An insane amount of creative ideas
Have you started thinking about Halloween, yet? It has become a tradition for our family to dress as a group each year. My kids actually LOVE this tradition and through out the year can often be heard suggesting and “casting” a favorite theme. We know what we are doing this year, but the how isn’t [...]
I am so excited to be able to show you the office chair we made-over! Not just because I think it is so fresh and fun, but because it means it is finally finished! This is a makeover that honestly was begun about a year ago when my parents were visiting. A number of delays, [...]
Last week, I showed you the sweet surprise anniversary party I helped to throw. The highlight of the decorations was the crepe paper streamers that I ruffled in various combos and laid across the white linens. I’m pretty in love with ruffled streamers. This isn’t the first time I’ve used them. They made up [...]
I’m excited my sister, Trina, decided to share another fun Christmas project with you! This one involves a little bit of sewing, *gasp*, but it’s simple enough, I could probably do it! Here’s what she said: I made several of these felt and flannel Ho Ho Ho banners last year to give away, made with [...]
There is just one day left to prepare an advent calendar, if you don’t want to miss any of the days in Decemeber. And from the hits on my blog I know many of you are searching for advent ideas. I have a few great ones for you today! You may want to check out [...]
We are in full birthday-party, church Easter party with no budget, and family Easter dinner preparation mode around here. (Yes, I’m about to lose whatever sanity that might have remained).

I have one more 4th of July project that I really wanted to get finished and blog for you, but I’m afraid, it is time for me to walk away from the computer and get packing for my family reunion! (That project will have to wait until next year, sadly.) But before I do, my [...]
I know. I’ve been sewing again! What is the world coming to? We have a family reunion over the 4th of July weekend. Each branch of the family is assigned a specific color and our family is blue. We deliberated about whether to go family or patriotic, and decided to do both. The H is [...]
This was supposed to be a post showing you a fabulously finished patriotic tablecloth. Instead, I am posting about exactly 1 half of a fabulous patriotic tablecloth. My sewing machine and I have some issues–mainly I’m mechanically challenged and little things like changing thread and bobbins slow me down. I’m sure (once my husband gets [...]
I am reposting this to submit to the CSI projects for the week. Come back soon (tonight?) for my recap of the Tour de Thrift this weekend! I stumbled on a blog that was suggesting that we could make our own canvas wall-hangings for much cheaper than the ones they sell at places like Pottery [...]
