These are the things I do to keep me busy (ha ha, not that I'm not busy enough). When I'm not in the kitchen, I'm in the sewing room or the garage.

I was in Pete’s Emporium yesterday – a local ‘buy everything you could ever need for crafting store’. I was there, along with everyone else, to purchase supplies needed to make masks. I overheard the sales assistant say, ‘It’s like every crafter has a new challenge’. I agree, but OH! It’s so much fun!

Coffee Table Makeover

I bought this coffee table a few years ago. It was in bad shape and it was always my intention to sand it down and restain it, but time goes by and it hadn't happened.

Upholstered Headboard with Nailhead Trim Tutorial

Years ago I made my first upholstered headboard. I was fairly new to upholstery at that time so it wasn't very ambitious. I've always wanted to improve on it so earlier this year I did just that.
