Bunting Night Two
Tonight I sewed all the triangles for the bunting and turned them right side out. The fabric is pretty subdued so I’m thinking I might dye it a few different colors.
Bunting!
We’ve got a party coming up this weekend and I’m making bunting to decorate the patio. My stepmom gave me a big bolt of fabric left over from a 20 year old decorating project, so I decided to use that for the bunting. Step…
Summer, Maybe?
I threw a wish in the well, don’t ask me I’ll never tell. . . well, ok, I wished for summer! Here’s my chalkboard porch sign in honor of the start of summer – or as we know it around these parts, Junuary (alternately,…
I Think I Might Be Sewing This Coverlet Forever
I worked more on the new coverlet today – I’ve got half of the ruffles sewn on (6 on, 6 to go) but it really takes freakin’ forever. I haven’t be working on it steadily because it’s very boring but I’ll be so glad…
Easter Eggs in the Trees
We finished part two of our garden Easter decorating today. We took plastic Easter eggs, strung heavy-duty thread through them using a sewing needle and hung them from our front-yard oak tree. The smaller solid colored eggs were super easy to string because each…

Little Bit of This and a Little Bit of That
I worked on a lot of stuff today but don’t have much completed to show for it. The temperature finally crept above 50 degrees here (well, okay, it was right AT 50) so I got some more paint on the headboard. It still needs…
Bedroom Gallery Wall – Framing the Irregular Sizes
After I framed all the photos I wanted to use that were standard sizes, I was left with photos (mostly old) that were not standard sizes. Tonight I got to work framing those for our bedroom gallery wall.
Magazine Solution
I had a brainstorm today for our bedroom redo (still underway! Before and after pictures yet to come!). I propped the side rail of my daughter’s old (recalled) crib up against the wall to use for magazine and blanket storage. This picture doesn’t really…
Adding Wall Art to the Master Bedroom
We finished painting our bedroom yesterday, and we’re starting to “dress it up” by adding in the different components of the redesign. The first new items to go in are a trio of maps over the bed that reflect where I’m from, where my…
