Hydrangea’s are one of my all time favorite flowers, along with lilacs. Unfortunately, I was never able to grow them myself. But, every year at the Scituate Arts Festival I go to the same vendor who sells bunches of dried ones for $5 a bunch. They last such a long time & there are so …

With a yard of burlap fabric you can make a pretty no-sew valance in about 15 minutes! I needed a new curtain to go over the kitchen sink & knew I wanted something that would not cover too much of the beautiful view, so I thought a valance would be perfect. I looked at Kohl’s …
I have finally accepted the fact that I will probably never have an entire room devoted to creating, but that is ok because what I do have are two large closets in the master. As I really only need one, I decided to make the second closet into a craft closet. There are all sorts of …
Well, I survived moving my daughter into her dorm room & I actually handled it better than I expected. She also handled it well & I am so proud of her for being strong enough to not only leave home-3 hrs away no less-but also for conquering the first week as well as she has. …

Today I’m sharing these Wine Bottle Solar Lights. This idea happened totally by accident-don’t you love when that happens? I had today off prepping for my daughter’s graduation party. I was putting together the wine station, because-really-doesn’t every party need a wine station? (over 21 only) I thought about what would happen when it …
I’m really excited about this next project! Dare I say it is my new favorite! I was outside last night on my deck about 10 PM drilling holes as I knew I would not be able to sleep until I finished this. Please tell me I am not the only one like this?! This piece …
My Dad built me a picnic table last year and it was in dire need of painting. It sits under trees and needed a pick me up. And after giving it two coats of red spray paint plus some stenciling. The power of paint, right? Gave this table new life. …
