Today, I’m sharing a Back to School Inspired Roundup of some of my favorite projects, graphics, and decor. Based on the number of them, you may think I loved school and was a good student, but alas, I wasn’t. I spent most of my days behind the desk, staring out the window, waiting for the recess bell to ring. Nonetheless, I love school-inspired projects and think they make great home decor. I’ve included lots of free printables, fun projects, and {Read More}
Making a Union Jack Sign…{the hard way}
August 9, 2014 by Leave a Comment
There’s the easy way to make a Union Jack sign…and then there’s my way. If any of you plan to make one of your own, I just thought I would show you the way not to do it, and save you the trouble.
Antique Flash Card Printables
July 16, 2014 by 28 Comments
Today I have some free printables that I think you’ll really enjoy! One thing I’ve never been able to find at any antique store, auction, yard sale or thrift store, is a set of antique flash cards. I’ve looked at many sets online, but they are hot items and the prices are high – even for just a few cards. Rather than continue to wish I had some, I decided I would make my own “antique” cards, and am sharing {Read More}
Repurposed Soda Bottle Flower Vases
July 7, 2014 by 6 Comments
I’ve had a stash of pretty soda bottles sitting on a shelf in my pantry, ever since we built my pantry. They looked cute sitting on the shelves, but really…who ever pays attention to what the shelves in my pantry have one them, other than food – except maybe me? I decided it was time to let some of them see the light of day, and turn them into something useful – like flower vases, because that gives me a {Read More}
New Tiered Stands and What I Did {and did not} Do in Chicago
June 28, 2014 by 9 Comments
Yesterday, I went with two of my sons, for a whirlwind drive up to Chicago. The older son sells specialty cheese at a Farmer’s Market in our town, and he needed to pick up hundreds of pounds of cheese in Chicago. Between worrying about deer on the roads through the rural areas, and crazy drivers in Chicago, I didn’t want him to make the drive alone, so I packed up my computer and camera, thinking I’d get some work done {Read More}

It’s been a busy, fun and crowded, 2-1/2 weeks at my house, while my mom, nephew, and niece were here visiting, and I’m sad it’s come to a close. They are boarding the train to return home shortly, and my house will seem too quiet for the next few days. I’m already looking forward to September, when my mom and dad will return for another visit. I haven’t worked on many projects while my mom was here, but a customer {Read More}
How to Accent Details with Antiquing Powder
June 23, 2014 by 8 Comments
Last year, I picked up this antique mirror at a yard sale. I was crazy about the details on the wood frame, and the hazing on the mirror. For a while, it was hung above my piano (which has been since been turned into a desk), but I was never crazy about the brassy gold spray paint some previous owner used on it. Kelsey, at Blue Minerals, sent me some Antiquing Powder to try out, and this frame was the perfect {Read More}
Antique Style Wooden Crate Wall Organizer from Pallet Wood

Antique Style Wooden Crate Wall Organizer from Pallet Wood My project today started out to be something totally different, but I failed, and this was my attempt at salvaging something of my failed project. I wanted an antique fruit shipping crate, complete with a beautiful label on it, but I didn’t want to pay antique store prices for it. I had several weathered pallets, so I figured it would be easy to build my own antique style crate, right? Well, {Read More}

Antique Graphics Shrinky Dinks Jewelry & Magnets
April 3, 2014 by 19 Comments
There are days when painting something sounds like work because of all the clean-up involved, and days when the sewing machine and I are at odds with each other, and days when getting my hands filthy from handling rusty stuff, just sounds gross. On days like that, projects that require nothing more than my scissors, printer and oven, sound perfect. I was sorting through some supplies, and saw a package of Shrinky Dinks that I bought months ago, and playing {Read More}
