    I cut my curtains in half //& learned about risk in the process//

    Remember my guest room? And the curtains I made? You might remember that I bought less fabric than I should have because A) I wanted long curtains and B) I wanted to save $. 4 years later, the curtains were still too thin on the sides and were constantly taunting me with their thinness every time I…

    chalkboard art, imitation, and husbands

    Several months ago, my husband and I built a massive chalkboard for our kitchen. I believe this was the first time I revealed it to the world via social media.

    Hey hey! Happy Monday to you! There are several projects around my home that are long overdue to be shared with ya. Remember I told you ages ago that I was working on a pallet project?
