I spent Sunday afternoon cleaning and organizing my spice cabinet. It didn’t really seem like work. So this Spice Girl made a few changes. It all began when I spotted this old spice rack at a thrift store a few weeks ago. Do you see the $5.00 price tag? It made me think about what my current baking center looked like. Then I spotted this gem at the Goodwill. (You can also find vintage and antique spice racks and bottles on eBay.) While I have plans for the blue spice rack, I gave this ... View the Post
Fall Fun With Felt
I’ve been busy this week creating a few new, but inexpensive, fun fall projects. I am having Fall Fun With Felt. First up I made a holiday wreath using leftover yarn found at the Goodwill. I cut several extra snowflakes out to use in other projects that I will reveal when it is actually the holidays. :) Of course, this didn’t solve my dilemma of needing a new fall wreath so felt and I became friends again. Fall Fun With Felt I overestimated the amount of felt that I needed for my ... View the Post
Shake Your Pom Pom Wreath Tutorial
I created this wreath a few months ago knowing that the holidays would sneak up on me and be here like… tomorrow. I am so glad I did. Here is the Shake Your Pom Pom Wreath Tutorial.

As a child my grandma Mary always had a garden full of beautiful marigolds and mums during the season of autumn. I thought that such a happy memory would be a great way to welcome guests to our home. For the felt leaves I used a template from Creating Cupcakes. Holly used embroidery floss to ... View the Post
I Hate My Toaster or Oh So Cozy
Sometimes a girl just doesn’t know what to title her post!!! I Hate My Toaster or Oh So Cozy. I Hate My Toaster or Oh So Cozy Our toaster gets used every day, so it is always out. I have a love/hate relationship with my toaster. I love that it works. I hate that no matter how hard I try, parts of it won’t come clean. Every so often I cheat on my toaster by perusing the Dualit web page. I think I have mentioned Sweet Boy is getting braces, the Fashionista is in college and she needs ... View the Post
She Sells Seashells Stockings
Christmas time in Phoenix is always warm. The thought of heavy velvets and wools can get a bit stifling. I’ve been trying to think cool thoughts and work on projects with cool themes. You really can’t get any cooler than the seashore and Christmas. She Sells Seashells Stockings. She Sells Seashells Stockings I dug through the fabric remnants I had on hand; antique ticking, vintage damask napkins and a bit of chambray and linen. The stocking pattern that I used was by Simplicity, ... View the Post
