For months, every day I would wake up and say to myself: “Today’s the day! Today’s the day I am going to clean up the black hole of crap that is next to my computer!” Every night I would go to bed and think, “…tomorrow… I’ll do it tomorrow…” The problem is that it isn’t […]
Pink cabbage is just plain wrong.
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.

On Monday I showed you this picture of a bunch of random items: This is what I made: Here’s another look: Here’s how I did it: I got this funky footed bowl with a lid at my local Goodwill. I really like the bowl, but wasn’t too wild about the lid. I think it […]
So simple, it’s stupid… Dollar Tree make-over.
These little resin birds (and other hideous little figurines) are available in every Dollar Tree, 99 Cent store, etc in the country. Despite the fact that this little birdie was manufactured with gorilla toes, I brought him home and introduced him to my good friend Rustoleum Heirloom White. (Then I sprayed him with a coat […]
