Last week I had a new project idea that I was all excited to work on. I picked up the supplies I needed when I was in town, and was ready to work on it first thing in the morning. I thought I was good to go. Normally when I have a project that requires a photocopy, I use my laser printer, because the ink doesn’t smudge. But this project required a copy from an inkjet printer, and it wasn’t until I went to work {Read More}
Farmhouse Friday #13 – Grain Sacks, Feed Bags and Burlap Bags
July 2, 2015 by 13 Comments
Happy Farmhouse Friday, everyone! If you aren’t already crazy about old grain sacks, feed bags, and burlap sacks, will you be after today, because that’s our theme this week! (This post contains affiliate links). I’d be willing to bet the farmers of yesteryear never would have dreamed that we’d turn their work-worn sacks into beautiful things, and copy the look of them as well. Do you think this love of grain sacks as modern decor is a trend that’s here to {Read More}

I can’t believe it’s already July, and I still haven’t gone to a flea market even once yet. I really need to remedy that soon. I know they say you won’t miss what you don’t see, but just thinking about all the good pickins’ I might be missing makes me crazy! One of the things I keep a lookout for is old feed sacks and grain sacks, but I’ve only found a few of them in the last few years.

Barn Door Bedroom Hooks

I rarely check Craigs List, but I got lucky one of the few times I did check it last year. I’m not sure if this was a small barn door, or a heavy barn gate, but I was so glad it was still available when I called about it. There were actually several to choose from, so I bought this one, plus another one that I used as a headboard in our shed-turned-guestroom. I thought I might use this one as a {Read More}

If you aren’t a blogger, then you may not be familiar with Google Analytics, but basically it’s a resource from Google that allows you to see the stats on your blog or website, and I’m a bit of an analytics nerd. I like watching in real time, the stats for Knick of Time, which includes not only how many visitors are on my blog at any time, but also where they are from. A dot shows up on a world map showing {Read More}

Can we pretend that today is Saturday and tomorrow will be Friday? You can do that for me, right? Oh good…because as hard as I tried to finish Farmhouse Friday for today, I just couldn’t get it all finished in time. Believe me, it’ll be just as good tomorrow as it would have been today, and I’m telling you, it’s turning out amazing! The theme is farmhouse lights, and you really don’t want to miss it, so come back and {Read More}
A Little More Grace
June 25, 2015 by 20 Comments
There are goof ups, and then there are GOOF UPS, and I made the capital, bold face letter kind! Remember a few weeks ago, when I shared my new Amazing Grace stencil design? It included the words from Chris Rice’s version of the well-known hymn. Well… Ann @ Duct Tape and Denim purchased the stencil, and she made a sign with it. When her husband (who is a music minister) saw the sign, he said, “That’s nice, but that phrase is {Read More}
Old Milk Bottle Shape Stencils
June 24, 2015 by 4 Comments
In addition to working on several new stencil designs, I’ve also been designing some inexpensive “add-ons”. Add-ons are smaller stencils that will coordinate with the larger stencils in my line, but can be used by themselves also. The first set of add-on designs are a 2-pack of old milk bottle shape stencils that coordinate with the Milk and Cream Co. design. The first one is an outline of an old milk bottle. Here’s how it looks paired with the Milk and Cream Co. stencil. The second one {Read More}
