I appreciate his thoughtfulness so much. He went with me to some yard sales a few weeks ago and we came across this little gem. […]

Shabby-Antiqued Cupboard This cupboard was a find my youngest son brought home to me. It had fabulous bones, but it was very blah. Just perfect for a restyle. I started with a layer of light green paint, then continued with several coats of white. I sanded it into yummy, shabby chic submission. I knew I […]

Vintage-Inspired Mini Crocheted Bunnies Crocheted Sunflower Appliques I’ve been doing a lot of re-stocking in my Etsy shop lately. That has been one of my goals for 2015 and so far I have been able to keep up with it. These listings just happen to be crochet items. Crochet just seems to draw me in […]
Crocheted Teddy Bear Teddy is my newest crochet design, thanks to the cold snap we had. I say “had”, because the weather today is warm and beautiful and tomorrow is supposed to be even better. I have no doubt more cold weather is still to come, but for now I am taking the great […]
