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…

it is well with my soul sign stencil
June 19, 2015 by 4 Comments
Happy weekend everyone! I have a new sign stencil to introduce in my line that I hope you’ll love. One of my most popular free images is the It is Well with My Soul photograph (download HERE), so I wanted to make an inspirational sign stencil with the same title. I used the stencil on this pallet wood coat hook, and love how it turned out, so I want to show you how super easy it is to make one of {Read More}
Tabletop Industrial Cart
June 12, 2015 by 15 Comments
One thing often leads to another, but in my case, it can lead to another, and another, and another. Do you remember the little clementine box that I turned into a vintage style crate? Recently I added some vintage style signage to it, and I loved it even more. Well, I set that little crate on my kitchen shelf, and as I looked at it, it made me think of something I would really, really, really love to have… an old industrial cart. I {Read More}
DIY Framed Vintage Seed Bag
April 19, 2015 by 9 Comments
Do you remember that big blank space I had over my antique kitchen stove… that space I filled with a rustic framed chalkboard? Well, I did it again – I sold the chalkboard and ended up with a big blank space once again. It wasn’t any big deal though, and I planned to make another one of those chalkboards, but then I found this old feed bag that I’ve had for several years. Instead of making a frame for a chalkboard, I {Read More}
Seed Store Vintage Sign Stencil
April 17, 2015 by 5 Comments
The next vintage sign stencil in my new line is based on an early 1900’s seed store advertisement that has really charming lettering. I absolutely love this one, and could use it over and over (and did)! This stencil includes 2 sizes of the design. The larger size measures about 16″ x 4-1/2″ and the smaller size measures about 8-7/8″ x 2-1/2″. Both options are on 1 stencil, so you can select the size you need for your project. This stencil is available in {Read More}
Introducing Knick of Time Vintage Sign Stencils!
April 15, 2015 by 38 Comments
Today is such an exciting day for me – it’s like a little dream come true. Several years ago, I was busy creating signs on a bunch of old windows I had been given, and I mentioned that “someday” I’d love to develop my own line of vintage sign stencils. Dreaming about something is all well and good, but there comes a point when you need to stop dreaming and just do it. After all, dreams rarely come true without {Read More}
antique sewing machine table, plus things I love
March 20, 2015 by 39 Comments
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again … I’m no seamstress. I spend more time yelling at my sewing machine than actually sewing, because every time I use it it’s like making a date with my seam ripper. A really bad date. I’m just sewing machine jinxed. I only sew if I can’t talk my mom into traveling 1,000+ miles to visit and sew for me, and if I can’t I’ve been know to give her fabric with instructions when I {Read More}
Pallet Wood Bathtub Table
March 9, 2015 by 9 Comments
I’m a die-hard bathtub soaker, and always have been. If I had to guess, I’d say that at least 75% of my blog posts have been written while soaking in my bathtub. It’s the one place in the house where I don’t get distracted by people, the tv, or the phone, so I can concentrate, and relax at the same time. A bathtub table is a must for me, and I’ve had several of them over the years. Both were made my {Read More}
Pretty Kitties, a Crate Disguise, and a $100 Visa Card Giveaway

Our two cats have a knack for photo bombing when I’m taking pictures for the blog or my Etsy shop. Last week, I was working on a project, and I turned around to grab my camera off the counter behind me. By the time I turned back around, there was already a cat making herself comfy right next to my project. They do this constantly! While I officially introduce them to you today, I’m also going to talk about another kind of bombing {Read More}
