2015 Race Recap – Red, White & Blues 10K
I have taken a step back on running this summer and have been concentrating instead on getting in at least 10,000 steps a day according to my fitbit. However, I signed up for my 2nd half marathon. Eek! My goal when I started running was to finish a half marathon. I’m ecstatic that I enjoyed …
DIY Hypertufa Mushrooms
I remember years and years ago watching Martha Stewart make hypertufa on TV. I loved the idea & knew one day I’d have to try it myself. And, I have. A number of times. My preferred masterpieces are mushrooms, but the possibilities are endless as to what you could create. The process of making hypertufa …
No Sew Star Bunting
To go along with the Freedom Canvas I recently made and our patriotic themed mantel, I created a no sew bunting. It was so simple to make. A little fabric, hot glue, red paint, and twine turned into new decor for summer.
