It’s strawberry season here….. almost. Oh, they’re in the stores, but they are not perfectly delish and totally sweet. Yet. If you buy them from the farm stand, you’re good to go, but from the store in the clam shell…? A little on the tart side. Here’s what I do to fix them: slice strawberries […]
The Easter Claus…. Or Santa Bunny… (Either way, it’s all kinds of wrong.)

Turning the dog’s chew toy into a chair. A Mod Podge make-over.
