Do you really think I’m mean?
I had so many people send me e-mails and comments asking for a tutorial and fabric source for my dining room curtains. Come on, ladies! You’re my girls. Do you really think I would leave you all hanging like that? All you have to do is pay $50 for the e-tutorial and I’ll tell you everything! […]
Sneak Peek – Dining Room Curtains
It was a giddy moment when my new curtains went up in my dining room this afternoon. I still have one more panel to make and a few more finishing touches and the dining room will be done**. The best thing about these curtains? They look luxurious, but each panel took about 20 minutes to make and […]
A Vintage Find With Many Modern Uses

A Tribute to Our Creator
This post is totally off-topic, but I thought I would give you a peek into my life as a youth pastor’s wife.

It’s the Perfect Kitchen, but…
…it’s not “me.” You can put me down as the biggest whiner on earth. I have a big kitchen with tons of storage, nice cabinets, new counters, quality floors, good lighting…and I still want to do a total makeover. I have not shared a whole lot about my kitchen, because it’s not my taste. It’s […]
