SEWING MASKS

     Are you wondering where you can get yourself a mask? If you have a few supplies at home, you can make yourself your own.  No need to leave the house.  Wearing a face mask might not protect you from getting Covid19, but

Floral Crown

Last month my sister and brother in law came to Texas with their girls for a visit.  We ended up doing a quick unplanned family photo shoot for which I made these lovely crowns.  Living on top of a

Flower Wall Hanging

I've always had a place in my heart for collecting things.  When I was young I collected rocks, sand

in jars, shells, pencils, stickers you name it.  It sounds like I had a slight hoarding issue (which is

Propagating Mums

     After buying a house, all I wanted to do is fill it with pretty things and plant a lot of beautiful plants.  The problem with that was, I didn't have an unlimited budget. Money doesn't grow on trees!  My adventure into propagation started with buying a few gardening books from the local Goodwill.  My husband also stopped by a garage sale on the way home and bought some landscaping books.  I tried to read through them all but knowing me, I skimmed through them quickly and searched for all the photos.  Even though I didn't read every one of those books, I did read some and I learned a lot.  The key to having a beautifully landscaped yard is not only hard work but also knowledge!  The more you know about your plants, the better your plants will look and the longer they will survive.

Wall Quote

In the morning when I rise give me Jesus 

When you buy your first home you get a lot of new empty walls. You end up having so much space, you don't know what to fill it with.  I made this DIY to fill the space in my kitchen nook where I spent most of my time.  It was a daily reminder to always start my day with Jesus. I chose this quote from a song by Jeremy Camp but you can choose your favorite bible verse or something that will encourage you daily.

He has made everything beautiful in its time.

At my house in Seattle I have a gorgeous hydrangea plant.  The colors of the flowers are constantly
