After doing a small clean-out at a friend's house, I ended up with lots of boxes and drawers. Once they were emptied of their contents I had 13 containers that yearned to re-purposed! My screw...

This was a fun project and I love the sounds it makes! I found the red handled mixer all by itself-it was missing its mixing bowl-and knew it would be the beginning of something neat! After I...

Dominos refigured into a desk set! Better than rotting in a landfill!

With elastic at both ends or two canal using pretty ribbon, these sleeves are so simple to make. Whenever I visit someone I make a mental note as to what colors they are using in their kitchens...

In years past I have made many gifts for our friends for the holidays! This year we are all being as "green" as possible.

Re: Fun & Unique Jewelry Displays by Gretchen

Awesome and thanks for the ideas! I have two frames that will be redone tomorrow. I bet you can figure out a way to utilize the screen door above with some "clouds" (pillow stuffing or quilting fill). Hide the wire in the clouds and hang some necklaces that would fit the mood=stars, moons, etc. Or it could just rain with chains!
Love, love, love your stuff,

Re: No project yet; looking for actual purpose

Hi there! I have one of these, too. It used to hold drill bits in a machine shop. Sue, Joyful is right; mine is about an inch deep.

Re: Berry Basket Frame

Awesome on both accounts!
Thanks for the great ideas.
I use one of my grocery carts to bring things from the car to the front door, but I could certainly use another to make a table. Maybe fill it with all the books stacked by the chair!
Great work!

Re: Salvaged Secretary

I love your treasure! I would suggest replacing the mirror with glass. Draw a template on a piece of large paper (inside of wrapping paper is a good thing) and bring it to your local hardware store (not the big Home places!). It should not be too expensive and be sure to get the little nails to put the glass in-ask the hardware dude or dudette for the right nails.
Good luck!

Re: Wind Chimes

I just visited your wonderful posts and I can't wait to get my hands on a bunch of things I have out in the shed! Wait until I find the white spray paint and I'll be on my way! Your "Thank You" note to those on this site says it all: INSPIRATION!
Thank you for your comments and suggestions and YOUR inspiration!

Re: All wood whats it !!!

I keep one under my desk and use it on my feet everyday!
(It is a wonderful dust collector, too.)
I like the idea of making it into a message board (USE FOR FEET!) but my aching feet would miss it.

Re: A window full of flowers

I am just thrilled to get feedback! Thank you all so much!
Jim, as I said in the description, it was really very simple! The Mod Podge was slathered onto the windows and onto both sides of the pictures. (I cut the pics out very carefully.) Over the next 24 hours I kept smoothing out any bubbles and let it dry well. The Mod Podge and its texture added to the depth of the paint's texture. (I used tempra paints-very simple stuff!) Finally, I sprayed the whole thing, including the frame, with a clear sealant from the craft store.
Thanks so for your kind words. They are very encouraging!
