About Me:
I've been a crafter of sewing, crochet, knitting and jewelry making for many, many years! I have my own website now to sell my handmade items. I am always looking for ways to re-purpose or recycle items and love this arena to get great ideas from. I'm a mom and grandma who has the time now to be creative and learn new things, techniques, etc...
Favorite area of home improvement:
Well, I hand painted a cement floor to look like marble tile. It worked! When people came in and saw it, they thought it was tile! I would like to do more, but it is very time consuming! Right now, I want ALL the carpet out of my house!!! Thinking about laminate wood flooring! I also love to change things with the seasons. Being able to sew, make yarn items and work with beads, I have made some pretty cool, unique items for my rooms. Next big endeavor? My craft room! I need to find old dressers, stands, etc...to refinish and use for all my craft items!

An old cast iron door, with knob removed and bottom cut so that "stakes" on the bottom could be hammered into the ground. I suggest doing this in soft spring soil if you live where summer soil gets dry and hard.
