The Story of Huge Birdhouses!

My yard and gardens are always changing, even if I don't want them to because of Mother Nature.


This year we changed up some of the hardscaping...

As in BIRDHOUSES!

Let's go back a bit...

little 

French styled dresser!

I Tried & FAILED...Sort Of!

Remember when I showed you how to use a Sharpie to decorate ceramic, then bake to set it? You can see the details of that post HERE. I made this winter banner out of a plate with this method...

 And a couple of more plates that I display in my home...

Map + Deer = Wall Art

My brain is in creative mode most all the time. And I wanted to make something unusual for my grown son, who lives in Kansas and is a hunter.

Gifts from the Heart!

I am back from a little vacation to see my son and his family...

A good friend of mine had a birthday and I wanted to do something special for her. We like most of the same things...antiques, flea markets, specialty stores, trash to treasures, thrift stores, garage sales, etc.

Our Study / Multi Purpose Room!

Our study has changed over and over in the 11 years that we have lived here. According to the building plans, this is really the formal dining room. Though I think formal dining rooms are pretty, if you are like me, with a very small family, that can be a waste of square footage in your home.

French China Hutch!

Be

To

Drool!

But, it seems when one has something on their mind, these things tend to find a solution.

Changes & Opportunity for U!

This guest bedroom has been one of my all time popular posts, but with all things in my life, change is happening because of this...

I fell in love with this Hobby Lobby fabric and since I have been sewing for over 45 years, when I get a whim to do something different, nothing usually stops me.

Tilt Top Tray!

 I found this vintage tray last year at a garage sale. It was dirty, pink and ugly, so I bought it! Why? Because it's magical!

Who Are They?

After seeing this photo

"Who Are They?"
