I'm running behind on my holiday decorating - ugh! I always start early and feel I'm on top of it - then the next thing I know I've fallen behind. I have a wall really in need of some holiday cheer, and it needs to be a Quick, Easy, Frugal, already have materials type of [...]
I'm starting to focus on my holiday projects.. When I was at a garage sale I found these frames... for $1 each, this is when my inspiration hit me. Took them home, painted white, and took apart. I made a template of the frame back by using a manilla file folder ... I sprayed the [...]
Wondering around at Salvation Army last March (see how dreary) found this lamp for $8 bucks... I was attracted to it, it's different, can't remember ever seeing a coffee pot lamp before? It's solid metal, and pretty heavy. Got it home, and put in the trash to treasure room, aka "the garage". It's turns out [...]
Bought several pumpkins from Dollar Tree, Now what to do, what to do, Took me a long time before I decided on a pumpkin with ruffles... Isn't it cute? Here's how... Used a stencil knife to cut out the stem, then primed with white paint. Ripped 6, 1 1/4" wide strips using Osnaburg muslin (love [...]

Over the years I've run across some great porcelain pieces - many with a nick or two. I've fallen in love with them even with their imperfections. Let me share with you how I've been repairing them. I found this rooster.... He's cute isn't he. BUT I didn't like his color, or the fact [...]
I love fall, even though it 's not officially fall yet the weather is certainly acting like it - sunny days and cooler nights. With the cooler weather my energy level has really perked up, not a hot weather girl. The other night as I sat on the couch I knew I wanted to [...]
I've been wanting to join on the bandwagon for making signs. Love signs. But I haven't. I don't know why I've been so hesitant to try it. Then one day at Goodwill I found this cute egg sign. Placed it by my "in progress" kitchen vignette, and decided to leave it there for a [...]
I have been known to wait until the last minute to do things, and this Spring/Easter project is no exception. To be honest this project was put together about 3 weeks ago. Things have been a little crazy around here (all good) and I'll fill you in on the details soon. I wanted a budget [...]
