Hello Blogging friends!
I have been working on the front alcove of our house.  I had a chicken wire trellis and added a galvanized metal container by using plastic ties. I put Styrofoam in the container and added floral. I attached a plaque I purchased at Hobby Lobby. Added some pip berries with lights.
The two pillows on the chairs I purchased at Home Depot, as well as the plant. The star lights hanging on the chair  I purchased at Ross.
This will be the extent of my decorations for July 4th.

Hey Blogging Friends!
I have severe anxiety. In order to keep it at a manageable level I alter things and make vignettes in my home. I don't claim to be an interior designer or artist.  I just like to craft as part of my therapy. I wanted today to share some things I altered and how I styled them in a vignette.

Project Share

Hey Folks!
I have been crafting some again.  I made a few bookmarks, a heart and Altered a wicker carriage.  To make the bookmarks I use bits and pieces off my  crafting desk..........just little snippets of lace and embellishments. I don't like to waste anything, I try to find a purpose for it.

Hey Ladies!  
I thought I would share a project I completed today.  I found this  doll size wicker chase lounge in a antique/thrift store I go to occasionally.  I decided I would try to alter it. This is my finished result.
The fabric is from and old pillow case. I then just started layering the lace and the embellishments.  The mauve satin fabric I made the pillow with is from a kit I bought on line........as well as some of the embellishments.

Just sharing a little wall hanging I made.


Thursday, March 8, 2018


I made this lantern swag, it may be too large for the Lantern, But I am going to leave it the way it is. The candle is one of those  luminary candles. I forgot to turn it on before taking the photo.  You will notice the table is missing it;s hardware. I plan to paint the table. If you have suggestions leave it in the comments.  I found those little turquoise shoes at Goodwill, The Little cherub music I found at  Humanity resale shop. 
I made this wall hanging yesterday. It somehow has curved inward on me on the right side. I got really tired when I made this and should have stopped and finished it the next day.

Good Afternoon!
Just a short little share of  Spring Decor again today.   I bought this wrought iron candle sconce  at Ross. The candles are from  the Dollar Tree. I look for the flowers in thrift stores. They generally come with a green wine holder or some kind of basket.  If anyone knows where I can purchase these types of flowers , please let me know. They are not silk, or plastic, they are almost like crepe paper but not really paper.



This wall hanging I made from a  Batten-berg lace toilet paper holder.  I glued each side together and put on the flowers and added more lace.

This is a photo of my dining room table decorations.   I found a wrought iron candle stand at Goodwill. I brought it home and created this Spring/Easter arrangement.  I used a combination of pink and purple candles I found at the Dollar Tree.  The ribbons I used are purchased from AC Moore.  The florals I found at a combination of stores and some I had on hand. I used flowers from AC Moore, Michael's and hobby lobby and dollar tree.
I think I made a beautiful seasonal arrangement. The best thing is , the wrought iron base can be used seasonably or anytime I feel like a change.

This wrought iron piece was also found at Goodwill. Again I added pink candles I found at  Hobby Lobby. The flowers are again a combination of Tuesday Morning, Michael's , Dollar Tree and some I already had on hand. This piece is also interchangeable for the season or holidays.

Hey blogger friends. 
Long time no see!  I had not been blogging for a long while now, but have decided to start again. I got so discouraged because people went to blogging they paid for the sites and advertising. My purpose when I started was just to share my projects with every one.
So if no one looks at this.............I will do it for myself.  So good to be back and doing things I love.
Dining Room Spring/Easter  Decorations.

This year I chose to use a lot of purple in my decorating for Spring/Easter. This is a color I do not normally choose. But the flora's I purchased to create my arrangement with, included  lavender , pink and white. I also use left over flowers I had on hand from previous projects. 

To be able to display some of my random china pieces , I placed this book case next to my hutch.  I love pretty china  and stone ware. 
The Lamp sitting on a book  covered with a doily came from Old Time Pottery years ago.  The two little bunnies were found at a yard sale. The china pitcher ,cup and saucer, came from a yard sale as well.  The little bunny next to the pitcher came from Goodwill.  The Easter sign setting in the back ground was purchased this year at Big Lots.
