Kimberly and I have decided that Lowe's is the new Michael's. They have creative solutions for just about every project. We had a lunch date at Lowe's this week to pick through their wide variety of washers - of the metal disk kind, not the clothes washing sort. We were a sight to see - kneeling on the floor, laying out patterns with washers, in heels and skirts. Our inspiration came ...
Our Modish project this month was a magnetic memo board. I love this project - especially for the kitchen because my refrigerator is stainless steel so I always need a way to display the kiddos' artwork, my endless supply of lists, and various other lovelies. This one is going into the office space that I share with my husband. It couldn't be too girly or I'd never hear the end of it! All ...
Hello friends! Can you help me with a project? Sure, I could Google it, but I'd much rather hear from you. That's why we have each other, right? {big hug} I have a pair of dress pants that I'd like to turn into cuffed shorts. They are now about 2 sizes too big {yay!}, but I'd like to try a re-fashion instead of getting rid of them.

Disgust. Hunger. Stupidity. Wonder. Jealousy. Lust. More Hunger. More Inspiration. And that's only in the first 2 minutes of logging on. Seriously, are you on yet? I have one board to "pin" projects ...
I finished it!! Finally! The tee-pee for my boys' playroom is complete. This was a tough project to finish because I'm so limited on working space right now and it required a lot of fabric. As I mentioned in a previous post, I decided to use a painter's dropcloth for this project. It was the perfect solution - affordable and paintable. I really wanted to get Dylan in on the creative ...
The Indie Craft Experience is always a good time. Jenn, Kimberly, and I were able to enjoy it together. We saw everything from vintage jewelry to paper art to felt poop mounted on a plaque. {Yeah. I guess there's a buyer for everything.} And I am in awe of the talent that these artists possess! Just a few sights from the day: ...
Sometimes it's just a good thing to start over, like I did today. Before... After! I even had enough to donate! I have happy hai ...
