Chrysanthemum Mirrors are all the rage in Pinterest right now. My sister, sister-in-law, and my Mom and I decided to get together once a month to create a project. I got to choose the project this time and chose the Chrysanthemum Mirror by Kristi at Addicted2Decorating. This project is a simple one and took us about…
Recycled paper art can be a great group project! This past weekend, my mother, sister, sister-in-law and I went on our annual ‘Girls Trip’ to the mountains. Every year we rent a cabin at the top of a mountain in Gatlinburg, TN, and do girl things. It is pretty awesome. And since my crafty inclinations…
Love miniatures? Want to make something amazing? Create a miniature scene inside a real chicken egg shell! This project is not as hard as it looks and the results are fabulous! My mother owns chickens; my sister owns ducks and geese. Between the two of them, they are keeping me well supplied in eggs for…
I’ve been working on creating some new items for my Etsy shop the craft shop in Newnan, and at the same time trying to perfect creating Ukrainian ostrich eggs. I didn’t realize how different each type of egg could be to work with. But currently, I deal with chicken, duck, goose and ostrich eggs. This…
Have you ever needed to enlarge a pattern, but did not have a copier handy? Happens to me all the time! You see, I live in a RV and a copier would take up so much room that I’d have to find other accommodations for the husband. Fortunately for him, I use an easy grid way…

I love the look of punched tin. And of course I wanted to go about it in a totally different way, simply because I’m cheap like that. So, rather than pricing out thin sheets of tin for this project, I collected a few aluminum cookie sheets from the Dollar Store. And faux punched tin was…
So I was perusing the dollar store the other day and ran across the mouse traps. After staring at them a bit, I threw a pack into my cart and was met by my husband’s questioning stare. “Crafts”, I said. He shrugged and moved on. Yep, my husband has gotten used to my weird way…
A friend of mine shipped some eggs to me a few weeks ago, including several ostrich eggs. Never having worked with ostrich eggs before, I was first very impressed by the size. The average ostrich egg is equal to two dozen chicken eggs. Don’t believe me? Check this out! That’s a heck of a lot…
I ran across some discount puffy fabric paint a few months ago and stocked up. I had no idea what I was going to do with it, but I simply couldn’t afford not to buy it. Know what I mean? Anyway, I finally got the paint out and put a few things together. In…
This post is a re-run from last year. Hope you enjoy… I loved the one-use soap idea from back in December and it was a big hit with my friends and family. They loved the little snowflakes and they were nice little gifts to give. And very easy to make. So, I decided to recreate…
I’ve been concentrating lately on feeding the dogs a bit healthier. But we certainly can be accused of spoiling them. I decided that I’d try my hand at making them some homemade treats. No chemicals, no preservatives, just something they might enjoy as a treat that isn’t table food. I found a great recipe for…
My guest bathroom has had blank walls for years. Simply because I just haven’t come across what I really wanted in there. Then I ran across an old vintage crafting magazine that mentions the art of Iris Folding. Iris Folding involves folding strips of paper and glueing them down following a grid outline. It is…
