Scrap Wood Shamrock Signs This project really took on a life of its own. I sell lighter, smaller things on Etsy, mainly because bigger, heavier things are more expensive to ship. So what do I do with the furniture and wood things that I make when I am not doing craft shows?…I sell them on […]

Wow! You gotta love a husband who is still a romantic after almost 30 years of marriage. I had unexpected company this afternoon. These beautiful people are the Cowley College Singers. They delivered a Singing Valen-gram that my husband had ordered from them. They sang two songs to me and presented me with a carnation […]
Red Checked Footstool I picked up this little gem at an auction I recently attended. It really wasn’t much to look at, but I liked the legs and skirting. The top opened and I am assuming there used to be a bottom to keep things in. The bottom was long gone. The hinges on the […]
Restyled Junk on Etsy The last couple of years have been jammed with lots of real life events (selling a house and moving twice, to name just a few) and my Etsy shop had become a bit dusty and full of cobwebs. I’m not much for New Year’s resolutions, but I did set out to […]

Cutter Quilt Knapsack I made this project last year, but I never posted it on my blog. I had cut pieces to make a few more, but didn’t get around to finishing them. Since the weather has turned frigid again, it’s the perfect time to pull them out and complete them. That’s what I’m working […]
Shabby Chic “LOVE” Sign Another window of opportunity. The temperature today was in the 50s and it was sunny. Tomorrow’s weather takes a header again, so I took advantage of today’s reprieve. A new sign was just busting to come to life. I started by making a stencil with my Cricut. If you don’t have […]
Crocheted Carrot Bags Brrr!!! It’s cold again! sigh… Oh well, it was expected. And since it was expected I was prepared with a snug and warm, sitting-on-the-couch, crochet project. I’m channeling Spring, so I came up with carrots for Easter. Yep, those roots say “just picked”. These carrots are bags! They’re perfect for favors, small […]
