I am currently on a cross country adventure, but I thought I'd quickly share a project I finished before I hit the road. I'm not a seamstress. This will not be a sewing tutorial; you do not want to learn how to sew from me! That being said, I'm pretty proud of this finished product. … Continue reading Sew Proud
Burlap and Lace Garland
My daughter and son-in -law recently moved out of their first apartment and because of the timing of everything, I was in charge of turning in their keys. I decided to take the opportunity to make an imprint of the key on a homemade Christmas ornament; this is what inspired the garland project. I had … Continue reading Burlap and Lace Garland
Outdoor Christmas Wreaths
I thought I'd take a few moments on this snowy Monday to share my most recent Christmas decor project. I live in an old farmhouse and I have always loved the pictures of houses where there is a wreath in every window. However, I do not like the idea of spending money on all those … Continue reading Outdoor Christmas Wreaths
My Workshop
I've been spending some time out in the barn this fall getting my workshop set up. (So has my loving husband. I'm so glad he puts up with my shenanigans!) I've had a shop out there for a while but it wasn't set up to my liking; I was just using it as is and … Continue reading My Workshop
Christmas Tree Farm Sign
I am very fond of the current farmhouse decor trend, especially all the Christmas stuff. (I mean I do live in a farmhouse, so...) I have seen vintage inspired tree farm signs EVERYWHERE and I decided I wanted to make one of my own so I could personalize it. And, as we all know, I … Continue reading Christmas Tree Farm Sign
Fall Dollar Store Up-cycle

When I got out my decorations this year I really felt like I needed a little something more to put in my kitchen. I really like the buttermilk colored pumpkins, but I … Continue reading Fall Dollar Store Up-cycle
Green Thumb
I've been working on a couple of thrift store finds that I'm quite excited about. I'm turning two candle holders into plant holders...plant art...plant sculpture? I'm not sure what to call them, but I'm pretty happy with the end result. The first one is a wall mounted piece that cost me about three dollars. It … Continue reading Green Thumb
In The Works
It has been a while since I posted anything on this site but that will be changing in the near future. I have been working on some home redecorating projects and some smaller projects that I need to write about soon. In next week, I should have my entryway project finished and I'll be able … Continue reading In The Works
Feeling inspired
Life has been busy. I started a new job and am studying for certification exams; it hasn't left much time for creating or writing. But today I got inspired. My daughter got married in May and like most newlyweds, she doesn't have many Christmas decorations and she loves Christmas...so I made her some. The letters … Continue reading Feeling inspired
A Finished Product!
So this concussion business has really slowed down every single part of my life, so I'm pretty pumped that I finally finished a project. I had to do it in small chunks because of the fatigue and aggravating brain issues I've been experiencing but I'm happy with the end result. So here is the before: … Continue reading A Finished Product!
