Did You Notice?!

I just changed the name of my blog. 

I wanted everything to match my Esty shop name to make things easier for me.

I am currently trying to run 3 home based business plus work full time so my hubby and I can get out of debt and just live life a little easier.

So I beg a little bit of patience from all of you while I get things geared up. 

I started here and now need to work on switching emails, face book, etc.....

But in the end I think that you will all like the changes i make.

Have a wonderful day everyone, I need to get busy plus go walk my 2 miles today!

Easy Peasy Candy Dish

While at my "other home" aka...Good Will store, I came up with a very simple idea for a home made candy dish. 

I took a small pudding cup (may a sorbet cup, not sure) and a pretty little bowl.  Use any color you like, I just prefer blue.

Add a little bit of E6000 glue and before you know it, a cute little candy dish!!

I paid less then a dollar for both items together.

Made a couple of them for my market booth.

I am off to the wonderful land of yard sales!!!  Have a wonderful day everyone!

Cute Soap Dish

Again, this is another project I saw somewhere else in blog land.

Take a small saucer and a cute little candle stick holder.  Add a little E6000 glue, which by the way I LOVE this stuff!!!    I glued the saucer to the candle holder, after sitting over night you have this....

Is this not the cutest little soap dish you have ever seen?!?!?!  I loooove it!!    So simple and so cheap!!  Both pieces cost me .25 each at a yard sale and I already had the glue!

Enjoy your day folks and I will visit with you soon!

PROJECTS!!!!!!

We just opened a booth at one of our local flea markets and I have been very swamped with making things for that.  I did have the fore sight to grab the camera and take pictures so I have almost a weeks worth of blogging!!  GO ME!!!!!

I get a lot of my ideas from trolling around other blogs.  I am also really bad at not remembering where I get my inspiration from, so if it is you, then a big Thank You!!  I will try to remember to write these things down in the future.  But lets face it folks, I am not that organized so don't hold your breath on that one.  lol

This is a small pile of items I used for one my my projects.  Wooden picture frames, skull decals, vintage bias tape, picture hangers  and paint.   What did I do with all this?  The answer is very simple.  Drumroll please!.................

Hair barrett holders!!!!!   My daughter likes them.  I am putting them in my booth to sell.

I will have more for you tomorrow!   Have a wonderful day everyone!!!

New Bathroom in the Works

For the past few days it has been kind of messy around here.

We are in the process of remodeling the bathroom.  When we took out the old shower we discovered an unknown leak under the shower and the toilet.  Requiring replacement of the half of the floor.

We aren't rushing this since we want it to look good and we both work so we can't spend all day on it like I would like to. 

Here are a few pictures of work in process:

There is still some minor things the shower needs done and then we will be pulling out the sink to put in the new one.  Along with painting and new stone floor, I think it will look wonderful!!!

Have a wonderful day!!

Zipper Bracelets

I have 100's, and I really do mean 100's of zippers at my house. 

Back in the 60's  my great grandmother owned a 5 & 10 store in Indianapolis.  When she closed the store she packed all her inventory away in the chance she might reopen one day.  After she passed away, my grandmother had all this stuff moved to her attic.  After grandma passed away it all came to my dad and his sister.  No one had a use for allot of the stuff and me being the person I am, can't say know to a freebie when offered to me!  Which by the way, my husband really hates at times, but he is very good natured about it since he knows he can't when....lol

I was playing around with things the other day and this is what I hit upon. 

Sorry, I completely spaced taking pics of the process...I just glued ribbon to the cloth part of the zipper.  Added Velcro to fasten with and you have some cute kiddie bracelets. 

My grand babies love them. 

Working towards getting a flea market booth and trying  to stock up inventory on repurposed  items for it.  I will show more when that is ready. 

So what do you think about the bracelets?  Be honest....I can take it!

Have a great day!

My Goodness!

Just realized I have been AWOL for a little while.

I have been very busy trying to build inventory for an Esty shop and booth at a flea market I want to open up.

My dream has always been to work from home.  My job is become extremely stressful and it has gotten to the point I just want to cry rather then go in any more.

I find working with adults with developmental disibilites to be very rewarding and really love what I do.  Its the company I work for that is the problem.  So not wanting to just up and abandon my clients, I figure I would find a way to work from home and maybe just work partime if that much.

I will be posting pictures later this week.  I just want everything ready to go before I do.

You folks have a great day.  I am getting off here to have a wonderful lunch with hubby.  Who, I also hardly see anymore.....but trying to fix that also!
