How to Transform Nesting Tables Into Adorable Farmhouse Decor
I had such a strong vision for these cute nesting tables that I began working on them before I realized I hadn’t taken a photo in their original state. To be honest, there was nothing wrong with them. They were just ordinary, boring and had no character, but I knew they would look extraordinary and […]
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 […]

New Signs at Trunk N Treasures
My previous stock of signs at Trunk N Treasures in Winfield, Kansas was pretty depleted so it was time to add some more. As you know, I will paint just about anything that doesn’t move. This was a window that had broken. I just added a backing and used the window as a frame. Perfect […]

Bushel and a Peck Signs The new sign I made for my Valentine’s Day front porch started it. I loved it so much that I couldn’t stop at just one. I made the one on my porch using a cupboard door, but I decided to use old wood from my wood pile to make more. […]

Valentine’s Day Porch Decorating
Valentine’s Day Porch As promised a few weeks ago, I am ready to reveal my Valentine’s Day decorating on my porch. I’m pretty proud of myself because everything I made was done using things I already had. This sign was made using one of my newest sign stencils. I make them myself using my Cricut. […]
