This one pot tortellini primavera is all the cheesy tortellini goodness but with a bit more veggies, which makes this feel like a nice, spring-y sort of pasta, I think! The veggies in this are really versatile as well- you could easily substitute any type of veggie you have on hand, I think! Find the great recipe here.

For when you don’t want to decide between a brownie or a cookie! which for me, that’s most days, really. Brownie cookies! You definitely needs these in your life, and they would be a delicious weekend baking treat! Doesn’t take a load of different ingredients, either. Check the recipe out over here.

I am in awe of how beautiful these crocheted potholders are! These are a free pattern on Ravelry, and would be a brilliant way to not only destash some yarn, btu also to test drive a really interesting crochet stitch. It looks tricky, but in a smaller square, it’s a great place to practice! Practical AND beautiful, don’t you think? Find the free pattern here.

I actually have a couple of these ghost chairs, so this seems especially accessible and fun to me, but they would work with any clear chair or stool! This is a pretty easy DIY that modge-podges the glitter to the back of the chair, where it won’t catch on your clothes. And you’ll definitely want to seal it up afterwards, so you don’t get glitter all over the floors! But such a fun idea, especially for a girls room. Find the full DIY here.

If you could really use a fun Easter and spring themed DIY for your door, this bunny pom pom wreath is pretty cute and sure to put a smile on the face of anyone who seems it. I love it in the simple cream tones here (and could be a great way to use up leftover shades of white and off white in your stash), but would also be cute in pastel colours, don’t you think? The ears are done in felt with some wired behind them! Find the full DIY right here.

I hope that you all have a great last weekend of March. I can’t believe how quickly March has gone by- it feels like there’s so much going on everywhere, it can be hard to catch your breath. But I hope you are taking some time for yourselves, to rest and recharge.
