I few days ago, I received an order to make another one of my Milk & Cream Co. signs. I still love the design and have used it on a few other projects in the past, but after making and selling more than 40 of the the signs, I feel like I could do it in my sleep, so it doesn’t feel all that creative to me anymore. As I finished the sign, I started thinking about other ways I could {Read More}
Image Transfer on Glass
March 28, 2015 by 60 Comments
Yesterday I showed you my new twine dispenser with an antique graphic on it, and I promised that today I would share how to add an image transfer on glass. You’ll never throw an empty food jar away again, once you see how easy it is to do! Although the process is similar to doing a regular image transfer, there is no transfer medium used, and the image isn’t permanent, so it’s also like putting a removable decal on glass. Let’s get started!

Scrap Wood Table Trivets
March 18, 2015 by 31 Comments
While my husband has been busy installing plank walls in our bedroom, I’ve been like a squirrel gathering nuts, except I’ve been gathering up all the little scrap wood pieces that he’s trimmed off the edges of the boards. I really am starting to think I might have a problem with a capital P when it comes to wood. If I find a piece that is bigger than my thumb, I don’t want to see it end up in the {Read More}
Rustic Nesting Crate Display
March 14, 2015 by 5 Comments
I have a pretty good stock of pallet wood now, and I was brainstorming more projects I could make with it, when I remembered some old chicken nesting crates (at least that’s what I think they were) that I kept finding in antique stores a few years ago. I loved all of them, and they all sold in my online shop quickly, so I knew they appealed to others as well. I went back and looked at the photos of them, and decided I would {Read More}
Valspar Chalky Finish Paint Review – Painted Mason Jars & Sign
March 11, 2015 by 66 Comments
Have you heard the news that Lowes is now carrying new Valspar Chalky Finish Paint? This is great news for those who like premixed chalk style paint, but don’t live near any retailers of Annie Sloan or other chalk style paints. I heard it was coming out, and was looking forward to testing it. I’ve tried a lot of chalk-style paints, as well as made my own, so I wanted to see how it compares.
Pallet Wood Bathtub Table
March 9, 2015 by 9 Comments
I’m a die-hard bathtub soaker, and always have been. If I had to guess, I’d say that at least 75% of my blog posts have been written while soaking in my bathtub. It’s the one place in the house where I don’t get distracted by people, the tv, or the phone, so I can concentrate, and relax at the same time. A bathtub table is a must for me, and I’ve had several of them over the years. Both were made my {Read More}
Pretty Kitties, a Crate Disguise, and a $100 Visa Card Giveaway
March 3, 2015 by 258 Comments
Our two cats have a knack for photo bombing when I’m taking pictures for the blog or my Etsy shop. Last week, I was working on a project, and I turned around to grab my camera off the counter behind me. By the time I turned back around, there was already a cat making herself comfy right next to my project. They do this constantly! While I officially introduce them to you today, I’m also going to talk about another kind of bombing {Read More}
