I've been on a sewing kick lately and trying to be productive. My craft room closet is pretty organized but there is no way to close it to cover up the crafting stash when we have company over. I ripped out the door when we moved in because I hated the door and wanted easy access to the space. More importantly, I share my craft closet with the kitties - their litter boxes are hidden in there since it is out of the way. While we have "pretty" Booda Dome litter boxes they are not really design … [Read more...]
garden time – diy orchid garden
I love orchids. They are among my favorite flowers and they do so well in Florida so we've collected quite a few. We had our orchids beautifully displayed in our old home but unfortunately, ever since we moved they’ve been sitting in the shade on a fold out table. Lovely set up, right? I should correct myself…they are my husband’s orchids. I kill them. I kill all plants. Plants don’t bark or meow to remind me to feed them. My furry kids are well taken care of, spoiled actually, but plants I’m … [Read more...]
chalkboard obsession – diy chalkboard message station

good day sunshine – yellow pillowcases

Since I know it will take forever, I'm taking advantage and crossing little decorating projects off of the list to make it feel like we are accomplishing something. Our family room gets amazing natural light thanks to full glass pane french doors and huge windows facing the West. It's our favorite room in the house even though it still currently looks pretty ragged. There is a huge list of major renovation projects to be … [Read more...]
this is halloween
Is it too early for Halloween ideas? I hope not because I am already planning. Halloween is my favorite holiday. Love it. I've been threatening the hubby for years that once we had a big enough house, holiday decorating would be a big deal for me. I think he thought I was joking until I came home with more Halloween ribbon...last week. I told you I had a ribbon problem.I'm working on him to host a big Halloween party. If we get good traction on our second phase of renovations by the beginning of … [Read more...]
start being awesome
Another Pinterest inspiration. Are we noticing a trend here? My friend fell for this and since she swears she is not crafty she recruits me to make it for her. It was available at some point at an Etsy shop but the link no longer is valid. Via Pinterest - Etsy link is brokenA funny tidbit for you - this friend reports to me at work. We have been friends outside of work since before she started reporting to me. I think her recruiting me to do her craft projects is her way of getting me back for … [Read more...]
