My Blue and White DIY Pumpkin ~ bHome Fall Tour Day 4 ~ A Giveaway

September 29, 2016 By

One day when at my favorite mall, I saw a new store that just opened called Paper Source.

It looked interesting from the window, so I went in and browsed around.

They had wonderful papers for all kinds of purposes.

I spotted a pretty blue and white patterned paper and thought I could

use it for a future project. I originally thought I would cover a box,

however with the Fall season upon us, I went in a different direction.

Why not try my hand at covering a pumpkin. Something we have seen in blogs and magazines.

How To Turn A Garden Container Into A Water Feature

July 12, 2016 By

A couple of months ago, on a trip to my favorite garden center I came across a fountain

that I thought would be wonderful on my front porch.

I love the sound and appearance of flowing water.

The fine folks of Smart Pond contacted me and asked if I would create

a pond/water feature in my garden. I gladly accepted; however, I wanted to do something a bit different.

I got that epiphany, that “ah-ha” moment when adding water to my fountain on the porch.

A Super Cute DIY No Sew Lamp Shade

August 14, 2015 By

A super cute DIY no sew lamp shade was on the agenda yesterday.

After my sewing group left my house after a day of conversation, food, laughs and not much sewing,

my granddaughter and I started on our “no-sew project” for her room.

I had some fabric scraps leftover from a project in her room

that were screaming to be used and I came up with the idea

of embellishing her lamp shade.
