Rescued furniture

I love a challenge as much as the next gal but I often over do it. I wanted to get my son a small table and chair set for his new home, which is quite old. Then we thought, it would be good to rescue something. So we went to Craigslist and found some freebies…

Gram’s Guinness beer can hat

There isn't a pattern on this post, but if you search Google you'll find some. This was made by trial and error for my small head. This project took a lot of time, and was fiddly with the bulk of the cans once they were joined, so I don't think I would make it again.…

Repurposing a wine box

In my garage was an Opus One wine box box that has moved with me to a few homes with the idea it could be made into something else. I mean, since 1994. Sadly the lid was warped, so it limited what I could do with it. I stood on one side and pulled up,…

Crochet rug

Joann fabrics had doorbusters and this jumbo yarn on sale 3 for $20.  They're @1,000 yds each. Before you poo-poo this yarn, hear me out. It's perfect for something I needed - a small washable rug for winter. My feet have been cold on the bare floor when I sit at my table. Pulling from…

Christmas Bynx Hat

Love this pattern and the poms I found on etsy. I don't have anyone in mind for these just yet, but that's never a problem for long! I also have a few January birthdays to consider.

Rectangle granny blankets

Made for the charity Project Linus, granny patterns are great for destashing acrylic yarn, which is what the charity prefers.

Gnome knitting

Just a fun garland on a lazy Sunday. There are no patterns for the bitty clothing, but the undies were a kit from Susan B Anderson - Get it here.

IOD Transfer

Today was about a small update to the fireplace screen. It's just a shed and the fireplace is fake, but it's my happy space. Sanded the old one lightly, since it's mdf. Went with 2 coats of this paint, since it covers anything. This transfer is Midnight Garden by IOD. You line it up, rub…

New furnishings

Found some new pieces for this small space - a linen tower and a wall cabinet. They match and I'm quite happy with them. They aren't hard to put together, but I've heard nightmares about missing parts and things not fitting. I didn't have these issues. At night I do tend to leave the bright…

Project Linus

Dropping this "big kid" blanket in cheerful colors off to Project Linus. Loved working on it. Hope it's a comfort.🧡💙💚💛
