I found this sad Santa at the Salvation Army. I passed by him three times before grabbing him on my way to the register. His odd colored coat and silver boots really took me aback. He was made of plastic and looked dirty and sad. Where did he come from? Could I give him aContinue reading “Purple Santa”

I recently purchased some laser-cut wooden flowers while shopping at Joann Fabrics. They came in a variety of different flowers-they even had a bird. At only a $1.99, they were small and inexpensive.

I wanted to share a project I’ve been working on. Recently, a small goose planter caught my eye at my local thrift store. I glanced at it, but I decided to leave it.

Since it can be difficult to depict objects with sequins, I wanted something that was unmistakable for the season. I finally thought of the perfect idea: a spiderweb. Once I got the hang of creating the tracingContinue reading “Spiderweb Pin Art”

Are you holding onto a cherished shirt or other piece of fabric from a loved one who’s passed? You know you’ll never wear it, yet you just can’t part with it.

I love watching videos and reading up about furniture renovations, but I’ve always been too chicken to try to do it myself. Then one day on my way to work, I saw it. It looked like a large, ornate buffet on the side of the road. I was drawn in by the unusual decorative cabinetContinue reading “Upcycling a 1970s Mediterranean Dresser”
