Happy Tuesday everyone! I’ve been battling a cold for several days which has kicked my productivity to the curb. I can’t wait to get over this dumb cold so I can sleep and breath better … and most of all to get back to making things.

In January, I shared a Repurposed Window Stocking Hanger that I wasn’t able to share in December due to the stroke. I also shared {Read More}

In this post: Deck the Halls with Handmade Christmas Signs! I’ve been a busy little bee the last week. I only have a few days until my mom arrives. My oldest and middle sons will arrive with their wives and dogs a few days after that. That means we’ll have six indoor dogs at our house on Christmas day! I’ll be so happy to see Pico again.
