Bob.
I received a comment on the blog a few weeks ago that just tickled me. So cute. Had to share. Hope he doesn’t mind! From Bob: We have gone to Shupp’s Grove for more than 10 years. We live in Southern Chester County, PA and it’s a short hop <60 minutes to Shupp’s. I have been to flea markets on both [...]

Snow Day! So pretty outside. Tucker spent hours today sitting in the window watching the big fluffy flakes. Was so tempted to put the leash & collar on him and haul him outside. I love watching kitties spaz out in the snow. You know, where they pick up one paw at a time and shake [...]

Oh, was there a football game yesterday? We had a nice day lazing around the house. Later in the day we headed out to do errands. The world was a ghost town! I took a walk through Anthropologie and saw the cutest butter dish - ever. Ever! I decided to move some stuff around in my home office. Low & behold, I found [...]

I hopped out of bed this morning (at 10AM…) and headed out to an estate sale. Rang the bell 3 times. Nobody home. Grrr. I shook my fist at the sky! Hate when that happens. They must have canceled due to the Snowapocolypse (that hasn’t happened here). We got a light dusting of snow, that’s [...]

4. February 2010
Last night I went out for beers with a bunch of suppa-creative girls from the world of Publishing & Television. We were out quite late (ouchie, my head). Everyone brought a bag of crafty supplies that they nolonger wanted. You know, scraps of fabric, ribbon, yarn, fancy papers, trim, books, etc. and we sorted through [...]

2. February 2010
I love the way little kids say “shoes”. It always comes out choose. Choose indeed! As threatened, I can’t stop taking pictures of those gold shoes. Sigh. They make me swoon. My Swoon Choose. I did contact 2 custom footwear places. OMG. So expensive. I’m sure their craftsmanship is worth every penny, but I can’t personally justify $850+ for a [...]

Who’s the crappy blogger? Well, me. Am super excited about a few personal book projects – but they are sucking my evenings and weekends dry. I haven’t had time to work on Renovation Therapy or any of my usual crafty projects. Yeah, I know, world’s smallest violin… LOL! Today. Today. Today. The kitties and I took the [...]

25. January 2010
I’m taking credit for this. Mom and I walked into our favorite junk store on Saturday and I spied it immediately. I made that quiet-yell of “MOM! MOM! MOM!”. She knows that sound and slid over to me. I struck gold. Hall gold. Hall’s Autumn Leaf coffee pot and water pitcher was just sitting on the shelf. I [...]

Mom and I went to our favorite junk store this weekend. Mom scored big. Pictures of her big score tomorrow. I found four more of those retro-cool bottle stoppers! That brings me up to a total of 5. Yay!

We ran away from home Wednesday and went to Pennsylvania. I don’t know what it says about me that I had nearly enough clothes & toiletries in my office to hop in the car and zoom off. I really should clean out of my office one of these days. Or, take more last minute trips! Today [...]
Continue reading...Another DIY Ironing Board.
2. January 2010
I made a big ironing board a few years ago and it has served me well (I have since taken the legs off). Occasionally it’s a bit too big. I have to pretty much clear off my whole desk to iron something. I thought it’d be nice to have a smaller ironing board to use [...]

25. December 2009
I was a very busy worker bee the last few months. I made about 75% of my holiday gifts this year. They were surprisingly well-received! I’m no fabulous craftster, but I’m getting better. Over the next week or so I’ll post them here now that they aren’t a secret. A few months ago I bought a [...]

On a recent run though the Salvation Army I spied a whale cutting board for $3. Seriously, how could I pass up this preppy goodness? All washed up and hanging from a ribbon in the kitchen. I wonder when the Fiance will notice him? That ribbon will make another appearance later in this post. It’s [...]

Thank you so much for all the good thoughts, suggestions and shared stories on the quilt post. Much appreciated. I have two weeks off at the end of the December and will tackle it then. I’m hoping to also scan some of the prints so that I can make a few accessories and fill in [...]

But first, Happy Halloween! Hope everyone has a great time. Please don’t *egg* my house. I arrived home from Minneapolis quite late on Thursday evening so Friday was a bit of a fog for me. The good news is that I will not have to step foot on another plane for several weeks! Yay! While I [...]

25. October 2009
Now that I’m over my jet lag, a good head cold has settled in. Right on schedule. Grr. Oh well, this too shall pass. I had quite a bit of fun at the Salvation Army on Saturday morning. Vintage apron, 6 packages of (3 pkgs. are hand painted!) old ornaments, needlepoint kitty picture that looks Tucker-ish [...]
