Things were going wonderful on our entryway makeover. My husband had brought home a trailer full of pallets. He cut them all apart, and got 2 walls in the entryway done. He made me a built in cabinet to store paint that I use frequently, and I was loving it. It was the pallet wood entryway of my dreams…
Never Say Never
October 7, 2015 by 28 Comments
Early last week, my oldest son came down with a cold. He and my youngest son seem to be magnets for every cold that goes around, but I can’t remember the last time I got sick. I even bragged a bit to my mom that I never get sick. Well, I’m eating my words now, because within 24 hours, I was sick too. Within the next couple of days, my son was better, but I was sneezing and coughing up {Read More}

Quick and Easy Dinner Idea for Hectic Days!
October 6, 2015 by 15 Comments
It’s been a bit of a hectic week with my dad in the hospital. He was moved to the rehab floor where he’ll be for 7-10 days. My mom goes to the hospital twice a day, and I go with her once each day, so I haven’t had a lot of time to work on projects or write blog posts, but I try to work on things in small chunks of time when I can. My family has eaten a lot of {Read More}
Flannel Lavender Heat Pack with Washable Cover
October 4, 2015 by 16 Comments
Not wanting my mom to get bored during her visit, and being the sweet daughter that I am, I lined up a few projects for her to work on while she’s here. 🙂 My feet are always cold, so one of the projects I had in mind for her was to sew up a microwaveable lavender heat pack. I’ve been using an old pillow case filled with rice as a makeshift heat pack, and not only was it ugly, it {Read More}
Farmhouse Friday – Repurposed Doors and Windows
October 2, 2015 by 18 Comments
Thanks so much to all of your for your prayers and sweet comments about my father’s fall and fractured hip. His surgery went well, and he should be moving into the rehab unit at the hospital in the next day or so. In addition to getting back to walking, our big concern is that he’ll be able to comfortably sit in a car when it’s time to return home. My parents drove here, so our tentative plan is that I’ll drive them {Read More}
Halloween Sheet Music

Sometimes life throws you a curveball, and this was a curveball kind of week. As I mentioned recently, my parents are here for a two-week visit, but they left for a few days to visit other extended family. When they returned back to my house last night, my dad tripped over one of our dogs and fell on the concrete right outside my door. I called for an ambulance and he was taken to the ER.
Using Natural Elements and Vintage Decor in Autumn Decorating
September 30, 2015 by 18 Comments
I can hardly believe it’s October already, but the calendar doesn’t lie, so it must be true. I’m afraid to blink, or it will be Christmas! As much as I love the cheery red decor in my kitchen, it looked very summery, and I waited a little too long to bring it in. It’ll be perfect again when it’s closer to Christmas, but in the meantime, I wanted some autumn decor in the kitchen. I don’t have room to store boxes {Read More}

Make Your Own Tiered Stand Tutorial
September 28, 2015 by 20 Comments
Over the last several years, I’ve received lots of questions about the tiered stands my husband and I make, so I finally got around to photographing the steps for it so I could write up a tutorial, and show you how to make your own! I’ve seen these made different ways, usually using glue to hold the pieces together, but glue isn’t always the sturdiest thing, so we came up with what we think is a better method.
