Primitive Craft Days
I hope everyone had a great Fourth of July. This year is half over already, and I don’t know about you, but after the 4th of July, it just seems like summer is almost over, when really it’s just beginning!! I’ve been on a crafting streak that past few weeks and so I just wanted…

Patriotic Primitive Bowl Fillers
Sorry I haven’t been posting much lately. I’ve had a busy few weeks. We needed to have all the sewer lines replaced in our basement due to failure of pressure testing done by our Boro. Out of 600 homes, only 170 passed. Our home was built around 1959, so it had all terra cotta pipe.…
Social Rules to Live By
I thought these were good things to remember. SOME SOCIAL RULES THAT MAY HELP YOU: 1. Don’t call someone more than twice continuously. If they don’t pick up your call, presume they have something important to attend to; 2. Return money that you have borrowed even before the person that borrowed you remember or ask…
Spring Cleaning and Decorating!
It is a beautiful sunny day here in Western PA and after a few dreary days, it got me in the mood for some Spring cleaning and decorating! If you have been following me for any length of time, you know I enjoy seasonal/holiday decorating. I change things up quite often and today it was…

Goodwill Hutch Makeover
It’s been a while since I found anything at Goodwill that I wanted to makeover and the other day I found this sweet little hutch. It’s only 4 feet tall, would have made a nice little piece for a play house, but I had other ideas for her. I paid $19.99 for it. We had…

How to Make a Miniature Book
Years ago, I used some brown paper bags and covered an old trunk, when the project was finished, it looked like old leather. The other day a package came and it was packed with the same brown packing paper I had used on the trunk, so I was trying to think what else I could…

Primitive Heart Bowl Fillers
Hello everyone, it’s been a little while since I’ve made a post. I’ve been busy caring for my mom and just haven’t had the time to sit down and write one, let alone do any crafting. However, today I had some time to do this quick primitive heart bowl filler. I’m using it that way,…

How to Make a Two-Tier Tray
I have been wanting a two-tiered tray for some time now. I don’t have an island in my kitchen so only a two-tier will fit under my cabinets. Maybe you are in the same situation? Every time I go online to look, and I find one that I really like, the price is just ridiculous!…

Instant Pot Apple Pie Filling
We were blessed last week by a visit from two of our dear friends, we hadn’t seen them since last July. We had a lot of catching up to do and we really enjoyed our conversation and laughter! They never come empty handed either and we were given a bag of apples from their apple…

Bread Machine Cinnamon Rolls
One of my favorite things to make are cinnamon rolls and having a bread machine makes it even that much easier! My mom and grandma both made good cinnamon rolls, but even my mom admits this recipe beats hers hands down! I’m sure you could make it without a bread machine, by mixing with a…
