I love printables and especially these that my friend Rebecca, a graphic designer did for me. She creates all of my soap and bath and body labels, and I’m always happy with her creations. I asked her to make these four butterfly printable pages that can be printed out and kept in a notebook. They…
Butterfly Gardens
As I sit here writing this post on a Friday morning, it’s snowing in North Georgia. Monday, as I left work it was 70 degrees. Don’t be fooled by the ground hog’s prediction, we still have some cold weather to come. I have several projects that I want to do including completing my garden shed,…
Plant a Pizza Garden
Getting kids to eat their veggies is not always easy. By getting them involved in the growing, caring for, and reaping of the benefits of their work, you may cultivate a life long love of gardening. Every kid knows what a pizza is, and you would be hard pressed to find one who doesn’t like…
Calendula Lotion Bars
Winter weather is tough on my skin. The humidity drops outside and I’m indoors more using dry heat. If you are like me, you tend to spend longer in hot showers. Remember, I’m a southern girl, and anything less than 60 degrees is COLD, lol. I help combat that by making lotion bars. But not…
Lemon Balm
It’s January, so I would imagine you are wondering why I’m writing about mosquitos. I’m already dreading them. We have had a mild winter so far, and rain, rain, rain. Rain is forecast AGAIN this weekend and the high is 68. We need a good cold snap to kill them. Mosquitos are terrible in my…
How to Force Paperwhite Narcissus Bulbs for Winter Blooms
I was at my local Tractor Supply a few days before Christmas buying bird seed, and lye for my soapmaking class. Of course, I had also picked up a garden magazine, and was dreaming of spring. Seed packets aren’t out yet, but I spied a Paperwhite Narcissus Bulb Kit at the end of the counter…
Winter Quotes
I love the spring and summer, and by January, I’m ready to start ordering from the seed catalogs that start filling our mailboxes. I actually received one today! But, just like our bodies, our gardens need a period of rest. So instead of bemoaning the cold weather, I’ll take this time to plan for next…
DIY Rusty Bedspring Snowman Craft
I can’t take credit for this rusty bedspring craft, but when I saw this snowman idea on Rusted Roots Blog on Instagram, I knew I wanted to give it a try. I had all the supplies here, and could whip one up easily. Unlike Christmas decor, snowmen can be left out all winter. So when…

Do you love chippy and rusty? Do you think you can’t use your flea market and thrift store treasures at Christmas? That you have to create that holiday feel with all new traditional Christmas decor? Well, this year, keep your collections out, and upcycle them to create a funky flea market holiday theme. Vintage Christmas…
Creative Concrete Planters
I purchased two concrete planters at a local shop for $20.00 each last fall. They were so heavy that when I returned home, I just dropped them at the side of my driveway. They sat there until this spring when I decided to revamp the side yard that goes the length of my driveway. Concrete planters…
