We had some frost last night. No snow, just frost.  But for a couple hours, it looked so pretty with the grass all dusted white  and the rooftops sugared like a gingerbread house.  All gone now.....it leaves me with a longing for SNOW.  We haven't had any here this year. In fact, in general, North America has been low in the snow department.  Ski … [Read more...]

I go through spurts of sewing and this weekend I was spurting for some reason! I thought I'd show you another side of what I do with some of the re-purposed clothing I make to sell. I find most all of my clothing pieces at thrift stores. This bag is made from a skirt I have had in my "to do" basket for quite awhile. It's frayed and shabby, just … [Read more...]

Today I am re-posting an old tutorial I did. I was moving tutorials to the "tutorial" page and realized that this might be something nice to see again! Back in August I think I had 3 followers so I can pretty safely say most of you haven't seen it! Sunflowers are sort of Fall-like but with Spring stuff showing up everywhere, I was in the need of a … [Read more...]

I came across these little ceramic containers a week ago.  They've been sitting here untouched until today. I've mulled over several things....chalkboard paint? Numbers? Sayings? Labels?

Today is my grandson's birthday!! Last Saturday, my daughter threw a party for him here at the house.  Apparently, according to my grandson, we have the "party room".  It's large, with a big TV and sound system and (most crucial) it's filled with castoff furniture!  Perfect for a bunch of middle school age kids to go crazy....apparently...LOL I've … [Read more...]

Happy Valentine's Day! Yesterday I received a beautiful box of red roses from my honey. I can never leave well enough alone and flowers are no exception. I usually break up bouquets anyway and make smaller arrangements around the house. One of my favorite arrangements is a simple rounded bouquet.. I learned to do this from a florist. She was my … [Read more...]

As I wrote that I couldn't help thinking of the song..."Bye Bye Love"....showing my age here! Speaking of age, my blog is now 9 months old and I have topped 100 followers so guess what? It's time to say goodbye to Debbiedoo's Newbie group.....sniff, sniff... It's been so wonderful to have her support as I blogged away here. I didn't find her until … [Read more...]
