Gallery Wall Take #2
Many moons ago, I had a large blank wall in my dining room. One day, I decided to change that. And so I began hanging pictures. I started with 1 big picture. And then I kept hanging more pictures around it. I didn’t have a major plan or sketch. I thought about doing that, but…

The Thankful Project
We’re doing something new during November. I’m calling it “the thankful project.” My inspiration came from this post by Emily Rose.

Mrs. Meyer’s On the Cheap
I think it was about a year ago when I first heard of Mrs. Meyer’s. Maybe it was from Nester. I can’t remember. All I know is that I was convinced I had to sniff her cleaning products the next time I went to Target. Then last year I had a life-changing experience when I…

Me: 1 / Sewing Machine: 0
My sewing machine and I have a love/hate relationship. Sometimes I love it. Other times I hate it. Sorta like my relationship with my workout DVDs. Anyway, I’m currently on good terms with my sewing machine and that’s because of these puppies: Yep. Many moons ago I showed you the curtains I made for my…
