My Bonnie Bunny punch needle kit comes with a small painted egg for the bunny to carry in his basket. To make the eggs, I start with glittery styrofoam eggs from the dollar store and paint them to create primitive, speckled eggs.

Bowl fillers for September
I realized this morning that I still had my treenware bowl filled with all kinds of summer punch needle bowl fillers. And here it is already the 11th of September! I went through my bowl fillers to find ones that are fall looking but not spooky. (I will save those to add in October.) I […]
Rusty Hand Saws
My husband was cleaning out the garage this week when he came across a box of old hand saws. He figured he must have gotten them at an auction, but he couldn’t remember what he was saving them for. Since Pinterest is my go-to place for inspiration, I did a quick search to see what […]

When I was young, my grandmother started me collecting this Manhattan glassware. I have a variety of plates and bowls in the pattern but only four goblets. At the […]
Braided Rug Progress
I was almost finished with my braided rug. It looked great on my table. Then, I put it on the floor to see how it looked… and it turned into a bowl. After watching several braided rug lacing videos, I believe I wasn’t skipping around the curves properly. So, I took most of it apart […]
Braided Rug
Our labradoodle likes to lay on the floor between our kitchen and living room. After we installed our hardwood floors, I placed a rug in this spot for her, but it just isn’t quite big enough for her. When I was cleaning out our closet recently, I found a flat flannel sheet which no longer […]
