Japanese restaurant and toward the end of my time there, they put these new beers on the menu. Naturally, I freaked out when I saw Wednesday Cat because it had a kitty on the label. The beer hails from Yo-Ho Brewery and tastes similar to a sweeter version of a Hoegaarden. ...

Punny Coasters

September 16, 2015 Aika Danayeva
Punny Coasters

I am a big fan of puns. I like them in any form and I believe it's a fair way to gauge person's intelligence - that is whether or not they understand the pun. My Halloween costume last year was (sort of) punny - I was trying to be a literal version of a Gladiator in a Suit.  Only Scandal fans got it :-(

As the holiday season in full swing, so is your ever expanding gift list. With so many options out there, I prefer to make my own gift tags. I got my stamps from Paper-Source last year along with the tags and the ink pad. The total cost of all the supplies is less $40 and it’s a gift(tag) that keeps on giving. Happy Alcoholidays!

Lately, I’ve been seeing tons of book clutches (like here and here). They’re cute, quirky and cost over $1000. Now I know for sure that as a server, even in a high-end restaurant, I can’t buy the clutch and pay my rent. So I decided to make my own ghetto version. ...
