February 13, 2019

I love doing projects like […]

Make A Glamorous Mrs. Claus From A Soda Can

December 11, 2018

Close up of Mrs. Claus

When I made Santa Claus using a soda can I kept thinking he is missing something.  Then it dawned on me, besides glasses he needs Mrs. Claus.  That is when I decided to make Mrs. Claus from a soda can for my Thrifty Chicks project. This month’s theme is Christmas Ornaments.  I love it, don’t […]

Wooden bead garland with spools on plate

Have you ever thought of a great idea only to forget what it is?  That is what happened for this month’s Thrifty Chicks project.  The item we are challenged to repurpose is spools.  So I still can’t think of the idea and if I do I will let you know.  In the meantime I decided […]

How Yardsticks Gave New Life To A Stool

July 11, 2018

Yardstick stool in sunroom

I have this little stool that I have been thinking about.  My thought was to macramé a new seat.  But that idea really doesn’t appeal to me.  And then I had a better idea.   This month’s subject for our Thrifty Chicks Challenge is yardsticks or rulers.  That is how yardsticks gave new life to a […]

Welcome Friends!

Hi I’m Debra and I think I’ve finally figured out what I want to do when I grow up! This is quite an accomplishment since I’m not a teenager! From the time I was a little girl, I drew, painted, sewed and built furniture for my precious dolls, and I had great plans to be a commercial artist. I could get totally lost in the magic of creating.
