My DIY Bedroom Makeover

Looking Beyond the Pain of Summer’s Heat
This summer was brutal. Heat and drought combined like a one-two punch in what seemed like a cruel and final knock- out blow to many. Mind you, all was not a loss. The country folk are long-thinking…one season, one year is not the end-all and be-all when your family is on the land for a […]

Pillow Case Skirts: Simple, Frugal and Fast
Most of the time, my sewing time is devoted to my kids. Diapers, woolies, aprons, dresses, and the list goes on. I know why- it’s predictable and safe. I know exactly what sizes will fit them and how much fabric I need to make it happen. And, in my limited skills, I can make some […]
