I don’t know if I can…
…let this one go. I’ve been working almost non-stop to get ready for the Lucketts Fair and today I had a rare thing…hours during the day to get uninterrupted work done. My mom offered to pay for me to hire a babysitter, so I could get work done. Thank the Lord for mothers, more specifically, […]
Painted Pail Tutorial
I loved how much my large painted pail turned out, so I went out today and bought several smaller ones to work on. As promised, here’s a step-by-step tutorial and some other ideas for painting and using these buckets. Start with a galvanized metal pail. I found these on triple clearance at TJ Maxx, but I’m […]
Painted Pail
My hubby gave me a wonderful gift yesterday – the afternoon off. This meant that he took care of the house and the kids and I could do whatever I wanted. So, I took an hour nap…glorious! And then I got down to business. I did an amazing amount of work in the time that was […]

No finish and stripped down to it’s springs. This quilt fit under an unfortunate label…a cutter quilt. Although they were from different centuries, they […]
Zinc Frame…or is it?
Zinc is a hot “thing” right now. You’re seeing zinc furniture, zinc letters, and all things zinc in home decor. It looks so cool, but it’s expensive. Now, I’m going to say that as much as I love paint, I am not a fan of faux. Mainly, because it looks….well, faux. My friend, Jami from […]
A Pair of Clogs, a Pillow, and More…
My mad dash to get things ready for Lucketts continues and will continue for a few more weeks. I feel the lure to work on my living room, but there is too much paying work to be done. I had this vintage pair of clogs from my aunt, but they were a yellowish pine and […]
