Every project has to begin and end somewhere.  Sometimes my projects begin again even after they've become a project.  This outdoor tray is a repurposed project from a Christmas sign...

I've had this clam basket laying around for years. Since we live by the ocean, I'm sure it held thousands of clams at one time.  I've been thinking about creating a liner for it for a long time now and I came up with a great idea that can work for almost any basket. 

I'm decorating my outdoor space for Spring and I ran across something to share because it's just that cute! It all just happens to go with my color scheme and of course... they are inexpensive! 

Another fun project from Dollar Tree.  While I was there the last time I grabbed a Jenga-ish wooden game.  I've used these games many times in the past to create ornaments and projects for the home. 

These adorable tiered tray signs took minutes to make and are perfect to decorate a tiered tray for any season! 

Another trip to the dollar store and this time I bought something for $1 and I didn't even know what it was but I was game to figure it out and give it a new life. 

It all began several years ago with a weekend fire pit build, which turned into a gravel surround, and now a great fire pit cover! 

Are you looking for an easy DIY project that looks adorable? This one is it!  For this project you can either cut out a tag shape from wood like I did or you can buy one at the dollar shape and repurpose it. 

A few years ago I made a junky birdhouse for my backyard. I used all reclaimed parts and rusty things I found around my house. It was easier than you may think, the hard part ended up to be the hole...

Lavender smells so beautiful and little sachets for your drawer makes everything smell wonderful. They make great Mother's Day gifts too! 

Game changer!  Every once in a while I want to shout from the roof tops when I find a new product, especially one that works just like you would hope it will. 

Coming up with something new for your front door is always a challenge. You could hang a wreath but sometimes something unique is in order. This is what I was thinking when I found these great Target Dollar Spot finds.

Usually I show you a step by step tutorial of what I'm making.  Today however, I was in such a zone that I finished the whole project in a few minutes and only got around to taking photos when I was finished. Trust me though, it's worth the read! 

The dollar store comes through again!  As I shopped Dollar Tree for Easter gifts for my 6 little grandchildren, I ran across these adorable treat sacks.  At first I thought I could fill them with treats for the kids, but then I had a much better idea!

Are you ready for a little Spring? It started yesterday and I am more than ready for it! These little bunnies are the cutest little things and there is no sewing involved! You heard that right, no need to drag out the sewing machine! 

Re-making Dollar Store signs has become a fun stay at home activity for everyone!  With the Spring season fast approaching I grabbed a few signs from Dollar Tree and I'm creating up a storm! 

This is an easy project with wooden hearts that can be decorated to go with any theme, any time of the year!  Plus, I have a few quick hints that make this easy project even easier!

Truth be told, I was never really a gnome lover.  There, I said it... and now I'm going to show you how I made one! 😂

This is a project for all those people who contacted me saying they couldn't find the Dollar Tree sign I posted about a few weeks ago.  Not every Dollar Tree store has the same stock at the same time and many of you loved the signs but couldn't find them in your stores. Today I'm going to show you how you can make them yourselves! 

Here is one of the easiest projects you'll see in a long time!  This Dollar Tree sign was easily transformed into the perfect hanger for wreaths all year long and only took a coat of paint! 

I found the cutest tea towel for Spring and Easter at Home Sense the other day!  It's so pretty you could frame it! I knew exactly what I was going to make with it and now I can't wait for Spring to use it! 

If you're looking for an easy project that costs almost nothing, then this is the one for you!  I'm using an old faced cotton curtain I saved and an inexpensive wire wreath frame. 

It's time again for another Dollar Store makeover and frankly, it's definitely time for Spring!  These little signs are perfect for sitting on a surface. They look great on a shelf or in a tiered tray for Spring decorating.

I think I better change my tag line to repurposed and re-loved and crafts.  I'm loving just messing around in my office with all these craft supplies.  Today I found a cute little cutting board and some shamrock napkins!

