Usher in the cool days of fall with a primitive pumpkin bed spring craft. Yes, I realize it is July, but as a crafter who sells her crafts, it is never too early to begin making seasonal items. Bed springs have always been a favorite “junk” find of mine. I have made a variety of […]
Tag: craft show
Dig out your fall fabric scraps to make raggedy sunflower blossoms for fall decor. As we get closer to fall my to-do list turns to crafts that will sell at fall craft shows. Even though I also sell my crafts at a local store, I am hoping the COVID-19 restrictions won’t end up cancelling the […]
After the gift of a tattered vintage quilt and assorted quilt pieces that a friend’s mother was throwing out, I pictured an appliqued table mat that would repurpose all of these elements. The quilt had areas that were beyond repair, so turning it into a cutter quilt and repurposing it for other projects was not […]

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 […]

DIY Shabby Chic Desk Transformation
This desk was pretty rough, but I have definitely restyled worse. I am pretty sure the man at the yard sale thought I was nuts. He couldn’t imagine it was salvageable so he sold it to me for a dollar. Yep, one dollar. One of the drawers needed to be put back together, it was […]
