Wood Shim Flower Art

Today I am re-posting an old tutorial I did. I was moving tutorials to the "tutorial" page and realized that this might be something nice to see again! Back in August I think I had 3 followers so I can pretty safely say most of you haven't seen it! Sunflowers are sort of Fall-like but with Spring stuff showing up everywhere, I was in the need of a … [Read more...]

Beautiful Tree

I usually decorate my own tree. As many of you do,  I change up the tree each year and it never looks exactly the same.  There are some constants,  white lights,  lots of silver and white ornaments,  vintage looking ornaments (my favorite)  and no tinsel.      I do the decorating while the kids are in school  not because I don't trust … [Read more...]

I'll tell you how to make it in a … [Read more...]

Another Man’s Junk…….

I thought I'd clarify a bit more about my taste in design. It's definitely 'eclectic' and moves from French to English to Vintage to Primitive/Country. I don't have a problem with it but some folks really need to pigeonhole you in order to understand and I refuse to be so contained. We'll start with the French part. I love anything with French … [Read more...]
