Terracotta pots aren’t just for planting in! I use for decorating, to put gifts in (lip balm, garden soap, hand balm) scattering around the garden for decorating, and creating some great Terracotta crafts. Anytime I’m out junking, I look for Terracotta pots and I have amassed quite a few of them. While at a local…
Repurposed Garden Tote
We have had unseasonably warm weather for the last few days. In fact, it is 73 degrees today, about 20 degrees above normal. I won’t get fooled into sneaking a few spring seeds into the ground, but it is a perfect day to complete a few projects that have been on my to do list. …
Bath Salts Christmas Ornaments
I was in Michael’s Craft Store a few days ago and saw these clear Christmas ornaments. I am going to a Christmas craft show this weekend, and needed some “quick and easy” additions to the other products I am taking. They were perfect for creating some Bath Salts Christmas Ornaments, and would make great stocking stuffers,…
Christmas Herbs: Rosemary
When I think of Christmas herbs, rosemary doesn’t usually come to mind. Frankincense and myrrh are known by most people as the rare and expensive herbs brought to the Christ child after his birth. But, after reading an article about Rosemary and it’s significance at Christmas I was surprised to find that Rosemary, or the…
Cover Crops: Turn a Brown Garden Green
My garden is now finished, and as a gardener, I’m still looking for reasons to be out in it. The weather is mild, the garlic still needs to be planted, and the strawberry and asparagus beds are yet to be cleaned out. Instead of letting the garden lay idle all winter, open to weeds and…

Thanksgiving Chicken Coop
Finally! Cooler weather, and I’m beginning to get in the Holiday spirit! Leaves are turning and dropping to the ground, and after moving the chicken coop to the garden area this morning I decided it was due for new chicken coop décor. I had started painting it a few weeks ago, finished it today, and now, a makeover for the Thanksgiving holiday….
How to Grow a Crape Myrtle Tree
For years, I’ve wanted to plant a crape myrtle tree at the corner of my house to create some color in my front yard. Crape Myrtle trees are a staple of the Southern garden, because, not only are they a are drought resistant tree, they love the sunshine and will grow in almost any type of soil. …
Color Our World Orange
Orange is a predominant color in the fall. I’ll have to admit I’m not a fan of orange, but you will be hard pressed to get through the season without it. Orange mums, pumpkins, and Halloween decorations are all around us. I did manage to work it into my garden when I participated in a…

I like to stencil, and when I saw these great Halloween themed pillows, I knew I wanted one from Paint a Pillow”. There were so many to choose from including home décor and holiday themed pillows. When I received my pillow, I loved how they had everything neatly packaged in one attractive box. When you…
