I made this this no sew Minnie Mouse Halloween costume before I got into this whole blogging business. I made it for ‘S’ when she was two years old. It is probably one of the easiest and quickest costumes I ever made. I had not planned to make this no sew Minnie mouse …
I have this nesting table which is the smallest of three. We have been using it in our basement for some years now. As you can see, it is kind of messed up (I blame my little one for it). I am planning to restore. However, I am not sure what to do with it. …

Last year my brother got two wooden beaded necklaces from Indonesia. Now I am not a necklace person so I left it on my dresser and forgot about it. Last Friday I had this idea to make some magnets with fabric scraps and was looking for something to use as a base. I remembered I …

Mr and Mrs Pumpkin are our theme for this Halloween. It all started innocently. TEE is a huge fan of the mustache clipart. She is always doodling it on her notebooks, our IdeaPaint wall, whiteboard and any other space she can find. So collectively we decided to make a mustache pumpkin and to take it …
Finally after working for two weekends our Deck Makeover project is complete. It took my husband and I approximately 4 days to complete it. I know if we had used a professional it would have been over in a couple of hours, but I am not complaining because it was a great learning experience. Check …
The first project that I wanted to tackle after returning back from my vacation was to give my deck a good makeover. Let’s just say the deck makeover was overdue since last year. The deck which is pressure treated lumber is 3 and 1/2 years old and is still in a very good condition. As …

“TEE” made this fabulous and easy Duck Tape Hair Bows and asked me if I would feature it in my blog. I agreed on the condition that she writes the post herself. So here it is in her own words. I have only edited it partially. ENJOY!! Just recently, I participated in a math …
Finally, I was able to find some time to work on my dining room chairs. Last couple of weeks was very busy. I was juggling around 3-4 different projects. So, this week I decided to give myself a little break to focus only on upholstering the dining room chairs. I think the chairs with their …
