I'm so excited for spring this year. There's a fresh smell in the air from all the flowers blooming. The sounds of the new baby birds chirping in the morning.  Last year I had a small little garden.  As you can see a wheel barrel doesn't hold a lot.  So this year, went a little bigger and of course had to make sure it was a raised garden. There were many ideas thrown about how big the garden would be and how it was going to be constructed. The frame was the top part of a loft style bunk bed. My brother moved out soooo.... Instead of throwing the frame in the trash, decided it would make a prefect raised garden.  Moved the frame to the to where I wanted the garden. Used an old pull liner on the bottom. We have guffers, so it kinda stops them from digging into the garden. And added metal sheeting to keep the dirt from falling through the cracks.  Now its time to get some dirt.  Love that I live in the country.  My dad ...

I had been asked to make a purse for a spouse. I really enjoy make things but this is one of my favorites. I have made a lot in the last couple of years and no two are the same. Each one is unique in their own way.  The women receiving them really seem to enjoy the purse/ diaper bag. So lets get started. First get an ODU blouse Decide on what fabric you want.   Decide on if it is going to be a purse or a diaper bag. This is so you know how much you will have to cut off.  This one is going to be a purse. Then decide how many pockets. This one is going to have one pocket.  Add some handles.  I used the sleeves from the blouse and the rest of the patriotic fabric And here you have it.  A perfect way to support your SAILORS and TROOPS.

Most everyone these days loves a good ole upcycling project. This dresser has been out on the patio for a while just waiting for the right person to come along and to give it a new life. My friend Skyler just moved into her new place and had no furniture. Soooooooooooooo I thought this would be perfect for her. And she was super excited when I told her about it.  She came over, saw it and in that moment know what she wanted to do with it. Moved it to the front of the house and got to work prepping it.  This is Skyler working hard This upcycled project took about a month. From the cleaning, sanding, drawing and painting. Skyler is an amazing artist.(I will be showing off more of her work soon.)  She drew the picture by hand, then painted it with beautiful bright colors. Skyler did such an amazing job. I truly can't wait to see what her imagination comes up with next.