I recently bought a beautiful new comforter set that I absolutely love. The look of vintage dot chenille is gorgeous, cozy and in this color, neutral too! 

In case you blinked, it's March this week!  I dragged my Blade Runner saw out of the basement and onto the workbench for this fun project.  It's been years since I used it and now that I'm finished, I don't know why I waited so long!

I'm sharing another Dollar Tree project today. I don't know about you but staying home is hard! A trip to the Dollar Tree is a welcome distraction and filling my cart with projects to make at home is not only satisfying, it is inexpensive!

In an attempt to save money and to stay out of the stores, I sometimes recycle my projects. Yes, I said it. A project that didn't sell or I didn't love, or I am just tired of gets pulled apart, cut apart, and used again! 

It's almost time to start thinking about Spring and Easter and all the decorations that go with that. Today I'm stuffing carrots, not real carrots but the cutest little no-sew farmhouse styled carrots ever! 

How is it that it is already almost March?! Maybe because I retired from teaching last summer, or because of the circumstances in our world right now,  but I've never had a year go faster.  So seeing that it's time to change out my holiday decor, I'll start with a beaded garland. 

Here's an easy heart project you can make in no time with things you may already have at home!  Hearts are a decoration that you can leave up all year long! ❤️

This project was just fun!  I saw a similar wreath at Hobby Lobby and while it probably cost me more to make it than to buy it with a coupon, I love a good challenge.

I'm working with rub on stencils today and it couldn't be easier to get a graphic look on a painted surface!Did you ever paint something and save it for later to finish? Well that's what happened here. 

This is my very favorite kind of project! The one that uses something vintage you turn into something fabulous! 

Do you use artificial flowers in your home decorating? I do all the time. I use them in vases and baskets all over my home and they look so real!  I even ask for artificial flowers for Valentine's Day! 

Today I'm dragging out the jig saw.  I honestly haven't used it in a long time but a new friend uses it all the time for her amazing projects so I'm dragging it out of the corner!

What is there to do when you've been hit with two feet of snow and house bound for the third day in a row? Not only are we all house-bound on a regular basis but now in our neck of the woods, we can barely get out the door! 

I love the dollar store! Not for junky things but for the great things that can easily be turned into something fabulous!

Lately I've been doing a lot of creating with painting techniques. I love recycling glass jars into something unique. Today I'm turning a glass jar from the kitchen into a beautiful cement vase. 

Don't you just love it when you can change a thrift store find into something fabulous?! I sure do! Today I'm having some fun with a paint treatment that turned a few jars and terra cotta pots into perfect old world cement looking crocks.

This very easy project came to me very early one morning. With my eyes half open and a cup of coffee in hand, I created this stuffed hanging heart you can leave up all year! 

I found the cutest little canvases at Target this week and they were on sale! They ended up to be only $1 each! They are hand painted and couldn't be cuter as a little accent in a tiered tray or around the house. 

Another trip to the dollar store today. I returned with two small stretched canvases, I 'm going to use them to copy the Valentine's Day signs I saw in an online email. 

I think my new favorite place is the dollar store. I feel a little better about visiting the dollar store during these times than the thrift stores. I find something new and fun to repurpose every time I go and today is no different!

Here is an easy and fun project for decorating a tiered tray for Valentine's day using only scraps and leftover pieces of scrapbook paper and ribbon. Literally free!

This was one of those projects that began with one thing and ended up another then another.... you get it.  I'm telling you that this is tiling the easy way because I'm no perfectionist as you will see and I'm using a product that makes it as easy as possible!

I've enjoyed making these cute little muslin hearts so much and I wanted to share the tutorial with you today. I've also added some to the Homeroad Etsy Shop so you can grab some too!

This table from the dollar store Five Below had me at "enamel"! What could I do with this $5 table that would be cute and my style?

A trip to the dollar store always gives me great ideas! When I saw this small wooden sign my head was spinning with ideas.
