I went right up to the few days before Fall officially began before I brought out my decorations. Of course, this week it is going to be in the 80’s and humid again! I realize more each year that I am okay with keeping the seasonal decorati…
The other night, I made the last cuts of the season to my hydrangea bushes. Out of the three I have, two bloomed all season and the third started to bloom last week {go figure}. I decided to enjoy them in the house and used them in the pot
Debra over at Common Ground reminded me of this great fabric I had gotten from Décor Steals a couple of years ago. It’s a grain sack look fabric. It was a really good deal at the time, but I haven’t used much of it. Debra used hers for tabl…
I have been enjoying the simple pleasures lately ~ sewing baby gifts, hanging out at the pool on humid days, celebrating my granddaughter’s 5th birthday, patiently waiting for granddaughter #2 to arrive {6 more weeks}, doing a little garden…

I’ve been wanting to paint our knife block for some time. I finally decided to go ahead and do it. So quick and easy, and it’s back in business by the end of the day. Here it is before. A typical knife block. I had some Old White chalk pain…
Just in time for Mother’s Day, too! My last one from the first batch sold out last week. I was getting a little flustered trying to get these done in time to have them in my Etsy shop, but there is no rushing these! I planned out my ideas f…
