A Halloween Skull Mantel

Leading up to Halloween I will be posting a Spooky decor or craft post everyday. I just love Halloween and I love to decorate for it. I think it brings out that Goth teenager in me who wore all black and had too much eyeliner on. That girl in side me just wants to get out every once in a while, you know? ;) For the photo a day challenge back in September, the theme for the last day was Treat. I...

A have a wonderful friend who loves to sew. She often will give me scrap pieces of fabric. I have used them to patch jeans, and many other crafts. My friend knows how much I love Sugar Skulls, so she gave me a couple of pieces of this fantastic fabric. The same day that I made the 99 cent Art piece, I made this quick project too! This is a project so easy, that I know you can do it too! For this...

I am back with another look at the Dining Room Built in. You can see how I lined the back with Birch Bark Wrapping Paper here. Here it is all dressed for Spring, and full of fun DIY craft projects. When I lined the back of the shelves I hoped that they would give some great warmth and texture to the Dining room. I just love how they turned out, and got the warmth I hoped for. After using so many...

DIY Art for the Patio

Hi There, how are you? Thanks for stopping by. Today I have another piece of DIY artwork to show you. Last summer 2015, I made this herringbone pattern on a wine crate lid. I used wood shims from the hardware store cut into small pieces and glued them down with wood glue. I liked all of the different tones in the wood shims. But it just wasn't feeling like it was done, ya know? So, out came the...

A Painted Quilt?

Hi there, how are you? Have you ever heard of Barn Quilts? Well- simply put, they are painted quilt block patterns on wood that are hung on the side of a barn. They can be simple or complex. They are all beautiful and I think they are awesome! Last summer I painted a cork board with a double wedding ring pattern. I love it so much. You can see how I painted a found by the side of the road cork...

A boring post with photos…

Hi There, how are you? I hope you have had some coffee. I think that I am about to bore you. This is your fair warning, that this is not an exciting post. Are you ready for what it is? It is tiny/small space with more doors than walls. Crazy, I know! But please stay with me, it won't be too bad ;) We have been in our cute little rental house for a couple of years. And most likely will be here...
