Add a little “farmhouse” to your Easter decor with simple Easter signs made with scrap wood. This is not the first time I’ve made scrap wood signs. As a matter of fact, many themes, seasons and holiday have popped up in my craft room at one time or another. They are a great way to […]

As with all of us, you and your kids are probably scared, nervous and wondering what else is going to change or be cancelled because of COVID-19. While I can’t answer what will change, I do know Easter will not be cancelled, although it may be celebrated a bit differently this year. This is a […]

Crochet T-Shirt Yarn Farmhouse Tray-Free Pattern
I may have a problem. I like fast crochet projects and the fastest projects are the ones that use bulky or chunky yarns. Crocheting with t-shirt yarn (tarn) is one of my favorite chunky yarns to use. While that probably doesn’t seem like a problem, my growing stash of hoarded t-shirts might be. T-shirt yarn […]
Don’t throw those bits and snips of leftover fabric scraps! Make your own scrap fabric twine instead! If you’re anything like me, you already have a box or two (or ten) filled with those fabric scraps you just couldn’t bring yourself to dispose of. After all, they might be just the right thing for a […]

Easter Decor Inspiration # 4-Wood Easter Porch Sign
Just like Christmas isn’t about Santa Claus and reindeer, Easter isn’t about bunnies and eggs. That’s why I wanted to add a special Wood Easter Porch Sign into my holiday decor.

Upcycle your old vases into cute, galvanized, farmhouse-style vases using paint. Let’s face it, everybody has a few of these in their cupboards from flower delivers on special occasions. If you don’t, don’t sweat it. Quite honestly, they can be picked up at thrift stores and yard sales for pennies on the dollar. A quick […]
Oh the things my husband gifts me with…should I be offended? Nope! Not me! These kind of presents get my restyling DIY imagination going. He picked it up at a yard sale. It was pretty filthy, but it had great bones for a DIY bench makeover. Even the hinges on the lid were in pretty […]

Kids’ Table & Chairs {3 R’s: Reconstructed, Reimagined, Restyled}
This is the kind of project that starts with huge doubts, but I end up in love with the finished product. A friend was packing up and cleaning out her mother’s house after she relocated and asked if I would be interested in any of the things they were getting rid of. Honestly, I think […]
Recycle old forks and a teacup into a chic candle stand. My craft supplies are usually acquired secondhand, and I am always looking for ways to give them a new life. The silver forks in this project were a yard sale find. Since cleaning the tarnish off of silverware is not my thing, I […]
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 […]
