  • I love going on Good Things Utah because it challenges me to think outside the box.  I’ve been trying to come up with a fun, different table centerpiece that is still simple and not too busy.  Then, I saw a gorgeous lace doily table runner and thought that I could recreate a similar look and…

  • I have been trying to find an antique jewelry tray for in our bathroom for a while.  I haven’t been able to find one of these antique beauties that I feel like I can afford.  Darn budgets! The other day I realized that I could make my own – and personalize it!  It was really…

  • Maybe it’s not having a patio in the backyard or the fact that our patio table rotted over the winter and we “donated” it to the neighborhood clean up instead of bringing it to the house when we moved. Or the fact that the only way I can leisurely enjoy an evening meal out doors…

  • I’ve been waiting for today’s Good Things Utah segment for a few months.  Ever since the first time I saw the prototypes for the new See Me Sew fabric bags I’ve been anxiously awaiting their arrival.  These darling kits have been shipping for the last couple of weeks and are waiting to find their way…

  • The Follow Your Heart collection designed by Rhonna Farrer for My Mind’s Eye is so soft and beautifully romantic that all the beautiful embellishments are like jewelry for your scrapbook pages and projects.  I guess that’s why when I saw this cute, plain jewelry box on clearance at Target I thought of Follow Your Heart.…

  • While the My Mind’s Eye 6×6 paper pads ARE perfect cards (yeah), they are also the perfect for cone wreaths. Normally when you make a cone wreath, you cut down 12 x 12 papers or old music paper to 6×6. But, with just TWO 6×6 pads, some of our gorgeous trims and brads with some…

  • It’s here – the time of year where I waver between having a comfortable “I’m almost done” feeling and a feeling of panic when I realize that even though I thought I was almost done, I have realized all the things I have forgotten.  I am blessed in so many ways, one of which is…
