Patio Sitting Area

Good Afternoon! I have been showing bits and pieces of the back yard before the summer is over. I decorated the Patio months ago, and we have been enjoying it so much this summer. It is bright and colorful, and most of all comfortable. Today I am showing the sitting area. This is where I go to most when I am on the patio. It is where I sit and have a drink and watch the puppies play in the yard....

DIY Shibori Pillow Cover

Hello. I did a cute and fun project awhile ago. Shibori is a hot trend right now, and I love the color blue. If you are not familiar with Shibori, it is simply a wrap and tie dye technique. That can get messy. There had to be a quicker, easier way. I saw this project in my HGTV magazine, and of course on Pinterest. It was very satisfying and I love the results!  Materials needed: White...

Hello. I don't want this to be one of those postings, but bare with me. I mentioned a few postings ago that I have been having a hard time lately.

They think they are...

Shopping bags to Pennate Banner for the Patio

Hi There! I am so happy that you're here. Lately I have been showing a few outdoor projects that I have done to decorate my back yard on the cheap! Easy projects that I think anyone can do. Today I have a super simple project that took very little time at all. Here is a view of the patio on the side of the garage in the back yard. For the last two years I have had the Mexican plastic Picado...

Another Outdoor Gallery Wall

Hi! For the next couple of posts, I will be showing you the back yard and how we have had it decorated this summer. Seems like a good time, since the summer is more than half way over. Soon, I will be taking it all down and putting it away. This fence is on the south side of our yard. It was a huge bare spot that just needed something. Of course I had a few thrifted frames in my stash. Out came...
