More gnomes… Why not?

Found more great gnomes to rescue. I just love these faces! They've joined the rest of the gnomes out in the she shed. This is Billiam. This is Raytholomew. A few more photos... This one is great on his frog. Don't try this at home! The gnomes are taking over. Crickets too Gnomes snooze along…

Halloween painting

Found some wood turnings in my stash and just painted them in a vintage way. They're odd, but I think they sorta work on the mantle.

Painting an old Welcome mat

This old mat was here when we moved in years ago, but recently we had the garage painted and added new storage. This mat was set to go in the trash but since it would be in a landfill forever, I wanted to try to reuse it. It was sure ugly! I hosed it off…

Coffee’s ready!

More than a shed - it's my sanctuary. Also a place where old imperfect items come for second chances. A Facebook marketplace find for only $8... Scrubbed, sanded, painted... I'm still to coming up with an idea to cover the power panel. That's coming soon. 🙂

A Little Kindness Monster

We're expecting a new person on our family in March 2019! A granddaughter and we're quite excited though they don't live nearby. We're going to have to make good use of video calls and social media to stay in touch. We can do it! My son is a huge fan of Pikachu so I sent…

Tea and Roses – a Teapot Cozy

A new teapot cozy for the teapot I recently purchased. This one is made of 2 granny squares to fit each side, then seamed in anyway I could come up with to keep the 2 pieces together. The rose is an Irish rose, free patterns for this are everywhere online. I had the teapot on…

Myrna Mouse Goes to Dublin

Well, I did it. I finally made a toy and I am in LOVE with her. She traveled with me to visit family in Dublin and she's hoping to go again in March. She was a pattern from Little Cotton Rabbits and I am sure I'll be making her some cousins. This project was part…

Instead of a card…

For co-workers, neighbors and friends. A little something more than a card. Hope you're having fun getting ready for Christmas, too. 🙂

Camp Loopy 2014

I always look forward to Camp Loopy, but this year, between school and side projects, making gifts and so many family commitments - I just need to sit this one out. Hard to do. I keep looking at the posts, putting things in my shopping cart, but then hitting the (X) and going to bed.…
