A How To Propagate Succulents, So easy…

jackiecantblog@gmail.com October 7, 2017 0 Comments

Hello. Happy Fall. I haven't been around, so lets just jump right in! I had this succulent that was getting really tall and leggy. So tall, that it was falling over the side of the planter it was in. He was also growing Flower/ Plant babies off his trunk and out of his roots. I researched and found out that succulents will do that because they are not getting enough sun. Well baby, we live...

Hi There! Happy Memorial Day to you! And a huge Thanks to all that served for all of us. On this day I am giving you a quick look from 2015 and 2016, when I decorated the Front Porch for the 4th of July. Pretty Patriotic Decor, with Lots of Red, White and Blue! Bright Blue pots with Red flowers and leaves. A Red Vintage kitchen stool, a blue step stool, a wicker basket, and silver lanterns. These...

Spring Decorating in the Dining Room

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...

I had stenciled a cute little crate for my Easter table, that I love! But just to prove that I can't blog, I forgot to take photos of the before, the during, but I do have an after! One out of three ain't bad, right? ( I will be posting my Easter table later this week. ) Anyway, I love it so much that I wanted to stencil something else and saw this cute little flower box. I got this cute little...

Hi There. I have been having a hard time lately finding the motivation to work here on the blog. I love doing it, but it is a lot of hard work. Many of the aspects I am not comfortable with, Photography, writing, and all things web related. Please be patient with me as I struggle my way through. Because I believe that I could have something... In our cute little MCM rental home, we have this...

Pretty Shelves in the Dining Room

Hi There! Sorry, I have been gone so long. I have been busy. Work, life, etc. Enough said, we have all been there. So, today I am back with a quick look at the Odd built-in the Dining room. This odd little built in has 4" deep shelves, so not much will fit for decorating. But this is the little spot that I change up for the seasons, or when I am just bored. I do believe at one point, these...

Good Day to you! I am so happy that you are here. As I have said before, we are renting our cute little house. We love the neighborhood, and the area. Here is a little project I've done to make the house more of a home. And when we leave, it can come with us. A DIY House Number Sign. Here are the original house numbers. Perfectly fine, and they are doing the job. But I wanted something more. And...

Today, I have a look for you of my front porch decorated for Halloween. I love decorating my porch for all holidays, but Halloween is a favorite! I think having a layered look of everyday items mixed with decorations...

Another Painted Quilt

Jackie Hill September 23, 2016 0 Comments

Hello. I love quilts. I love quilt patterns. I love the graphic statement they make. They are traditional and modern at the same time. I painted another quilt. I am a little obsessed with them. I am not going to give a tutorial on Painting quilts. It is pretty self explanatory, draw out a quilt pattern and fill in with paint. An easy DIY artwork that anyone could do. I had this canvas that...

An old Window is now an old Mirror?

Jackie Hill August 15, 2014 0 Comments

I have the most thoughtful boyfriend. I saw this old window at an antique shop. I love the shape. Not too big or too small. I love the lead glass, the diamond pattern. I knew it could be a fun project. But it was the holidays and I wasn't spending any money, except on presents for my kids and my boyfriend. So I passed it up, and forgot about it. Then Christmas came, and there it was under...
