I wanted to explain what happened to my site if you were trying to access it yesterday or today. My blog is self hosted, and my host lost it's server... I think I said that right. Anyway, it's all so confusing at times, but just like you, I was locked out of my site....eeek! Because I was down, I am a little backed up with my work. No worries, I'll be back tomorrow sharing more :-) In case you missed yesterdays post, here it is :-) HERE. ... View Post
80+ Simple Craft Projects
Usually on Sundays I share my biggest project of the week, well today I thought I would share 80+ simple craft projects. That's a lot of projects and crafts! They're all projects I've shared over the past 4 years. But before I get to the projects, I bet that you're probably wondering where I've been lately. Things have been a little crazy around here, as I'm working on several things at once. I have a few deadlines including finishing up my videos for an upcoming workshop series, Inside The Painters Studio. I cannot wait to share more about this with you all! I promise more information will be coming shortly! I did manage to finish my media cabinet, and I shared that last week. If you missed it, you can read about that HERE. I also need to apologize to all of you that ... View Post
Media Cabinet DIY Makeover
Media Cabinet DIY Makeover Many years ago we purchased this media cabinet. Over the years my taste has changed and I've grown tired of the orange stain. After consulting with my husband I got the okay to paint this media cabinet. But painting it wasn't going to be enough. I needed to add details and hide all the components that were behind the glass. Here's my solution. (This post contains affiliate links please see disclosure policy) I began this project by painting this media cabinet with White Lace one of my signature paint colors from Heirloom Traditions paint. I started using a brush and then went on to using a foam roller so I could get as smooth of a finish as possible. This paint doesn't require a primer. I also didn't sand this before I started. It was a tedious job because ... View Post
Jumpstart To A Healthier You!
Jumpstart To A Healthier You! So how did I finally lose the weight? As any women over 40 knows, losing weight is not easy! I thought I was eating healthy as a vegetarian, and actually I sort of was. But those carbs from the beans were putting on weight. I was also eating sugar because I was addicted to it! The program that I used for losing weight is called Whole30. When I first started reading about the foods I had to give up eating I didn't think I could do it. But I figured it was only for a month. So for 30 days I gave up sugar, salt (yes there are traces of sugar in salt). I also gave up dairy, breads, pastas, grains, alcohol, the list is much bigger, but you get the idea. Giving up sugar was hard to do but you are allowed some fruits. I thought why not and I gave it a try. With ... View Post
5 Of The Best Ways To Add Patina
This morning I woke up and made a pot of coffee. It's the first thing I do when I wake up in the morning. Well, maybe not the first thing, but it's one of the first things that I do. After drinking a cup of coffee, halfway through my first cup, I got up and added more coffee to my cup. Yeah, it's one of those kind of days. Just keep that coffee coming ;-) As I was sitting enjoying my coffee, I started to thinking about all the projects I've shared this year. So, I thought it would be fun to look back on 5 of the best ways to add patina. I'm always tying new techniques and I'm never really sure of the results. You are all the first to see what ever I come up with. Oh, before I share 5 of the best ways to add patina, I thought I would share what I've been up too. Well, let's ... View Post
Merry Christmas And Thank You!
Well, here we are just a few days away from Christmas. Let me share what we will be doing on Christmas Eve. My family and I will be heading to our old neighborhood and church. One thing that I really miss about living in our previous home, is our church. We've never found a church that's made me feel at home as our previous church. I have a long history of going to church there. I was involved with volunteering, and my daughter also attended her early school years there. And before we were married, my husband was baptized in that church, we were married in that church and my daughter was also baptized in that church. Last year we attended Christmas Eve service there and I got a bit overwhelmed. I think it's being with my family, in that church that holds so many memories for ... View Post
