I’m so excited to be collaborating with WORX, a company specializing in innovative yard and DIY tools. Today, I’m sharing our thoughts – both mine and Mr Fix’s – specifically on the WORX Cordless 2 in 1 Saw (a Reciprocating and Jigsaw rolled into one y’all!). It’s a compact and powerful tool that I think both…

10 Fun + Fresh Ways To Display Your Photos
Have you ever noticed just how many photos you take and forget about? It seems that with digital photography, whether it is your phone or a regular camera, we are now storing hundreds, maybe thousands, of photos that we will never ever see again after they’ve been taken. I, for one, have several files of…
12 Fresh and Modern Ways To Decorate Pumpkins
Of all the seasonal produce that are associated with fall, pumpkins are most definitely the stars of harvest decor. Oh yes, gourds of other names make the occasional appearance in tablescapes and vignettes around the home, but pumpkins steal the show. Whether on display on the front porch – whole or carved – or in…
DIY Scandi-Inspired Blossom Branch
I’ve always been a fan of Scandinavian decor and design. Much of what I love about it is its spare and minimal aesthetic and approach to style. Whether it is modern or rustic, it is always tasteful and nearly always fits into most people’s home decor (just ask the founders of IKEA 🙂 ). So…
Creative Weekend Links
Guess who’s back? ‘Chippy’ our friendly neighbourhood chipmunk (or at least I like to think it’s the same little guy who comes ’round each summer). Â He just can’t get enough of our backyard. He’s always eating the sunflower seeds that fall from our bird feeders. He loves burying his food in various spots around the…

Creative Weekend Links
The other day, my husband and I went strolling around the marina. It was the first time we visited this beautiful area since last summer. The weather was just perfect: warm and sunny with a strong breeze to keep us cool. Surprisingly, not many boaters were out. Just rows upon rows of docked boats. Made…
Friday Faves: 20 DIY Mini Painted Pots
After painting and marbling a trio of mini pots for my new cacti, I’ve been a little obsessed with searching out what others have done to freshen up their homes with mini pots.  And, let me say, there are plenty of inspiring and creative projects out there.  I think I know why:  Applying a bit of colour…
Creative Weekend Links
Have you ever spent the entire weekend in your pajamas? Yep, me too. Sometimes I think the most creative times can be when we are schlepping around the house, coffee in hand, wearing fuzzy slippers, hair up, and draped in our pj’s. Â Ah, the life! If I could, I’d go to work this way. Perhaps…

Happy Weekend, everyone! Â If you are anything like me, then this beautiful weather has you increasingly distracted from completing household chores by all the home crafts and DIY’s that you’d rather be doing. It really is amazing what a few more degrees can do to spark the creative juices – or ice cold coolers, if…
DIY Yarn Embellished Cards
I never did a lot of paper crafts as a kid. Oh sure, there was the occasional project in elementary school for occasions like Mother’s Day or during the holidays, but never much beyond that. Over the years I’ve wanted to try my hand at paper crafts, but I’ve not had much to inspire me. That is, until…
Yarn-Wrapped Bracelet
If you love yarn – or at least are inspired by its wider application beyond knitwear or crochet – then you probably wonder what you can do with what’s leftover after a craft project is done. I certainly know I do at times. I always have bits and pieces of yarn from previous projects stashed away in the…
