Painted Craft Birdhouses
Monday was my kids' first day back to school after a week with the flu. My husband, kids and I all got a bad case of the flu this month, even though we all got our flu shots! Having the kids home for a whole week got a little tough at the end. Even though my kids were under the weather, they were starting to get bored! Luckily, I had some craft supplies and a box of acrylic craft paints on hand, and my daughters and I spent a fun afternoon together painting birdhouses! The birdhouses and paints are relatively inexpensive and can be found at just about any craft store. DIY Painted Continue reading...
Happy Spring Crafts
I can't tell you how happy I am that it is now spring! The winter was a tough one for my family, what with my broken wrist and my family's recent bout of the flu. Here's hoping for a healthy and happy spring! New Spring Flowers When I was outside today, I was thrilled to see that some of my flowers are beginning to poke up through the soil. It looks like my tulips are starting to grow, and some of my flowers in my southern exposure garden are starting to break through the soil, too! My family is just starting to get better from the flu, so I wasn't able to tackle any Continue reading...
“Tweet” Burlap and Chevron Wreath
I am so excited that spring starts this month! So, I just had to get started on crafting new spring décor for my home. I first got started by making a spring wreath for my house. My kids and I have been enjoying watching the birds eat at a feeder we placed just outside our home’s living room window this winter. I knew that I wanted my spring wreath to look a little bit like a bird’s nest, since my daughters and I are such big birdwatchers! I thought a grapevine wreath would work perfectly for my project, since grapevine wreaths are relatively inexpensive, look pretty much like birds’ Continue reading...
Easy and Quick Way to Clean Stove Grates
One thing I hate to do the most in my kitchen is clean stove grates. I forget about cleaning the stove grates for so long, so by the time I get around to cleaning them, I wind up with baked-on grease that's really tough to scrub off! Yuck! So instead of scrubbing all day long, I use my easy stove cleaning method that I found on -- where else -- Pinterest! Materials Needed 4 Ziploc Gallon Storage Bags A teaspoon or less of ammonia for each Ziploc bag (you only need a small amount per bag) Dish cleaning sponge (I like to use Continue reading...
Spring Countdown: Seed Starting
Normally, I aim to get my garden started on Saint Patrick's Day. But since snow is forecasted for this Saint Patrick's Day, I think I will be prepping my garden and seed starting a little late this year! But I found one wonderful project that I can try -- an indoor greenhouse! Thanks to the Taylor-Made Ranch Homestead Blog, I found a really simple and inexpensive way to start seeds for spring indoors! The folks at the Taylor-Made Ranch Homestead Blog have a tutorial on how to create an "indoor greenhouse" by starting seeds with seed starting mix in a clear Continue reading...
Countdown Until Spring & Craft Magnets
OK -- enough already! I am so sick of winter! The temperatures are down in the 20s today, and I can't take it! But at least I can take comfort in the cute bird and springtime magnets that I made the other day for my refrigerator door. It makes me think that spring can't be too far off! I can see them right now as I write this post from my "home office" -- the kitchen table! I just love springtime crafts! I found the materials for my fridge craft magnets when I was out shopping for fabric at my local craft store. I have been planning a big redesign for my home's living room, and was out Continue reading...
New Living Room Design
A new sofa is due to arrive soon for my home’s living room, so I have been working on designing a new living room design scheme for our "new" living room! With the exception of a piano and some toy chests, our living room has never had much in it -- it's always been more of an open play space for the kids! Modern Living Room Design Now that my kids spend more time reading on their Kindles and playing games on their Ipods, I've decided that it's time to take back the living room! I would like to take down the heavy drapes and replace them with something more fun and colorful, Continue reading...
