Hubby and I went to Polaris Fashion Place on the north end of Columbus on Saturday so that hubby could go to Lenscrafters for new eyeballs glasses. Whenever we are at Polaris, we try to stop in one of our favorite stores, The Great Indoors.  Love this place.  Everything you could imagine for home decor.  Lamps, [...]

Pin It     I’m sure wreath making is not my forté but since I keep finding the forms pretty cheap, I’ll keep trying.  Here is what I did with some Goodwill and yard sale forms I found. Please note:  While I don’t expect you to find the exact same things I do, I hope [...]

  Last week on a trip to my favorite thrift store, I found a place mat for 25¢.  Well, let me re-phrase that.  I thought I had two place mats.  Even the guy who rang up my order thought I had two.  He was going to charge me for two anyway, until the lady putting [...]

  Apparently, I’ve been on a real craft making kick lately.  I’ve probably done more craft type projects in the last month than I’ve done in the last year.  I guess I can’t help it with all the inspiration I get from visiting all the great link parties out there in blogland.  Since I don’t [...]

  Friday I did some yard sale hopping.  At my second sale I picked up this funky picture frame which totally looks like a haunted house.  I wasn’t completely sure what I was going to do with it, but I bought it anyway. This thing has definitely been floating around since the ’70′s.  Gee, I [...]

  While I’m typing this the weather outside here in central Ohio is in the high 90′s with what feels like 100% humidity.  Not that I want to wish the warm days away but I’m definitely ready for a 20 degree drop and some cool nights.  Sunday’s forecast is for a high of 71, yay!! I’m [...]

Quick and Easy Art   After working on my high kitchen shelf last week, I wanted to continue by adding some more art to the walls.  Except I didn’t want to run out and spend any money. So I went rummaging through my vast collection of junk randomness and found a “wicker” looking frame that [...]

It was a couple of years ago on a cold, dreary, winter weekend afternoon that I was looking for a way to create my own unique lamps.  After much trial and error, I’ve refined my process. Making the paper is my favorite part.  Now, I’m not talking about paper pulp type making paper.  It’s more [...]
