It looks like I’m having a Harvest Party, but I’m not… and it’s all because of some root beer bottles. A few weeks ago, my daughter had a few friends over for a movie night. My husband and I had been out of town for a few days, and when we came home, the table was filled with junk food and there was a counter full of empty glass soda bottles. She knows I love bottles, so they didn’t throw {Read More}
Antique Graphics Wednesday – {Rulers and Tape Measures}
September 11, 2013 by 5 Comments
Do you love old rulers and tape measures? I do! I’ve been stockpiling yardsticks and have a bunch of them, but still haven’t decided what I’m going to do with them. I’ve hung a few in my house that are favorites, but I really need to come up with a project to use them. I’ve been trying to learn more about digital “crafting”, so I thought these old rulers and tape measures would be fun to use in some digital {Read More}

Chalkboards, Tiered Stands & Signs
September 9, 2013 by 8 Comments
We’re having another heatwave here in Illinois, and had just enough moisture to make it really humid. I’ve been keeping busy, little by little working on my way through random things in my workshop that have long been waiting for their turn to get a makeover – like this wooden tray turned chalkboard tray. These parts from an antique sewing machine stand become little chalkboards. My husband helped me put together a few more tiered stands. This one is made {Read More}

I know many of you are small shop owners, as I am, but don’t have a large budget to spend on advertising products for your business. I wanted to get some postcards and business cards made to tuck into my packaging, but didn’t want spend a fortune on them. First, I’ll show you how I designed mine, then I’ll tell you how I got them really cheap! I designed my image using Pikmonkey. I created a “template” first, so {Read More}
Guest House Renovation…{My Dream Room}
September 6, 2013 by 19 Comments
We’re in the middle of several projects right now, including fixing up our 1980’s RV, which probably won’t get done until next year. Most days, it’s too hot for my husband to work inside it, so I came up with a new project for him – wasn’t that sweet of me? Fortunately, he didn’t seem to mind my idea much, once I explained my “vision”. When we moved into our house about a year and a half ago, I was {Read More}
Milk and Cream and Beady Little Eyes
September 5, 2013 by 7 Comments
A few days ago, I was outside photographing another Milk & Cream Co. sign when my daughter came rushing up to me saying, “Hurry, take their photo before he flies away!” It constantly amuses me that this girl has always loved snakes, praying mantises, and even huge hissing bugs (and I have no idea what they were), yet she’s always been terrified of spiders – even daddy long-legs. Her nickname has always been Miss Muffet for that reason. I see {Read More}
