I had so much fun with this gnome DIY, I really don’t know what took me so long to make one!

Kim and Garrett are having a Christmas craft giveaway, but you have to enter this weekend (see the link at the end of this post). Continue reading

Refinish a Coffee Table – Sewing Table Idea
This is the second time in a month I get to refinish a coffee table! Years ago on a trip to the States, Hubs and I picked up a cute little coffee table that was originally a vintage sewing table.

So he’s going to indulge my idea now and since the weather is too cold to work outside, I’ll reciprocate in the Spring. Continue reading
