One of my favorite things to do on my blog is to give a shout out to other blogs that I love to read.  Today I want to share with you a few blogs I recently discovered. The first is The Handmade Home. I discovered them via their “Lazy Gal’s Guide” to declutter your home…

#NaBloPoMo – Recipe Changes

When I first started cooking and baking food, I had to have a recipe. It’s the main reason I’ve always been better at baking than traditional cooking. My sister has always been good at “a pinch of this, and a dash of that,” but it took me a long time to get comfortable with that…

#NaBloPoMo – Buy this one.

While I love to make things when I can, there are few things in life that I feel better about buying.   For example: I will never make my own taxidermy pieces. I just don’t have the skill set for that. Though I think one or two well placed pieces would look great in my…

#NaBloPoMo – My Mind’s Made Up

I’m the type of crafter who needs to see what my project will look like before I get started, so I often spend a lot of time in the planning stage mapping out what my projects will look like before I get started. But of course, that can’t always be the case. There are times…
