If you are a teacher or a home school mom, you may be at the end of your rope right now. Our world has changed and now is the time to think out of the box. 

Repurposed Rusty Vintage Spring Nests

I am not really sure what to call this project but it needs a title so I'm going with this one. I was given these metal things from my friend Thea at Rosie's Antique Shop. 

Stenciled Herb & Flower Drying Rack

This is a simple project that can be made from easily found items you may already have at home.

How to Make a Repurposed Cloche for Spring

Now more than ever before it is important to use what you have. The broken lantern I was hanging on to hoping to fix one day, the tiny domed cupcake container I saved for someday... Today I'm going to put them to use!

I'm creating a series of repurposed vintage kitchen tools on Homeroad in the coming week. I'm giving a class at our local library and I'm preparing a few projects to demonstrate. The first repurposed project starts out with these two pieces. 

Gathered Around the Table Farmhouse Kitchen Sign

It's another day and another farmhouse sign request. Last time it was for an extra large porch sign, this time it is for a kitchen sign the same size. 

Since these two signs were made for the same person, are the same size, and I made them in the same way... I'm going to send you over to the Porch Sign post for the DIY details.

The saying was found on the internet and my client asked me to create a large, long sign with the same dimensions. The placement of the lettering was going to be my decision.
