Salvaging a Failed Project
August 3, 2015 by 30 Comments
I’m never happy when I botch up a project, but generally my projects are made with salvaged pieces that cost little to no money, so it’s not that big of a deal. When I botch up a project that I actually spend money on – that drives me nuts. I don’t usually share my failed projects, but today I’m going to, because I’m also going to show you how I saved it from getting thrown in the trash. I bought {Read More}
Old Tools Wall Hooks

I’ve only been to a handful of yard sales this year, but I hit a gold mine at the very first one I went to in the spring It was my idea of a gold mine anyway! There was a whole table full of old tools and I bought every one of them – and a tool box as well. The more worn out a tool is, the more likely I am to get it cheap, and the less likely {Read More}
Printable Summer Time Birds Image

It’s been awhile since I shared a free birds image printable, and this one rounds out the collection of bird images for each season. It’s from the same 1920’s book as the previous bird images, and shows a male and female Rose-coloured Pastor (part of the starling family of birds) sitting on a branch with berries. It has a lovely aged color tone. {CLICK ON IMAGE TO SAVE AND PRINT FULL-SIZE} All 4 seasonal bird images would look so pretty grouped together {Read More}
Keeping Time – a Repurposed Chair and Horse Business

Normally today would be Farmhouse Friday, but I went to lunch and ran errands with my daughter and didn’t get it finished, so I thought I’d talk about something else… So did I mention our pasture flooded a few weeks ago? If I did I forgot, so I’m assuming you did too. Anyhow, the water was so strong, it carried grass and branch debris over the fence wires, which was so heavy it broke the fence. What does that have to {Read More}
Mrs. Claus Makes a Comeback!
July 30, 2015 by 4 Comments
I’m squeaking in at the last minute, but what’s July without at least one Christmas in July post, right? 🙂 Last year, I decided that Mrs. Claus deserved a moment in the spotlight, since her hubby normally gets all the attention. I made a sign in her honor and it was so well-liked that she now has her own Christmas stencil design as well. Mrs. Claus stencil available to purchase HERE.
Work and Play

Today I just couldn’t focus. I had one project on my kitchen table, and another project on my kitchen counter, and parts of projects scattered on the floor and my desk, but at least one step of every project was giving me grief, and I was getting cranky. Normally I love working on my projects, but today it all just felt like work.

If you follow me on Instagram or Facebook, you know that my husband and I went with our 4 kids to do some canoeing and kayaking over the weekend. It’s becoming our tradition to do this each summer, and I look forward to it every year. We usually do it on a Saturday, but my my oldest son’s work schedule conflicted with that, so we did it on Sunday this time, and that’s the only day I want to do {Read More}
