busy busy
I’m in a tight spot again. It’s that time of year. Last year at this time, I thought, “I need to remember this and gear up early next year.” But that’s easier said than done and here I am. Mini Mustard Seed and I are glittering and gluing just about every spare minute. Today we […]
chalkboard armoire & princess dresser
Another day of making ornaments has come and gone. My entire house is dusted in glitter and littered with shreds of paper. Sigh. So, since I’m stuck in monotony at the moment, I thought I would share two other new pieces of furniture I worked on last week and dropped off at Lucketts. This armoire had […]
2011 Ornaments
Mini Mustard Seed and I have been working hard to get lots of ornaments made for the Lucketts Holiday Open House (Nov. 4, 5 and 6.) I’ve lost count of how many we have made, but it’s certainly in the hundreds. That’s going to continue this week, but I’m also going to have to do […]

Painting a Brighter Future
As some of you know, I am a member of the True Value DIY Blog Squad. There are a lot of perks that have come with that privilege (like freshly painted kitchen cabinets) and it’s been a treat to work with such a great company. I recently was made aware of the True Value Foundation program […]
one of the secrets to great photography
The clock ticked past 9:00 tonight and I still had no idea what I was going to post about. It was one of those days when I work on things that are very uninteresting. I primed the baseboard heaters in my family room and the under side of my kitchen cabinets. Bo-ring. I was about […]
