DIY sewing scissors case & hemming linen towels
As I shared in Monday’s post, I’m taking the time to work through small projects as I come across specific materials I purchased with the intention of making them. I think that’s one of the problems with being someone who likes projects – we’re always collecting materials, tools, and supplies for the next project. Or […]
how to make a rice & lavender hot/cold pack
A part of cleaning, organizing, and purging is dealing with materials that were purchased with intention. I buy them because I intend to do something with them. When I was cleaning out my cleaning supplies, I found the materials for two projects that have been languishing in a closet for too long. Some of the […]
Rufus Porter Style Mural & My First Paintings
A part of organizing this month has been scanning old documents and photos (I’ll share more on that in another post) and uploading old photos that were saved to a disc to an external hard drive. At first, I didn’t even know if I had a way to scan a disc onto the drive! I […]
creative play | sketchbook tour

I’m not a financial expert by any means, but we have completely transformed the way we spend, save, and view debt over the past 10 years and I thought […]

Montauk Blue Slate Tile Floors | Two Years Later
There are some projects that are completed, shared here on the blog, and then I don’t get asked about them again. Then, there are others that surface over and over. The Montauk blue slate tile floors were installed in our foyer are one of those projects. I receive a few inquiries about them each month, […]
January 2021 original art sale preview
I am excited that so many of you are joining me in organizing and/or no-spending in February. A part of purging for me is selling the original oil paintings that have been stacking up in my studio and I realized I had better sneak this sale in before February starts for those who are joining […]
