My blog is about my efforts in renewing my environment in my home. I do this through various crafts, furniture builds, refinishes, and arrangements. I have a long never ending list of DIY projects to keep myself occupied!

It's Friday, but I'm off work today! This is the first "vacation" day I've had in 2013. And it's not really a vacation day because I'm pretty much just making up time off from all the extra hours I worked earlier this week going to Chicago for some training. But it's GLORIOUS! Nothing to do today...What's Up With Me Lately?

Maybe you've noticed, I haven't been blogging as much as I used to. Time, you know? It's just so stinkin' limited around here. Mostly because I work 3 jobs - 1 full time, 1 part time, & 1 bookbinding business & I have a medical resident-husband (meaning, I have a 4th job as homemaker too). ...Testimonials For My Handbound Books

It had been a while since I last checked my reviews on Etsy. For some reason I'm always scared to look... you know, what if one of my packages was destroyed by the USPS and the receiver got it all mangled & took it out on my review sheet? I know, this is probably an unreasonable fear, but still, I hold my...Open Spaces, Letting it be, What I'm Learning About Waiting

Usually, when I move to a new home (which has happened a LOT of times in the past 9 years since I graduated from college) I want to get everything unpacked, put away, & up on the walls within the first 24 hours of being there. I'm a JOY to move with.......I always want to fix things. I've never owned a home,...

I'm so glad that April is almost over! The weather has been not fun (it SNOWED yesterday) and I haven't gotten to see my husband much (dang NICU!) Plus, I must admit I'm getting tired of cleaning every day. I don't know if the method I chose this year for spring cleaning- deep cleaning one room per week...Crocheted Kitchen Scrubbies

I don't know about you, but I wash all of my pots & pans, knives, and wine glasses by hand. I have a dishwasher, but I find it's best to wash these specific things by hand. So I'm doing dishes unusually about twice a day. I always used to use a sponge to do this, but I was having to replace it all the...April Series: Spring Cleaning- Living Room

After cleaning the big, purge-intensive master bedroom last week, I wanted something a little easier this week. So I'm going with the bathrooms.Bathrooms, to me, are not super fun to clean, but they aren't super hard. I normally clean each of my two bathrooms every other week, one then the other. Back...
