When I was a little girl, one of my favorite things to do at Christmas time was to lie underneath the Christmas tree and stare up at the glowing colored lights. Nine times out of ten, I’d drift off to sleep lying there, while visions of kiss cookies and Christmas presents danced in my head. I’m too big to get under the tree now, so I came up with two easier ways to enjoy Christmas lights around the house. Remember {Read More}
Mistletoe Christmas Crate & Cat on the Naughty List
December 7, 2016 by 5 Comments
Have you ever watched adorable little children waiting in line for their turn to sit on Santa’s lap, then one of those sweet little cherubs climbs on and proceeds to pull Santa’s beard and push on his belly, just to see if it’s real? Well, if our new little cat was a child, she’d be THAT child. Don’t let looks deceive you. She looks sweet now, but you don’t know what she’s put me through today. I was trying to {Read More}

If you’ve been a regular visitor of my blog for awhile, you may remember the grain sack typography chair makeover I did a few years ago (seen HERE). Well, today is a day of totally trashed chair projects, and I have other typography chair to show you that I finished, as well as a broken chair that I turned into a shelf. Here’s the first chair. I bought it at an auction several years ago, and stored it in my barn {Read More}

Farmhouse Totes – Farmhouse Friday
June 17, 2016 by 6 Comments
If I asked you to name one piece of decor in your home that not only looks great, but is functional as well, what would your answer be? #1 on my list has to be totes. They are hard-working and can be used in any room in the house, from the bathroom, to the kitchen, to the craft room – even the garage. You can buy vintage totes, upcycle a thrift store tote, or make them from scratch. My favorite {Read More}

Mr. Claus has been a wee bit jealous that I’ve made a lot of projects dedicated to his wife, so it was time to give give the jolly old guy some attention too, with a pallet wood Christmas tray. I wouldn’t want to get on his naughty list!
Old Shipping Crate – New Stencil Design!
September 11, 2015 by 20 Comments
I’ve been batting around ideas for a new stencil design, and the thought of creating one that could be used to make antique style wooden shipping crates popped into my head. I absolutely love old crates, but have you seen the prices on them lately? Yikes! They are super expensive – especially if they have cool typography on them. I love getting the real thing when it’s affordable, but since I haven’t found one in several years, creating my own is the {Read More}

Rosemary & Thyme and a Garden Herbs Sign
July 23, 2015 by 6 Comments
I know I’ve climbed on this soapbox before, so please forgive me, but I’ve just got to gripe about it one more time. Why in the world do companies – especially companies that have been around forever – switch from awesome product packaging made of metal with fantastic designs, to ugly plastic and boring designs? Why, why, why? I’m sure there’s some bottom-dollar reason for it, and perhaps I’m part of a small percentage of the population that actually cares, but I {Read More}
