I wanted a simple farmhouse Christmas tree with lots of handmade ornaments this year.Our Christmas tree is far from magazine perfect, but when I finished decorating it and my oldest son saw it, he commented about how nice he thought it looked. If it meets with my family’s approval, that’s really all that matters.

December 17, 2015 by 17 Comments
Do you remember that beautiful red barn I photographed in the summer (seen here)? Well, I had 2 big empty spots on my living room wall when I sold the repurposed drawer shelves (seen here) so I made 2 canvas photos to fill the empty spaces. I took the barn photo, and our current family photo to Staples, where they turned them into engineering prints for me. When I got back home, I turned the engineering prints into photo canvases (tutorial here) and hung {Read More}

I never got around to doing a Black Friday or Cyber Monday sale, but I’m gearing up to do a major house cleaning and purge once Christmas is over, so I’m having a Christmas sale to clear my shelves of things listed in my shop, so I’ll be ready to dig in the moment the Christmas decorations are put away.

December 10, 2015 by 7 Comments
I don’t know what it is about gingham, but it has an old-fashioned charm that I can’t get enough of. It reminds me of curtains hanging in an old farmhouse and vintage aprons. I bought an evergreen garland for my entryway, and had a lot left over, so I wired a leftover piece around a grapevine wreath to hang in my kitchen. I used this gingham wired ribbon to make a bow for the wreath. It’s easy to work with, and holds its shape {Read More}

When Santa Claus, gets home from his long night’s ride around the world, he was lacking a place to hang his coat and hat.
