Claire at Pillar Box Blue has another simple but beautiful project that will make a beautiful display this winter. You won’t need a drill or an outlet for these easy lanterns because the LED lights are powered by a battery in the cork! They’d look awesome lighting my hallway. You have to drop by Claire’s…
A New Knit Hat for Sarah
I’ve mentioned before how much I’ve enjoyed watching Orphan Black the science fiction series from BBC America and Netflix. While it’s taken the show 5 seasons to tell the story, the actual timeline of the events portrayed is around a year, maybe a year and a half. Since the show is set in Canada, the…

Victoria at Dazzle While Frazzled shared a great tutorial on how to set up a Couples Gallery Wall. Of course, the tutorial can be applied to any gallery wall, but I appreciate that this particular one includes both heads of the household. Too often the decor in a home reflects just one partner (usually the…

Tarah from Grandma’s House DIY shared a great project for organizing all the jewelry that collects on the the nightstand. She started with an inexpensive mirror and went from there. You know you could adapt this for other types of frames. This post comes along at a good time because I’ve been thinking about making…
Finding Your Soul Dog in the Middle Years
Rick and I have been talking about (and around) getting a dog. We were at a friend’s home and they had two sweeties who were more than happy to let us give them attention. Even though we’re retired, we’re pretty active and would have no trouble exercising a dog, but it would be nice to…
