I’ve been as busy as an elf in Santa’s workshop, getting ready for my 1st (and possibly annual, if it goes well) 12 Days of Christmas event, and it’s finally here! Thanks for joining me! My goal was to create projects that aren’t difficult, and don’t require too many supplies, and today’s project fits that bill, so let’s jump right in! If there’s one thing that there is a lot of during the holidays, it’s sweets, and I wanted to come up with {Read More}

Vintage Decor Inspiration Party – Knick of Time Tuesday #145
July 14, 2014 by 15 Comments
Welcome back to Knick of Time Tuesday I have got some fabulous features for you today! Before we get started, I thought I’d share a glimpse into the crazy busy, but totally fun time I had last week. Monday through Friday, I taught a “Junk Art” class for VBS. I was surprised how much my students absolutely loved it. Before the week was over, they already wanted to know if I’d be teaching it again next year. Future junkers – {Read More}
Typewriter Stand Gets an Industrial Rustic Makeover – Before and After
July 3, 2014 by 20 Comments
I brought this old typewriter stand from a yard sale last year. When I asked the price, the gal said I could have it – gotta love a freebie! I’ll admit, it wasn’t much to look at, but if you ignore the warped pressed board top that someone added to it, the base was pretty cool. It’s been sitting around, awaiting its turn for a makeover, and the beautiful weather we’ve been having inspired me to work outdoors, and start {Read More}

Book Page Canvas Wall Art
March 21, 2014 by 8 Comments
This week I’ve been focusing on expanding my “line”of book page canvas wall art signs. It’s a stretch to call it a “line”, as I have two styles available right now, but I will be adding more next week, and plan to create additional styles, and may offer some printable versions as well. My newest one is this Amazing Grace canvas sign. I used pages from a very old Bible, which are extremely fragile to work with, but their color {Read More}
Repurposed Milk Crate Padded Storage Stool
March 7, 2014 by 10 Comments
Repurposed Milk Crate Padded Storage Stool I’ve always loved old metal milk crates, because they make useful storage containers that look great, so I brought another one home a few weeks ago from an auction. This one had been well-used and is super rusty and some of the metal slats on the bottom were broke, so I thought it needed some attention to make it look special again. Of course, the perfect thing to use on it was the Milk {Read More}

Beeswax Candles
August 28, 2013 by 7 Comments
I’ve been wanting to make some beeswax candles for quite some time, but didn’t want to pay shipping prices to get a few blocks of the wax sent to me, since we have a well-known beekeeping business about an hour away. A few months ago, I was finally near the business, so I bought a few 1-lb. blocks of pure beeswax. I used a knife to grate large shreds off the block. I didn’t use a thermometer to heat the {Read More}
Decor Steals Typography Bamboo Floor Mat Knock-Off
August 19, 2013 by 27 Comments
Decor Steals Knock-Off : Typography Bamboo Floor Mat The Typography Bamboo Floor Mat sold by Decor Steals is wildly popular, and though they recently offered it for a great price of $119.50, that still isn’t affordable for everyone, so I decided to try creating my own version for less money. I ordered a bamboo floor mat runner, sized 24″ x 72″ on Amazon and paid $27.99 (including shipping fees). Here’s my version. I selected fonts and created a vinyl stencil {Read More}
