Due to Spider Attacks the Art of Homemaking Post is Being Rescheduled! (And some other stuff…)

So I've spent the last few days mulling over the life expectancy of van dwelling spiders and decided that without a food source my mini monster wouldn't be with us much longer.Wrong.Yesterday I'm stopped at a light when I see a black spot on the corner of my sunglasses.  When my eyes focus on the speck I realize it's the spider!   ON MY SUNGLASSES!! ON MY FACE!!!! So being the rational person I am I rip off my sunglasses and throw them against the front window, sending the spider flying off who ... View the Post

A Multi-Purpose Maxi Skirt for $5 Friday

Awhile back I was wedding dress shopping with my little sister when I saw the cutest skirt.  It was white with a wide elastic waistband and had a bunch of pick-ups and as soon as I saw it I made a note to myself to make one like it for Grace this spring and today I finally did it.  (Dude, that was a long sentence.) So yesterday I took Grace to Wal-Mart and let her choose any color fabric she wanted---she chose orange.  (Yes, I bought fabric at Wal-Mart...I'm not a fabric snob.)  I was ... View the Post

Thrifted Thursday–A Vintage Circus Blanket

Look at the gem from the thrift store that I scored a couple of weeks ago!  I seriously ran right to it and snatched it up before someone else did.  Although to tell you the truth, nobody else wanted it...no one else even looked at it.Ok.  Let me back up a minute.  I have to tell you all a story.  At the end of last summer I bought some Target-clearanced, turquoise, quatrefoil dishtowels for a buck.  I immediately saw them and thought, "those would make a darling skirt." So, I grabbed two packs ... View the Post

A May Day Flower Headband Tutorial.

(Or even a flower girl headband -- wouldn't they be absolutely darling!) Happy May Day! I know the origin of the holiday has changed a number of times, but I love the idea of celebrating Spring.  I remember in Elementary school learning Maypole dances and even then I just loved the idea of girls in Spring dresses dancing, throwing flowers and all-around celebrating Spring (I think it was all the Anne of Green Gables I read as a girl.) So, we had to celebrate May Day in style.  With two little ... View the Post
