Lazy susans can be quite handy in the kitchen, but how about in your sewing or craft room? I have been piecing together items for a sewing/craft room that I don’t even have, yet, but who could pass up a pair of lazy susans that would otherwise end up in the trash? Not me, that’s [...]
From Black to White Ombre Dot Glass Canister Set
Give a plain glass canister set a make over with an easy hand painted ombre dot finish. The ombre technique is basically a gradation of shades or colors. I painted this glass canister set with a masculine touch of black and white as my second undertaking in project bachelor pad, which is an ongoing collection [...]
Slice of Americana: Circus Skate Roller Rink, Murray Kentucky
On a recent road trip, I had the chance to stop off and see a real slice of Americana, at Circus Skate Roller Rink in the town of Murray, Kentucky. We had just returned from our stop off at the antique shops in Hazel, Kentucky, when I saw the sign out in front of the [...]
Tin Can Pin Cushion Caddy
I needed an updated pin cushion, so I decided to go large and make a tin can pin cushion caddy! Although I don’t actually have a designated sewing or craft room, just yet, one can always dream. I’ve already made a seamstress mini dress form, for said room, so why not forge ahead with a [...]

The Chicago Italian Beef Sandwich (in a Crock pot)
Chicago and deep dish pizza are often considered synonymous. I couldn’t agree more; but have you ever had a Chicago Italian beef sandwich? Having grown up in a small suburb just outside of Chicago, if you weren’t Italian, then you knew plenty of people who were. Mom and pop Italian joints were everywhere and pizza, [...]
Total Couture Tuesday – Fireside Fashion Chat
It’s Total Culture Tuesday and the girls are having a party!!! My sister holds an annual bonfire every October. Last year’s was no exception. We had plenty of music, food and spirits, and a gorgeous fire. We told jokes, shared stories and enjoyed a long night of fireside comradery. It was a chilly night and [...]
Sewing Room Seamstress Mini Dress Form
Whenever I see an old wire seamstress dress form, I can’t help but imagine Coco Channel in vintage Paris…pinning her newest design to one of these forms. I decided that I wanted a seamstress form for my craft room, as they are quintessential to sewing, a skill of which I’ve learned a bit about from [...]
How to Make a Paper and Wire Flower
Done up French Quarter style, these paper and wire flowers are much easier than they look to make. Spring is here, the weather is finally getting warmer and I am longing to go to New Orleans for this year’s Jazz & Heritage Festival. Knowing that I won’t be making it down, I pulled out my [...]
