I am really into coasters this Holiday Season but there was no way I was paying $20 for 4 coasters (beverage NOT included). So we went to my favorite supply store (Home Depot) and bought white ceramic bathroom tiles ($0.16 a piece). I once again am using PLAID Enamels paint (leftovers from last year) the … Continue reading

I Have a Space–Away from Prying Hands (& WIP)
My husband is awesome and yesterday (Thanksgiving Day) he helped me set up my drafting table. Note the Booga for scale he can not reach the top of the desk even on his tippy toes. I have a functioning printer (with ink!) and my scanner set up. I am so happy that I can set … Continue reading
Homemade Thanksgiving Themed Trivets
According to Wikipedia: A trivet (pronounced /ˈtrɪvɨt/) is an object placed between a serving dish or bowl, and a dining table, usually to protect the table from heat damage. Since I will be hosting Thanksgiving Lunch/Dinner on Saturday I want to decorate the house in a “fall theme” (hence the vase and the still unfinished … Continue reading
Two and Three Fourths Years Later My Kitchen is FINISHED!!!
We moved into our beautiful house 2 3/4 years ago. We painted every room in the house and even disposed of carpeting in one room.

My Dream Space (AKA: Studio)
I don’t speak of a studio ever because I no longer have a space to create in. My “studio” was forfeited when we found out about my son, it is now his room. While I am grateful to no longer be sharing a bed or a room with my little man, I am sadden that … Continue reading
Mummy Eyeball Wreath Tutorial
Here it is the Eyeball Wreath now cleverly named the Mummy Eyeball Wreath because my ideas seem to morph into something new. The original idea has been bouncing around in my head for a while I had recently found an old sketchbook with a bunch of doodles, one was for an eyeball wreath. My original … Continue reading
Bleach Discharge Packer Curtains (FAIL)
This week we are fixing up my sons bedroom. One of the things I have been looking at is curtains but there is no way I am paying $27.00 for one panel (and it is ugly!) I really want dark green curtains with the logo but I was unable to find what I was looking … Continue reading
