So the other day I was in my local Goodwill (Yes…. The one that sells rocks…) and I came across this. It clearly had a lid at some point in its life, but the lid was missing and there was a chip on the top of it.Oh. And it was pink. Who has ever heard […]
The Blue Twig Chandelier. (who knew?)
This is the project I did for last week’s One Month To Win It challenge. It gave me so many problems that I almost included a “rest in peace” wreath when I sent it off to the judges. Shockingly, this project won for the week. (In spite of my son telling me it looked like […]
Turning the dog’s chew toy into a chair. A Mod Podge make-over.
This was my project for Round 2 of One Month To Win It’s craft competition. Now that the voting is over I can share it with you. The challenge was to do something that involved Mod Podge. Mod Podge and I go way back, but we have a sort of volatile relationship. (There have been […]
Rust Converter: Outta the auto shop and into the craft store.
Spring has (mostly) sprung and I am beginning to turn my attention to my patio area. Not. Good. I have some tall hurricane lanterns that have been sitting out in the elements (if Southern California really even has elements) for 2 or 3 years, and although we had sprayed a clear sealant over them, the […]

The tribe has spoken: I’m still on the island.
I’m happy to say that I made it through the first round of the One Month To Win It contest! My wine cork artwork*** received enough votes to keep me in the competition another week, so thank you to anyone who voted for it. Here’s a quick summary of how this works: The 4-week competition […]
No-sew curtain panels.
Let me say this out of the gate: I can sew, I just usually choose not to. (OK, I almost ALWAYS choose not to.) I sew with a glue gun. (Don’t you judge me.) I don’t usually buy pre-made curtain panels. I found a great discount fabric store where I can get gorgeous fabrics anywhere […]
Personalized Dishes – How to bring a casserole to a potluck… and not lose your pyrex.
I love to cook. I’m happy to bring something (or a couple of somethings) to a potluck. I am not happy when I don’t get my Pyrex back again… There is no such thing as Dish Karma. If you lose one, another doesn’t show up as a random act of dish replacement. The Land of […]
Distressed Spring Artwork Tutorial.
The day the LORD created HOPE was probably the same day He created SPRING. I love that! Let’s make some artwork based on it! Grab a piece of wood. In this case, I used 1′ x 2′ scrap of 1/4″ plywood. Grab a paintbrush and some good white primer. ( I like Kilz.) Put 2 […]
