This is a project born of necessity. I needed a nice, large low nap rug for my guest room. I also wanted to spend less than $80 on it. After looking at all the local shops, online and Ikea I was left empty handed. The large rugs were either too expensive, too modern looking, orRead more
Whenever I go camping, I tend to bring a lot of camp food. Something about cooking over a fire just amazes me. I think it is partially the idea that open-fire cooking is almost as old as humanity. Partially, I think it’s because of the child-like joy I get unwrapping something from tinfoil and discoveringRead more
Every family has their traditions. Growing up, every family gathering I attended had Pickle Salad. It is a creamy white salad made of cucumbers, with a fresh salty-sweet-pepper bite. It’s delicious and I always looked forward to it. Until I started attending my husband’s family functions, I thought everyone made Pickle Salad. Turns out thatRead more
Do you remember my BFF Amy? The star of such posts as Custom Pyrex and Dishtowels, DIY Cookie Cutter, Wedding Countdown Printable, and Spray Painted Cookies? Well, she’s my BFF. I love her. And She’s moving to South Korea. I’ve known for months, and I’m super excited for her (She’s going with her hubby to teachRead more
Have you ever joined in on a fad? You know, did you start reading the Hunger Games when everyone else did? Buy those bright pink short shorts in the 80s? How did it turn out for you? I confess, I usually try to avoid doing things others are doing. Mostly because I want to exploreRead more
Work in our new house hasn’t been going quite as fast as I’d like. By now, I thought I’d be brimming with finished projects, room reveals and all sorts of goodies to share with you. But, while we’ve started work on several projects, very few of them are complete. Slowly but surely. My craft roomRead more
I love Ikea. There, I said it – and its true! The prices are great, and I see potential in everything I buy there. I mean, check out my DIY Ikea Lamp Makeover and the Cheap & Easy Expedite Doors post. The problem is, its all *potential*. Ikea is usually really modern (especially the wellRead more
Its funny what sort of wondrous things happen while I’m out! While I was on vacation for the past week, I reached the 3000 Facebook fan mark! If you’d have told me I would be anywhere near that a year ago, I would have laughed. But this blogging journey has been a strange one, andRead more
By the time you read this, hubby and I will be in the UP. We’re off the grid for the next few days, camping, hiking and exploring the great outdoors. But don’t worry. Sweet Sharing Monday will still go up, and I’ll be sure to share waterfall pics on my Facebook! We’ll be logging someRead more
So a couple of months ago I dug out this sewing box. I bought it when we first moved to GR for $8 at a Goodwill. It was falling apart and I didn’t really have space for it, so it got tucked away until dreams of the New House started floating in my head. For aRead more
Some people love candy. I’m a sucker for Gummy Krabby Patties of all things. My hubby though, he’s not a big fan of sweets. He doesn’t crave dessert, (I know, right!?) aor delight in a slice of cheesecake the way I do. So, when I want to give him a nice treat out of theRead more
