Check out this adorable project from Chloe at Celebrate and Decorate. These are bee skeps (I had no idea that’s what they were called…) They’re so easy to make, too! You’ll want to drop by the blog to see the full tutorial and to see the clever way Chloe finished her bee skeps. They make…
As you know, I love a good upcycle craft. This one from Julie at Sum of Their Stories uses old book pages to make gift bags. These would be perfect for gift cards, tickets, love coupons…you’re only limited by your imagination and the size of the pages. Be sure to click through to see how…
Rick and I have been catching up with the TV series Outlander, based on the wildly popular book series of the same name. In the most recent season, set shortly before the American Revolution, Claire and Jamie have built their home in North Carolina. Claire is a doctor and has set up a surgery in…
I’ve mentioned a couple times about reading the Wheel of Time series of fantasy books by Robert Jordan. Well, I turned the final page last week. Now I find myself with empty hands. I do have a single SKYP sock to finish, but I’m not into it right now. Luckily, the perfect project came along…
If a stranger came to your home and peeked under your kitchen sink, would you cringe or beam with pride? If your answer is cringe, check out Angela’s under sink organization system for inspiration. Angela created an attractive storage system that makes finding whatever she needs easy. No more digging in the dark and knocking…
Check out this inspiring towel and bathing suit rack from MM at Coastal Bohemian.

What a fun place to hang wet towels, bathing suits and anything else…

Thanks to covid and the need to renew our passports, Rick and I spent a longer period of time in the US than we normally do. I don’t recall it raining this much when we lived here full time! The yard still hasn’t completely dried up and we had to postpone replacing the roof on…
I think I like Dollar Store crafts almost as much as Upcycled stuff. The stores in my area (Dollar General, Family Dollar and Dollar Tree) have really stepped it up with crafting materials this Spring. I’m always amazed at what people come up with. Take Donna’s Easter wreath, for example. Everything on the wreath came…
One of my favorite childhood memories was my Nana patiently playing endless games of Chinese checkers with her grandchildren. She had a metal set with drawers to hold the marbles. I think the other side was regular checkers, but we didn’t play that nearly as often. As we got older, she taught us how to…
Sara of BirdzOfAFeather.ca has a gorgeous Tunisian crochet pattern to make a pillow cover. You’ll love this project which features a variety of Tunisian crochet stitches. Sara has a few videos in her post discussing the pillow cover as well as a tutorial to make the beautiful smock stitch. Don’t be intimidated by Tunisian crochet….
Before the lockdowns occurred I was noticing a trend in the little cafes Rick and I like to visit. Many of them had living walls where live grasses, succulents or mosses were grown in a vertical structure. Green walls were being installed in the city, too. I love the look, but they seem like a…
