Using t-shirts to make a t-shirt quilt is a great way to make memories last, especially if the time spent collecting those t-shirts has come to an end. That was exactly the case with my youngest son and his girlfriend. Last month they both graduated from Pittsburg State University. Months earlier my son had requested […]

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Blue Jean Tablecloths I originally made these four years ago for another graduation party and am finally getting around to writing down what I did.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 […]

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 […]

New Scrappy Tags on Etsy
Scrappy Manly Tags As usual, I couldn’t stop at just a few of these tags once I got my groove on. With father’s Day and graduations coming up, not to mention birthdays, other celebrations and thinking-of-you moments, I stitched up a batch for my Etsy Store-Restyled Junk. But wait! I was also out of Scrappy […]
School Letter Decor Using Rulers I’m trying to be super frugal with the decorations for my son’s graduation celebration because money will need to be spent on necessities like food and drinks. A few weeks ago I shared my Rustic Ruler Star. I still had rulers left over, so I decided to play with them. […]

Graduation Party Balloon Weights
Graduation Party Balloon Weights Things are getting busy around here. My youngest will be graduating in a month and it seems like there is a “last” everything. This weekend was the last prom. I can’t even begin to list, or possibly keep straight, all the activities that have recently occurred and will continue to occur. […]
