CHANGES ON THE FRONT PORCH

It is hard to believe it is that time of the year again.

Summer is finally here and the red, white and blue decor, projects and recipes can be found all over blogland.

I think after the hard winter we all experienced, everyone is ready for a little celebrating and fun in the sun.

BURLAP PATRIOTIC WREATH

Hello, everyone!

Every year I like to make a different wreath for July, to proudly display the red, white and blues.

This year I did something different. Normally I decorate my wreaths with flowers and then add some ribbon, 

this time around I decided to try my hand at making a ribbon wreath.

VERY LATE SHARING THESE NEWS

Hello, everyone!

Hope this post finds you all doing well.

Since lately I don't seem to be able to catch up, I am here today sharing some old news. :)

I know you all probably remember a project I did last Summer, DIY Rope Lamp.

You can see that post here.

 

Imagine my excitement when one of the editors from Woman's Magazine contacted me back in March to ask me if I would be interested in having one of my projects published in one of their June issues. 

 

What was my answer? YES, YES, YES! 

I was so honored to be part of their wonderful publication.

The DIY Rope Lamp project was the chosen one. :)

But, like I said, I am late sharing this with you all. 

My project was published in their June 1st issue.

Who would of thought that idea would end up in a magazine! :)

Well, that is it for today.

Hope you all have a great Sunday!

See you soon!

Our son and his family moved into their new home, so we spent Saturday and Sunday helping them get settled in.

BACK PORCH CANDLE SCONCES

Happy Friday!

Before the week ends, I would like to share with you a small project I did days ago.

I have been busy helping our children with the move to their new home, so during the little time I have to myself, 

I am trying to get our back porch cleaned up and ready for Summer time. More to come on that.

One of the things I did was to update the candle sconces.

MORE WORK SPACE IN THE CRAFT ROOM

Hello, everyone!
I know you have heard me say this before, but, if there is one thing I dislike is wasted space. 
The way I see it, our home is not a showroom, it is where we live and I like to make the most out of every room in the house. I am always looking for ways to organized and clean a space so it will make life easier for all of us.
