Primitive Pumpkin Bed Spring
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 […]
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 […]

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 […]
