Our neighborhood has a cat problem, a bad feral cat problem for the past year. My neighbor feeds the feral cats, there are about 12 that hang out or live there. I believe three are pregnant now. A couple of years ago when it got bad, we were able to convince them to let us … Continue reading

Hindsight is 20/20
I saw this Tweet this weekend shortly after the passing of RBG and was gobbedsmacked – OMG YES! (I do have a fun project to share at the end.) Of course I was shocked and saddened by the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, I personally equated it to losing a third grandma this year. … Continue reading
March the longest month ever…
The first two weeks of March flew by as they usually do. The last two weeks have been about 2,000 days long. I guess that is what happens when you have to stay in one place and are not supposed to go anywhere. People panic buying toilet paper, water, and every milk, chicken, eggs and … Continue reading
How To Make A Blood Drip Necklace
Last week I needed an easy idea for my Girl Scout Troop, we are currently working on our Inventors Badge. I wanted something that would make the girls think outside the box. As with all my projects it had to be easy and cool, going with the “season” is a bonus. I was using my … Continue reading

After our huge living room remodel I really wanted shelves, rustic ledge shelves like these from Pottery Barn. Spending $65 for one shelf is … Continue reading
Printer Typeface Tray Frame
Several years ago Jeff bought a printer typeface tray for me. I had it hanging in my then “studio” and in Booga’s room for a while. When we finally moved Booga into that room I removed the shelf and it went in the closet. Originally for the living room wall I was thinking about a … Continue reading
Personalized Backpack with Duck Tape
Every year we go through the same song and dance on how to personalize backpacks. This year we opted for a lovely clear backpack with black straps (the rules at my daughter’s school is clear or mesh backpacks) the problem with black is it is extremely hard to personalize. I purchased some turquoise, purple leopard … Continue reading
Penny Ledge
The penny ledge started by me scrapping the ledge down to the bare wood. It took several hours to remove all the paint from the ledge I admit I was hesitant to add the pennies because it took so much time to scrap the ledge. I am trying really hard to tie all the main … Continue reading
