I wanted this post to be about my newly honed skills in transferring techniques. I wanted to show you something awesome and cool and unique. I wanted to have some neat projects that I was proud of and that could inspire you all. If you can settle for ‘eh’, then read on. But if not, I’ll understand. Maybe you have a spice rack that needs
Our RV Weekend With The Boys
Our first RV weekend with the boys is behind us, and yes Dorothy, there’s no place like home… We left on Thursday for a three night stay at an RV resort just a couple of hours away. The resort was definitely family-friendly, and probably not the kind of place we’d go to as a couple (although it was surprising just how many couples were
A Bright & Cheerful Summer Tablescape
It all started with placemats. Placemats that are so darn cute not creating a tablescape around them would have been reason enough to kick me out of blogland. A few months ago at a church tag sale a friend bought placemats but ended up giving them to my friend Penny last week during our community ‘boot sale’. They have such vibrant, citrus inspired colors and
Pillows, Progress & Puddles
My apologies for the cheesy alliteration post title. I started to think about what I could write about this week, and thought…hummmm…I made a pretty pillow I’ve yet to show you, and we’ve made some progress with the yard, but that’s only two words. We all know alliteration sounds so much better with three, right? Wouldn’t you know it, my klutzy nature came through. More on
Yard Reno Has Begun!
The backyard is well on its way to looking more like a yard than a mud pit. I went out Wednesday morning for a bit and I returned just in time to see the bulk of the work get done. Can you tell I’m just a little bit excited to finally be getting a backyard?! But first can I show you my deck planters one
An Amish Glider
I think it was meant to be. Make that, I know it was meant to be. About a thousand miles away in Key Largo this past winter, there they were, displayed amongst the other items at the upscale flea market located nearby our houseboat. It was love at first sight, and sitting on one confirmed my love was not unrequited. It hugged my body like
Garden Update
Remember last week when I said there were a few hiccups with the landfill for our backyard? Well, I hardly know where to begin, because the hiccups were really more like belches. We had gotten three different estimates, and aside from the prices being wildly different, the amount of fill we were told to get was all over the place too. The first guy said
My First ‘Photo Shoot’
Elizabeth Park, located in Hartford, Connecticut, is the largest municipal rose garden in the United States. Located about 50 minutes from our home in Massachusetts, a photography group I belong to opted to meet here on Thursday to take advantage of the numerous roses that are now in bloom. This lovely young lady, Megan, is the daughter of one of the members. She graciously agreed to
My Achy Breaky Arms
I’m thinking of giving up my gym membership and becoming a mason. At least I would if I had a gym membership. Now I know why masons not only charge a lot, but have killer biceps. You probably already guessed what this post is about. The stone retaining wall is finished! Can I get an AMEN!?? Here’s what we had to work with
Catching Up & A Country Fair
It’s early morning, and I’m in the enclosed porch now, by far my favorite place to be when it’s not too cold. The birds are busy tending to their babies and serenading me. Unfortunately, so is the neighbors dog, who barks incessantly when he’s alone. But nothing’s perfect. I am waiting for Fisherman to wake up so we can continue the retaining wall. That man
