I hate to admit it, but the photos you see of my home are not the reality. I spend days cleaning up and primping to shoot room reveal photos, and those cleaned up spaces very quickly revert back to their normal, incredibly messy state in less time than it took me to clean them up, so I’ve been cracking the whip, making the whole family help me clean up our messes. When I was cleaning in the kitchen last week, I {Read More}

Although the images were beautiful, I’ve always wished that I hadn’t used them, and just put the regular text pages there instead. They just look a bit out of place in my living room. I still have a few pages left from that Bible, {Read More}

When my parents came to visit last month, my mom handed me a garbage bag full of bed springs. I was almost out of springs that came out of the cushions from my grain sack wicker couch, and these were a different shape, so I’m happy to have a new stock of the to work with now. Before I put them in my workshop, the place where things go to be forgotten for 6 months, I thought I’d whip up {Read More}

This set of beautiful bird prints both came from a 1920’s bird book, and show birds resting on evergreen branches. They are perfect for framed art, and would make lovely greeting cards as well.

October 29, 2014 by 13 Comments

I was digging through my stash in my workshop, and came across a book about birds, with a pretty cover, patterned with bird feathers. I’m not even sure where I got it, but I remembered that I had a bird wall hook in my stash too, and they seemed to belong together.
