Now that Christmas is over, I can show you some things I made as presents and gave away this year. I'm not a fan of surprises but people I love are, so I have been withholding showing these presents. I am excited to start with a walk through on this ruffled fabric bag! Do sewing patterns scare you? They scare me! I have used sewing patterns twice with my mother-in-law's assistance, and I'm still intimidated. I think there is something with how they have to be precise and accurate Continue Reading
Furniture with a Story
Have you ever taken an old piece of furniture (with a story) and given it new life to make it beautiful again? It's one of my favorite kind of projects to do.

We cut six pieces each about 30" long. Note: My husband helped me with this project as he does with a lot of projects I dream up. Continue Reading
DIY Feather Wreath
I am so excited to share today's Project Spotlight with you! A few weeks ago, I fell in love with a white feather wreath at Target. I stood there staring at it, trying to decide if I should buy it.

That is less than 1/4 the price at Target, and it really was so easy! Here is what you will Continue Reading
