This dusty old frame and scenic photo landed in my possession for a mere three bucks. Seriously, does it get better than that? I think not. Little did I know how ... continue reading...
Men’s Necktie to Tassel Necklace
I have a thing for men's neckties. I especially love the out of date vintage neckties that have funky colors and loud patterns, but you could use any old tie for this necktie upcycle. When I see neckties at thrift stores and garage sales I typically buy a few and try to keep them in the same color family so I can use them together on projects. Recently I found a few holiday neckties and scooped them up too. An old necktie will set you back 50 cents to a dollar, way less than you can buy or ... continue reading...

How to Get your Cat to Stop Peeing in Your House Plants
You are in the presence of a massive animal lover, but when our cat starting peeing in my brand new house plant I about had it! We have a sweet feral cat that lives with us, she is super skittish and rarely seen. When I brought home a few new plants she quickly took to using them as a litter box. UGH!!! In her defense, she typically goes outdoors so the fresh dirt likely seemed like a similar option to her. I went to the knowledgeable crowd on my Facebook page, searched the internet and ... continue reading...
Craft Room & Office With a Murphy Bed
We added a Murphy bed to my craft room/office and it is the coolest thing ever! Possibly one of the greatest bonuses to the new house we moved into this summer is the 5th bedroom. I quickly claimed this spot as mine and it's now my office and craft room as well as the spare bedroom. That's a lot of jobs for one room, but adding a Murphy bed made it not only super functional but stylish as well. Building our own Murphy bed just wasn't on this DIY girl's heart, that is way more than the hubs ... continue reading...
