Welcome back to Knick of Time Tuesday Today, I’ve invited Susan from Homeroad to to be my guest “picker”. On her blog, Susan picks awesome old things, and turns them into amazing new things, like these old tools that she turned into a wall display, and these rulers she turned into hanging chalkboards.  Be sure to pay her a visit to see all her amazing repurposed creations! Let’s look at the features she choose from last week’s party! I love {Read More}

Julia @ Vintage With Laces invited me to participate in a blog tour, where you get a peek inside the life of a blogger, to find out more about their creative process, and a little more about their life, so today you’ll learn some things about me you may not have known (or wanted to know), you’ll hear how I attack new projects, and you’ll see the ugliest room in my house! I’ve admired Julia’s work for so long.  She turns bits {Read More}

Welcome back to Knick of Time Tuesday I hope your week is off to a great start, and you have some wonderful, vintaged-inspired things to share this week!  Sorry the party is a little late getting started, but I lost track of time while looking at all the links from last week – there were some great ones!

Here’s a pretty bee image, as well as the definition with the bee image.  They are from an antique dictionary.  The background has been removed from the bee, so it can be used digitally to layer over other images. The bee image is already at full size below, but the full size of the definition image is available here.   Have you used one of my antique images on a project you created,?  If so, please share!  My new feature {Read More}

I didn’t miss cooking. I didn’t miss cleaning, and taking a break from writing blog posts did me good. But, the one thing I did miss while on vacation, was creating new projects. Making things just makes me happy, so going a week and a half without making something was a stretch for me.  I did start working on a crochet project (which may or may not ever get finished, because I didn’t use a pattern and it’s turning out {Read More}

At this moment, I’m with my husband, 4 kids and 2 dogs, driving part way across the country.  My rear end and back are rebelling against sitting in a car seat for so long, and I’m already suffering from crafting withdrawal, but I keep reminding myself that it will be worth it once we arrive.  We’re going to visit grandmas, grandpas, aunts, uncles & cousins.  In other words, we are taking a much-needed break, surrounded by people we love.   {Read More}
