I had read on numerous blogs that you could give wood an aged wood look by using vinegar and steel wool, so when I bought a new stool for my newly renovated bathroom I had to give it a try. I’m still so surprised at how well it came out. It really does look like aged wood! Who would have… Keep Reading

This was one of the activities I had planned for my little girls Lalaloopsy Birthday Party and we finally got around to doing the other day. We had so much fun doing it that I just had to share it with all of you. I saw a similar idea over at The Tom Kat Studio and thought it would be lots of… Keep Reading

It’s hard to believe that my little baby girl turns 3 in two days! She requested a blue Lalaloopsy Birthday party with a Christmas tree.Not sure why a Christmas tree, but  whatever. I already had this cute little white tree that I bought after Christmas from Walmart.

We ended up changing around some of the lighting, plumbing and even removed the baseboard heat. The walls needed a lot of patching. Like I said before, it was the first… Keep Reading

When I was participating in Project Run and Play I made a lot of garments. Some of them were never shown. Some of them were never finished. And some of them were “junked” by me and deeply loved by others.  This little out of control bias cut skirt was one of them. The moment the girls saw it they were in love.Even though it… Keep Reading
