Week Two of the Giveaway! My daughter Jes was here for the weekend and says the rules for this Giveaway are confusing. She thought I was giving a tote away every week. No Jes. That’s not the way it goes. Comment one time every week, today and for the next four weeks then I will randomly chose a winner from all the … ….oh there’s more
As I mentioned in last week’s post about renovating the basement, here’s some projects that I thought I’d talk about. Storage and organization was a top priority. We had a dresser plus a hall closet so clothes storage wasn’t a problem. But there’s all that other stuff! Like food, totes, hats, dog accessories! I found this cart at Target on sale. … ….oh there’s more
GIVEAWAY CLOSED! It’s September 1st! Not too long until the first day of Autumn and then it’s Halloween, and WHAM, Christmas is breathing down your neck. Totally not ready for any of that! In honor of nothing in particular, I’ve decided to have another “Giveaway”. Maybe I’ll do this every six months. Maybe I won’t. For the next five … ….oh there’s more
Our annual visit to see our kids and grandkids in North Dakota lasted six weeks again this year. It was nice to get out of the heat and rain here in Florida and fun to play with the grandkids. (We missed those days of perpetual rain) Most of our time was spent working on renovating the basement. A little history … ….oh there’s more
I’ve posted about easy peasy pillow covers in the past. But thought I’d revisit the subject. Just because. This project is so simple, anyone can do it. Seriously. The hardest part is calculating what size to cut the fabric. And I’ve done that for you! If you have a sewing machine that sews straight seams, a pair of scissors, a tape measure … ….oh there’s more
Last December I said to myself, I should make a goal of one new quilt a month. Then I said to myself, are you crazy? So, I scraped that goal for something more realistic. Like making quilts for all eight grandkids. Got Riley’s denim quilt finished and delivered in April. I made Piper’s “heart of my heart” quilt last summer… … ….oh there’s more
If you follow me on Pinterest, you might have noticed a board for “Things that Piper wants me to make her”. My 4-year-old granddaughter LOVES Pinterest. We spend “quality” time going through all the pins for mermaids, assorted softies, and cat-themed pillows. So when we came across the pin for this mermaid tail, she really thought I should make it for her. … ….oh there’s more
I’m always looking for little DIY projects that are easy and quick that will hold a 4-year-old’s interest. Piper is trying to learn her letters, so we decided that the fridge could really use some color and we’d make some names to spice it up. While Adley was napping, we pulled out an adhesive magnet sheet that I bought at Hobby … ….oh there’s more
I haven’t been posting much here because I’ve been disappointed in the WordPress theme that I’ve been using. I tried several themes before settling on one and thought it was PERFECT! But after actually using it for a few months, I discovered several problems. So, I’m trying a new one, and I’ll be experimenting some more. Meanwhile, we’re enjoying our … ….oh there’s more
Piper asked me to make her a mermaid waaaaaaay back in April when I was visiting. Told her that I would get right on it as soon as I got home. Of course, whatever I make for Piper, I make for Addison, Kendall, and Adley. So now we’re up to four mermaids. My first thought was to take my Wee … ….oh there’s more
