Sometimes you just have to let your hair down. Tonight I did just that. My husband and I don’t often go out just for us. Many of you know that when you have kids your outings usually revolve around their lives and activities, but our town has the best musical festivals. Winfield, Kansas is known […]

Glass Insulator/Bed Spring Candle Holder I’ve seen these candle holders before, but my bed springs have never been ones I thought I could use. That wire is almost impossible to cut through. At least that is what I thought. This past weekend I was out with my husband and we spotted one of these candle […]
After all the preparations that went into my son’s graduation a week ago, we planned a quiet, relaxing Memorial Day weekend with visiting friends. Yep, you know how that probably went. We ate too much, tried to do too much and stayed up too late. I think when we were younger we could have handled […]

More Stenciled Signs
I love, love, love the way this sign turned out. We were invited to the wedding of one of my son’s friends. My son was/is in the wedding, but the rest of us were unable to go as we have company for the weekend. I still wanted to send a special gift. The registry looked […]
Blue Jean Tablecloths I originally made these four years ago for another graduation party and am finally getting around to writing down what I did. Since they were completely made using recycled jeans the cost was free. With all the expenses of throwing a party, not having to buy tablecloths is a win-win. You will […]
I’m almost embarrassed to call this a tutorial. It was so simple, but it made a big impact on the decor of my son’s graduation party. I used ordinary household rope. I bought this rope at Walmart. It was in the aisle where the clotheslines and clothespins are. Blue fabric was ripped into 1-inch wide […]

While preparing for graduation I decided we needed to clean out the garage. We had a garage sale last September, and are planning on another in the next […]

Graduation Sign From Campaign Sign
Graduation Decor From Campaign Sign I live on rural property just off a highway that gets a lot of traffic everyday. We get many requests for posting campaign signs. No matter the party, we will usually approve the requests as long as the opposing parties respect the property (signs) of the other. This is not […]
This Little Light Of Mine Birdbath I’ve wanted to make one of these for a long time, but I couldn’t seem to find all the pieces I needed for it…until last week. I had already purchased a few lamp bases at yard sales, but I couldn’t seem to find any flat plate-like ceiling fixtures for […]
I love sharing my crafts and latest restyling projects on my little blog. I also enjoy sharing happenings in my life and I enjoy reading little life moments on the many blogs that I follow. Other than my DIY posts, the things I write are usually happy, funny or relatable stories. This one is different. […]
