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. 

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

When you have a lot of time on your hands you can get a lot done. Like the vintage cupboard I've had in my garage for a few years that is finally getting a makeover! 

Now more than ever before it is important to use what you have. 

I was super disappointed when one of my favorite sparkly, chunky necklaces broke. Should I repair it or use the pieces for something else?

I made a very simple project today that can be customized in many ways. All you need to start is a large board. 

I was the lucky recipient of a few broken picnic bench pieces. They were from an old children's set, the best of the batch were the bench seats. 

With the repurposing of this vintage cheese grater, I'm preparing to teach a class at our local library. I'm making  projects similar to those I've made in the past and sold. I want to show the people that come to my class how they can turn an old item into something new and fun for their homes. 

Every once in a while I find a project that takes one of mine to the next level. These large carrots are one of those crafty projects I just had to make for myself.

Being a crafter I no longer spend money on holiday decor I see at the stores, but I am inspired by what I see there and usually go home and make it myself.

I'm working on another vintage kitchen tool project today. I will be teaching a repurposing class at our local library and I'm preparing a few projects. This one began with a rusty old cheese slicer I was given by a local antique store owner. 

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. 

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. 

Using my Silhouette machine I made stencils using a special stencil vinyl. I am still learning all the ins and outs of the vinyl cutting machine so lining up all the words in different fonts and sizes was certainly a challenge. The sign was painted in Raw Silk by Fusion Mineral Paint and…

Today I'm making easy DIY drink coasters with egg designs for the Easter holiday.
