I’ve been so busy that I don’t know whether to sit or spin. Where does that phrase come from anyway? While I get all of my photos edited for my recent projects . . . and I mean all . . . I thought you might enjoy some holiday decorating inspiration that caught my eye […]
Cardboard Christmas Trees
I have a huge stack of flattened cardboard boxes in the garage from the move last summer. I keep thinking I need to put them on Craig’s List so someone else who’s crazy enough to move can benefit. Until then though, I wanted to use a few for Christmas decorations. Crazy? Maybe, but it’s a […]
Painted Holly Leaf Dropcloth Pillow
I’m approaching Christmas in a totally logical, reasonable fashion this year. At least, I started out that way.

21 EASY Halloween Paint Projects
I’ve been digging through my Halloween stash to see what I want to paint for this year and what I already have. I thought I’d paint a haunted house and then I realized I’d already done one. Maybe a spooky tree? Nope. Done that too. Well, dang. I might as well share the list with […]
