I don’t know what’s been changing in me, but we are slowly moving toward a Homesteading, Handmade type of family.  We’ve been busy making bread and laundry soaps from scratch and we thought, why not our tree? We (mostly I) made ornaments from old dictionary pages and sheet music.  The younglings were in for about 10 minutes and bailed on me!   I finger knit some garland using three strands of yarn, one being the fun ‘tinsel yarn’!  How perfect... Read more

One of my most popular posts is about my Cabinet Door Makeover.  I’ve made a few more signs using a new medium.   This is my hallway downstairs.  A wall of doors!  Well I found this little beauty.  Y’all remember these?  I wish I would have taken a before picture in it’s true glory.  It had zigzag sides that I cut off, but I can imagine it hanging proudly for years in the Shirley’s house.  I snatched it up for mere... Read more

Vegas is NOT known for it’s large backyards.  Let’s face it, if you don’t have a pool, then you really don’t want to hang out in the desert heat of the summer.  Our backyard has evolved since the 3 years we moved in.  Let’s start with the bare bones beginning. Don’t be hatin’ on my humongo yard!  This was right after we moved in. We added some grass.  Being a displaced Kentucky girl, I had to have some bluegrass for... Read more

The Hunk and I lived briefly in a house just outside of Nashville, TN, our college stomping grounds.  The previous owner left some old shutters in the garage and I LOVED them!  Here’s a pic of them in our TN home. I moved them to our Vegas casa and have tried them on many walls, in many formats. Staggered…   Separated, but not as whimsically placed.   When I started hanging my window sign I made, I new I wanted... Read more
