Swiss Chalet Doll House made by my Grandpa

Back in the middle 1970's, my sister and I each received a dollhouse made by my grandfather. My grandfather was an excellent carpenter. I was so excited. When I was single, I ripped all the decorations off and planned to redecorate in hopes that my children would play with it. Well, that never happened as life goes by so quickly. So now I ask myself, should I keep this or sell to someone who could get use out if it. Or, keep it, redecorate it and give to grandchildren??!

Craft Beer Collage Wall Hanging

I just love the artwork on craft beer boxes. I came up with this idea to preserve the artwork in a wall hanging. I cut and measured each rectangle and made it into a collage. I went to a resale shop and found a frame. I love the idea of recycling. Thank you for looking!

Did you find my rock?

I thought it would be nice if I left a couple of rocks on the beach for someone to find.  2 rocks were left on the shore of West Beach at the Indiana National Lakeshore. Comment to let me know if you found it!

Mandala Rocks

I've really enjoyed painting these rocks as it is so relaxing. I will be selling them in a craft show at the end of October. Thank you for looking!

Pumpkin Spice Pretzels

It's that time of year! At Michaels today, I found pumpkin spice candy melts that were on sale for $1.99.  The perfect combination with pretzels!

Melt one bag of Wilton candy melts in a large bowl in the microwave. Watch carefully so it doesn't burn. After melted, add one bag of 15 ounce pretzels. Stir to coat. Spread to cool on a sheet of aluminum foil.  A perfect fall treat!

Chicago Cubs Dog Collar

 My dad was a huge Chicago Cubs fan and, knock on wood, they are doing so well this year. I made this Cubs sleeve that slips onto the collar. Let's go Cubbies!!
