****This project was originally posted three years ago, but I thought it was time for a revival. I put away the Christmas decorations this week and it really looks bare around here. It’s been a few years since I did a lot of decorating for Valentine’s Day. My boys are grown ups, and let’s be […]

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 […]
I moved!!! Those two words have a million more surrounding them, but I will try to summarize. We received an offer on our house the week before Christmas. Yes, apparently houses DO sell in the winter. The buyers were getting an FHA loan, which required a bunch of picky fixes to the property for the […]
Oops! It’s been two weeks since I last posted. Sigh. What can I say?…life happens…nuff said…:) Have you ever wanted to build a waterfall in your yard? I may be a bit biased, but I think this is absolutely beautiful! Why biased? Because this waterfall was built by my son. He works for Quality Outdoor […]
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.

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.

Years ago I purchased a brand new spinning wheel to spin my own yarn. At the time we owned sheep, so creating beautiful skeins of yarn with this resource seemed like a natural next step. Well, I was naive. The spinning wheel beat me. I’m not proud of admitting that. I have mastered many DIY […]
While this post isn’t about a DIY or craft project, I think you all will understand if I take a moment to brag on my last born. Friday night my youngest son was crowned king of the 2013 Winter Homecoming for Winfield High School. God didn’t give me the recipe for making girls, so I […]
Oh yes I did! I made my own “Grab My Button” for my blog and a clickable button for my Etsy shop. I have been wanting to figure out how to make buttons for quite some time. It seems that every blog I follow has one, so I wanted one too. There’s a very special […]

Stacked Wood Valentine Decor
In a household of guys it has sometimes been a challenge expressing my girly-girl personality. My favorite color is pink, and for some reason that color always gets shot down when suggested for room decor. Hmm…I am also in love with anything painted shabby chic, but hubby likes the look of real wood. (sigh) Over […]
