There is something so satisfying about small projects and these T-shirt flowers are quick and easy and oh so satisfying!

Yes, another t-shirt yarn rug! I have wood floors and a dog who slips on the wood so area rugs are a must. And -since I own a dog, my rugs must be washable. And – rugs that I buy wear out pretty quickly from being put through the washer all the time. So yes, … Continue reading
I saw this on Pinterest and had to make one for my cats. My daughter worries that when I get old I will become a “crazy cat lady” I believe this project brought me one step closer! I collected a bunch of boxes from work and got asked “are you moving?” about 20 times. The … Continue reading

I have been fascinated with pallets for many years. A few times I have attempted to dismantle them but I just ended up frustrated by the split pieces and nearly impossible to remove nails. In my past attempts I ended up buying lumber for my project and making a lovely bonfire from the mangled pallet. … Continue reading

My daughter turned 11 last month and she had big plans for her special day!
