This DIY is fun, easy-peasey and CHEAP! We have all seen these letters on walls, right? The above are from Pottery Barn Kids and are on clearance. 8 bucks each. They have other styles anywhere from $10 to $29 each. Little Miss Piper had her name on a wall in her bedroom. So Cute. When Adley the Queen was born … ….oh there’s more
Okay. I got to admit, I’m not the most organized person. Terry just walks into my office and shakes his head. But it’s not really disorganization. It’s more like clutter. Because my head is cluttered. Therefore my office/sewing room is cluttered. I always have two sewing projects going and strewn about in the sewing corner. Then there are the websites to update … ….oh there’s more
In my final installment of cool and funky pillows, I present to you…. A pillow with GIANT POM POMS! That goes perfectly with the two other cool and funky pillows! I did some searching on Pinterest and instructions to make pom poms with a piece of cardboard or by just wrapping it around my hand. They came out very scraggly. And I wanted Perfectly … ….oh there’s more
I fell in love with this zebra fabric many months ago. Maybe more like borderline obsession. I could find no reason to buy it because I usually have a project in my head before I order fabric. I don’t like to keep a huge stash of fabric. So I usually have to justify–to myself–exactly why I NEED to buy more! But … ….oh there’s more
If you have been reading my other blog “Just a Slice of Life in Perfect” you might have already seen this post. I started a series of three funky and fun pillow posts many months ago and never finished the final post. I decided to create a whole new blog (this one!) and it took a lot longer than I … ….oh there’s more
Have I mentioned that my husband is a “rock star”. Well, maybe not in the music world, but definitely in his industry. Every convention, meeting, or conference I ever attended with him, it was all “You’re Terry Green?” Seriously, I’ve been to a whole lot of very cool places due to his rock star status. But that’s over. He’s retired. Incognito. … ….oh there’s more
I live in Florida. Oh, you know that. Officially, Florida is the “sunshine” state. Unofficially It’s the heat and humidity state. Which leads to a mold and mildew state. And no matter how hard you try to keep that nasty stuff out, it’s there. Lurking. Waiting. Three years ago I bought some old furniture at a thrift store that I painted white. … ….oh there’s more
One of my very favorites in my garden Do you know how easy hydrangeas are to root? Easy-peasy! Just cut some stems off of a mature hydrangea bush. Dip the cutting into a rooting hormone. Sometimes it’s called rooting powder. I’ve used two different brands but they both have the same active ingredient, Indole-3-butyric acid. Walmart, Home Depot, Lowes–they all carry … ….oh there’s more
Hello Kitty! I thought Piper and I probably most likely really really needed matching PJ boxers. And I took a chance and made them out of Hello Kitty flannel. (Doesn’t every little girl love Hello Kitty?) I don’t sew clothes very often. No reason. Just don’t like to. I did make 2 Elsas and 1 Anna last year for Halloween … ….oh there’s more
I was thinking about making quilts for all the grandkids. But then I started thinking about how many that would be. Zowie. So many grandchildren, so many quilts. I already made one for Piper last year. And I finally finished one for Riley, the oldest. As a 14-year-old, a quilt from Grandma is probably the last thing he wants. Too late, it’s made … ….oh there’s more
