When the wonderful people at Modern Masters asked me if I’d like to review some of their products, I knew exactly what I wanted to paint – a floor screen I got at the thrift store a while back. I’ve always loved floor screens, or room dividers as they’re often called. I couldn’t believe my […]
My Craft Room Tour
Hi there! Welcome to Day 3 of The Craft Room Tour, hosted by Angie of The Country Chic Cottage. I’m starting today’s tour, but make sure you don’t miss any of the fabulous rooms from Day 1 and Day 2 Let me start by saying that there’s not a single day that goes by that […]
Painted Desk with Chalk Paint®
I’ve never kept it a secret that I’m pretty bad when it comes to painting furniture. I have no idea why, I just know that after umpteen failures, I swore off painting furniture for good.

A Non-Valentine Valentine’s Craft
There are times when the Universe tells you to . . . slowww dowwwnnn. Did you know that? It’s true. You might think you’re handling it all . . . hospital visits, daily blog posts, revamping the website . . . oh yes, you’ve got this. Or, so you think. And then you miss a […]
Burlap Love Banner
It took me a while to jump on the “banner bandwagon”. I kept seeing banners all over Blogland. Parties, holidays, whatever-days. I just didn’t get it. Which, by the way, isn’t that unusual for me. I am not much of a trend-follower. And completely forget about me being a trendsetter of any sort. If you’re […]
