This cool vanity was given to me by a sweet friend who is always thinking about me. I think she thought it was beyond help when she showed it to me, but it had good basic bones. I just knew it had beauty ready to come out. The bench, on the other hand, did not […]

More restyling from my crate pile. These two crates are the last ones from this pile that I’ll be doing. The last crate I’m gonna leave as is to use as a display in my craft booths and shows. The crates used for this project are the bottom two in this picture. They were very […]
More crate love! If you remember my post on the Farmhouse Crates, I had a pile of old crates that needed attention. This produce crate had a cardboard body similar to chip board. Since the chip board was so sturdy I wanted to try and work with it. The chip board was stained so […]
My husband talked me into doing another spring craft show. I know, I know…after last year I swore (yet again) I would NOT do another show in the spring, but at least with this one we will have a roof over our heads and a floor under our feet…well, sorta. More on that at a […]
Give your porch decor a kickin’ bouquet using recycled cowboy boots. The cowboy boots I used for this project were boots I have had since I was a teenager. (gasp) Yes, I have had them a looong time. They look pretty good after all these years, but that is because this particular pair never got […]

Happy Spring! I shared these last year, but I never posted the tutorial like I had intended. Well, better late than never. Actually, let’s pretend I’m early. After all, you do have a little time before Easter and a little time is all you will need. Abbreviations: ch = chain st = stitch sl st […]
Rain, rain, go away! This process is taking much longer than we anticipated, in large part because it won’t stop raining. This is where we finally moved my wood pile. When we moved into this house in Nov./Dec., we were trying to beat the bad weather and the wood was piled next to the driveway. […]

My Last-Minute Easter Decorations
Last year we had just moved into our tiny rental and I didn’t even decorate for Easter. I also didn’t have room for hosting Easter, as is our tradition. When I sorted through things in our storage units for a yard sale this last summer, I purged a lot of decorations from all holidays. Our […]
