$5 Friday…An Old Felt/Cork Board Make-over…Process Photos
I'm sure anyone could figure out how to make one of these but because I said we'd post instructions...#1. Layout chosen fabric on top of your board.#2. Cut the fabric to fit your board---allow yourself 2 extra inches on each side---enough to wrap it around and secure it on the back side.#3. Attach the fabric by stapling it to the back side.#4. Make your ruffle. (Should we post a step by step tutorial on ruffles?)#5. Hot glue (yes, hot glue, the love of my life) the ruffle along the line where ... View the Post
$5 Friday…An Old Felt/Cork Board Make-over Finished…Almost
Here it is...the finished version of my old felt/cork board.I chose some fabric I got on the clearance rack for $2.00 a yard at a fabric store in Provo.

I am dying to hang it on my yellow wall and add the quotes, ideas, etc. ... View the Post
$5 Friday…An Old Felt/Cork Board Make-over—In Progress
This is what I'm working on today...It's an old board. Felt on one side, crumbling white cork on the other.

The board cost nothing (I've had it since I was a little girl) and I'm going to use some upholstery fabric I got from a $4.99 clearance grab bag at Home Fabrics or some "off the fold" clearance fabric I got at Ben Franklin's. I ... View the Post

Caribbean Pork
I know this is a crafting blog not a food blog however...This is currently one of our favorite family meals. It's fast. It's healthy. It's inexpensive. And, it's good. And because it's rare for me to find meals that are all of the above I'm sharing the recipe with whoever wants to give it a whirl.Here it is:#1. In a large skillet/frying pan/wok cook sliced pork tenderloin until it is no longer pink. (However, I never use pork tenderloin. We always use the left over half of a pork roast we had ...
