I purchased this cute little tea set a few weeks ago at the thrift store. At the time I envisioned fun little tea parties with the girls. We would wear pretty little dresses and wear tutu’s.

Momma’s got a sewing room.
I think this just may be my most favorite room in the house now, but that has not always been the case. This is the room that caused my worst “why did we buy this house” melt-down. When we purchased the house this room was not being used for anything, it was a big, dark, empty room. There was no… Keep Reading
I kinda like it.
So I just kept going with my first paint choices and I’m glad I did…I kinda like it. No, I don’t love it, but I really like it. And in all honesty I think it will grow on me. This is a change. A big, bright change. So time will only tell. But one thing I do know for sure… Keep Reading

Great ways to use up leftover wrapping paper.
Sometimes I do something and wonder why hadn’t I ever thought of that before…this was one of those moments. We finally took down our tree today (right before my 2nd craft failure). Of course like usual I didn’t have a great way to pack up our breakable ornaments. Every year I say I am going to buy some ornament storage… Keep Reading
2 craft failures in 2 days.
People ask me a lot if I ever have a craft fail…well of course I do, everyone does. I just had 2 craft failures in 2 days.
