Mom taught us how ... now we create together
Homemade Tomato Sauce really is easier than it sounds. Like anything else it takes a little time, but really your stove and freezer will do the hard work. I don’t like to eat tomatoes and neither does my husband so I’m really not sure why we planted tomatoes. We must be crazy! So I ended […]
It is amazing what can happen when you put simple items together. This Shabby Shelf was made from an antique frame and scraps of wood. Some new and some from the garage. It was time! The half bath on the main floor needed a new look. Well that being true, the real story is that […]
My daughter has been bugging me for months now about her birthday. She has wanted an Elsa cake the entire time, and has been just dying to have it. Her birthday finally came and we made the cake. I found this great idea from TwoSistersCrafting. I thought it was great, it included a link to […]

It always amazes me how as time passes and we try new recipes we have a tendency to forget some of […]
It is getting to be that time of year when I can get out my fall decor and redecorate. I love the colors, smells and the crisp evenings and mornings of Autumn. We have a few new things in our “Etsy Shop”, just small things that can help spruce up your house for the different […]
Our blog is not yet a year old, but 2013 has been a great year. We’ve learned so much and had a lot of fun. We started this blog not really knowing what to expect, but we never dreamed we’d be doing so well. Thank you to all our readers. If you are new or […]
Certain treats are tradition at our house, one being soft sugar cookies. If I don’t make them for Valentines Day, Halloween, and Christmas I am in big trouble. We love soft cookies and these are always soft unless you over cook them. Soft Sugar Cookies 2 cups sugar 1 cup butter, room temperature 3 eggs […]
