Arizona Highway Photographs- Spring 2023
Hi everyone! It’s been a while since I posted any photographs on this blog. I decided not to post for several reasons, but I feel comfortable to post them again. I have many photographs I never posted from Spring 2023. During that season, there were so many wild flowers and blooms due to the healthy rainfall during the winter. This spring will probably have a lot of wild flowers and blooms as well. Still, I have so many photographs from last year I decided to start posting them now before I start to post photographs I took this year!

Christmas Tree Farm Wood DIY Sign- The Finished Sign
Hi everyone! Well, it’s almost Christmas and I’ve been pretty busy. Even though I’ve been busy, I was able to finish the sign! As of this publishing of this post, it is currently hanging up in my house as part of my Christmas decor. Since it is in use, I decided to take a photograph of the sign hanging on the wall.

Rain Drops on Poinsettias Photographs
Hi everyone! Earlier this month, I went shopping at Walmart. There was a rain storm in the area, so everything was wet and damp. I wanted to go to the gardening center to see if they had some plant products I needed. I didn’t find the products, but I did find a lot of poinsettias that has rain drops on them. They looked very pretty, so I decided to take photos of the leaves. I never like to post photographs I take of flowers of at Walmart or other areas, but I want to change that. Since these photographs were taken on my cell phone (An iPhone) the coloring may…

Christmas Tree Farm Wood DIY Sign- Ruff Background Paint and Second Thoughts About Color Schemes
Hi everyone! I made some progress painting the Christmas Tree Farm sign. After my second thoughts staining the edge of the sign, I decided to proceed forward in painting the sign. I wanted the stain to be a red tone and the background of the sign dark green. From there, I would paint the sign’s wording and other decorations on it. Since the stain was more purple berry colored than red, I didn’t know if the green background would clash with the stain color. Even though I was worried, I decided to proceed forward in painting the background.

Wood DIY Star Ornaments and The Success and Struggles to Paint Them Gold Like Dior Charms
Hi everyone! Last year, I decided to buy unfinished wood star ornaments. I had an idea to make them look like star charms that come with purchases made from the luxury fashion house Dior. I saw people online hand their star charms on their Christmas trees, which I liked a lot. Stars are a favorite shape and design, so having a tree full of them caught my eye. The only problem is the people online seem to shop at Dior far more than I do because they had many stars to hang on their tree! In order to have star charms to hang on my tree, but not go into…

Christmas Tree Farm Wood DIY Sign- Staining the Edge & Second Thoughts On the Stain Color
Hi everyone! Last year, I purchased a DIY Christmas Tree Farm wood sign from Michael’s Crafts. At that time, signs advertising Christmas trees meant something special to me. (And no, it doesn’t have to do with Taylor Swift’s song!) I saw the sign multiple times when I would shop at Michael’s. I really liked it more than other finished signs, so I decided to purchase it and decorate it myself. Even though I started working on it last year, I finished it this year. I wanted to talk in blog posts about the process I went through to decorate the sign and the thoughts I had a long the way!

Jane Austen at Home by Riley Blake Designs Sense and Sensibility Barton Cottage Quilt Kit
Hi everyone! Over a week ago, I published multiple posts about the Jane Austen at Home quilt kits I own. These kits are from Riley Blake Designs and are mostly inspired by fabric used in a coverlet Jane Austen and two of her family members created. Currently, I own all the kits except one, the Pride and Prejudice kit. Even though I mentioned this in previous posts, I have no current plans to make the kits. Despite this, I am very happy to own them and enjoy the place the hold in my fabric and sewing collection. The kit I will talk about in this post is the Sense and…

Jane Austen at Home by Riley Blake Designs Pillow Cover Kit
Hi everyone! Today, I’m continuing a series of posts about the Jane Austen at Home by Riley Blake Designs kits I own. I don’t own all the kits, but I own most of them. In a previous post, I talked about the Coverlet Kit I own. I also talked about all the kits I own in the collection in a post here. For this post, I will be talking about the Pillow Cover Kit I own. I purchased this kit in order to make a throw pillow cover to go alongside the coverlet. The pillow cover kit is not exactly the same as the coverlet, but it is inspired by…

Jane Austen at Home by Riley Blake Designs Coverlet Quilt Kit
Hi everyone! In September, I published a post about the Jane Austen at Home Collection by Riley Blake Designs. Even though I showed off all the things I own from the collection in that post, I still wanted to write more detailed posts about each quilt kit I own. I planned on doing this earlier this month, but things didn’t work out like I planned. Instead, I’m publishing the posts now! The first kit I wanted to talk about in more detail is the Coverlet Quilt Kit. This kit creates something called a coverlet. (I’m still going to address this kit as a quilt kit for the rest of this…

Tinyspool & Co. Cottagecore Jelly Roll Fabric Pack
Hi everyone! Last week, I talked about the Fall Harvest jelly roll fabric pack by Tinyspool & Co. I also mentioned it is not the only jelly roll fabric pack I purchased by the company. I also purchased a jelly roll fabric pack in the Cottagecore color way. I found the Cottagecore jelly roll on Amazon before I saw the Fall Harvest pack. I was really surprised there was a Cottagecore inspired jelly roll, or any quilt fabric pack in the first place. Normally, the fabric designs I find that are Cottagecore inspired are in colors, styles, and patterns I don’t really like. The TinySpool & Co. jelly roll had…
