I have been, ever so slowly, whittling down my list of projects that I hope will allow me to “Fall In Love With A House I Hate.” Most of the time I am pretty adept. But there are certain projects that make me feel like Tim “The Toolman” Taylor. I am lucky enough to have an Al Borland. His name is Mr. Décor. Yes, we do have a few neighborhood characters always willing to hand out sage advice. Tomorrow kicks off the “FALL in Love With Your Home” linky party. I’d love to see ... 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. While out shopping at Goodwill I spied a huge bag of leftover yarn and thought I could incorporate a bit of the yarn trend with a pom-pom wreath. (The base was a recycled grapevine wreath.) I know you’ve probably seen pom-pom wreaths. One of my favorites is by Bleubird Vintage. I thought that using a light ... View the Post
Life, Interrupted
This past week it seemed that each and every moment that I would sit down at the computer for a bit of quiet, happy time to visit dear blogging friends the phone would ring, a knock would sound at the door or someone would fill the seats in my office. Life interrupted. I will admit that at times I find this to be very frustrating. This morning was no exception. I sat down at the computer three separate times. The first inquiry for breakfast came just minutes after I was seated. French ... View the Post
Mum’s The Word Fall Wreath Tutorial
While the thermometer might read 110 degrees here in Phoenix my heart says that it is fall. I recently created a new wreath for the front door. Here is the Mum’s The Word Fall 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
Imagine
When a guy cuts me off in traffic I think “Maybe he just got a call that his child is headed to the hospital.” When the sales clerk snarls “No, it is NOT on sale.” I smile and gently show her the ad, because perhaps her dog has just died. When a kid is really mean to my son I hug him and tell him to practice patience and kindness in return. I remind him that the little boy’s parents have recently divorced and he probably feels lost. Imagine if everyone gave everyone else the ... View the Post
Thinking Outside the Lunchbox Mommy Duel on the Playground
For many it’s that time of year again. The annual “What do I pack my kid for lunch?” blah’s. I used to have this same dilemma until I came across a few blogs that feature Bento lunchboxes. For those of you unfamiliar with the art of Bento, it is a single-portion meal originating in Japan. A traditional bento consists of rice, fish or meat, and one or more pickled or cooked vegetables, packed artistically in a box-shaped container. I will stop right here and let you know I DO NOT take it to ... View the Post
