I’ve been on a ring kick lately. Check out these beauties I found on Etsy. Can you believe they were all handmade? 1. Blossom Ring 2. Rockwell Ring (wouldn’t this be an awesome engagement ring?) 3. Black River Ring (I would want to punch somebody while wearing this!) 4. White Rose Ring 5. Copper Pebbles [...]
I haven’t painted much since high school, but a few months ago I decided it was time to pull out my trusty easel and whip up something for our living room wall. Well, TaaDaa. I’ve finally decided that it’s finished. I even put the paints away so I wouldn’t be tempted to tweak it. I [...]
You will need: an icky old clock screw driver acrylic paint + brush pen scissors 12″ x 12″ scrapbook paper (size varies depending on clock size) Before: 1. Remove the battery and screws from the back of the clock. The back should pull away from the frame exposing the clock hands. 2. Carefully examine your [...]

This morning he probably planned to spend the day eating bird seed and maybe ruffling the tail feathers of a few lady birds. I think he enjoyed [...]
I recently discovered milk glass, and I think a lot of people associate it with tacky grandma clutter. Luckily I never made that association so I have an unbiased view: milk glass is awesome. Granted some of the patterns are lame (white grape vines? no thanks), but I LOVE the hobnail design. It looks so [...]
Lately my husband has been on a spider killing rampage. Any given night he can be found creeping around outside in the dark spraying the eight legged beasts. I don’t think they are so bad as long as they stay our of my hair and house—they are artists after all. Well, except wolf spiders. They [...]
Our yard is full of trees. The front yard, the back yard, trees trees trees. Inspite of all the shade I decided to plant some veggies. I found a gap in the trees and planted 4 tomato plants (including one Mister Stripey because that is a great name for a tomato), 4 cucumber plants, and [...]
