When The Fiance and I moved in together, we both had beds and had to decide which of them we’d be using. Eventually we (I) decided that we’d use mine. Unfortunately we’d already planned to use the rest of my bedroom, furniture elsewhere in the house, and my bed was … Continue reading
Have I mentioned how much I love St. Patrick’s Day? Cause I do. When my daughter was a wee little one, she called it “Irish Day” and she *loved* baking all sorts of green treats, preparing the Corned Beef and Cabbage with mama, and getting little candies. She still loves … Continue reading
So, I started making these coasters a couple of months ago, just because I’d bought some cute fabric and I needed coasters for our living room. After making the first set, I immediately wanted to make more, so I made Valentine’s Day ones. Then I went to Home Depot … Continue reading

Today was Pajama Day at school for The Monkey. She asked me to make her some new jammies to wear, so when we went to JoAnn’s last week, I looked for some snuggly soft fleece to use for the pants. Her school mascot is the Jaguar, so we found … Continue reading
A few weeks ago, Walgreens was offering a free 8×10 print so I took advantage, creating a write-on/wipe-off dinner menu to go in our kitchen. I used a frame I got from Thrifting that same week. It was lightweight, and I didn’t even need to spray paint it. It was … Continue reading
