PVC Pipe Covers

So many times I've thought a PVC pipe frame would work for some display, but haven't wanted the pipe look. This photo shows how it might work if it were covered. Way to go! From Sweet Designs

LOOKS from Style Me Pretty

I found some looks that are similar to some earlier looks that I saved, and wanted to save these too. The photos in this post come from one of my favorite wedding sites - Style Me Pretty

I have seen bales for seating and have saved the look of some (see bales in SEARCH MY STUFF ROOM), but this is a little bit different in that it isn't for seating, it's the back drop. I really like this look for some occasions.
Bales Backdrop HERE





I've saved the look of ribbon on chairs before - here, but found this one that I like too. It is so creamy and pastel ... kinda dreamy don't you think?
These chairs come from HERE, as do the table scapes.





The table runner is similar to the look I saved here. I do love the soft colors and wonderful texture these looks have.

Frosting Colors

This looks like a great thing to keep in the cake makin' tool box. Found at Anna and Blue Paperie

A Great Pallet Platform ....




A Great Bouquet ... Beautiful ....



A Great Table Decor Arrangement ... love the wood ....



A Great Big Heart ... behind it, cut it, thru it ... photo op. I do wonder what it would look like if it were at a bit of an angle???



A Great Balloon Backdrop ... Photo Op ....

A True Chalk Board

Design Sponge shares these Chalk Tablets. Though the idea of using bleachers as the board is quite clever and exciting to many, I just love the idea of a small piece of wood with a chalk pencil attached to it. It looks like it's easy enough to make, and for much cheaper than the twenty dollars each. Old pallets are being used everywhere, how about here?!?!?!

It could make a very cute favor!!!

Come On In!

The Look outside was so lovely I thought I'd bring some of that lovely inside.

ENJOYING
THE LOOK,
THE NEW LIFE,
THE COLORS,
THE FEEL,
THE PEACE,
THE JOY...
SPRING!

Ruffled Book Covers

I think these are very cute scripture covers, notebook, binder, or planner covers, and maybe even school book covers. They look easy enough for many different kinds of books.
This fun idea was found at Love of Family & Home (and sold at an Etsy shop - Gathered & Sown), but sure looks like one could sew up their own quite easily if they had the time and desire.

Beautiful Spring

There isn't a Look I'm saving from one of my favorite online sights - I just didn't see anything to save, but, I walk out my front door and find A LOOK I LOVE.
This is my Weeping Cherry Tree. It is filled with blossoms ... and bees! Not only do we see blossoms, but we hear those bees that are loving that tree right now. Surely they are singing Oh Happy Day!



The daffodils in the background are great to see too. I love the early blossoms of spring time...
which leads me to another tree out our front door...

This Flowering Almond. It is not yet in full bloom, but aren't the blossoms beautiful!?!?!? They are another LOOK I LOVE!



Now, if I can just get my lawn fertilized and cut and edged and the rest of the yard to look as lovely.

Rustic Beauty

To me, this board from Utterly Engaged could easily be titled "Rustic Beauty". I like it all, though I would have probably angled the tag instead of leaving it horizontal...just my preference..., but everything else is quite lovely to me.

Sweet Memory of Pistachio Pudding

My heart smiled when I saw this post about Pistachio Pudding Salad (only they see it as a dessert).
My Grandmother used to make this (only I don't recall the mandarins in it) with the marshmallows.
I've seen it before, but it's been a long time ago. Memories can be so sweet! I love my Grandmother ... and miss her!

Bunny Britches

Cute Idea! Need a last minute Easter basket? Create one using a bag you have, or make your own bag if you don't have one.

The DIY for these britches comes from Like a Pretty Petunia

Easter Ham in Crock Pot

Whether I use this recipe or not, I want to remember that I can cook a ham in the crock pot. Great idea because one of my ovens is not working, and only one oven is not enough sometimes.

You've Been Egged!

Fun Idea!
I don't go for the toilet paper on the trees, the Oreos on the cars - they leave a mess that has to be cleaned..., but this would be so fun for the children to fill a basket as they gather the new found eggs from their yard.

Egg Favors

I think these little packages are a cute favor idea...whatever is inside it. I like the open egg with krinkle paper or grass overflowing into the bag. FUN!

Deep Cleaning Continues

I started my deep cleaning the first week of January and really didn't get very far into it until I had completely stopped and moved on to something else.

My mother-in-law passed away and we began to clean out their home (the homestead), since my father-in-law had passed away about 6 months earlier.
That was a big project and continues to be ... still not done.

That also means that we inherited a few items that we needed to find a place for in our home. So ... things began to shift.

My stuff room is still the first room to tackle in my home, but it really has been taking a long time, because I keep stuffing it with boxes and things from the homestead. There came a point where I was working more in my stuff room than at the homestead so I did get a few things done here. I'll share a bit.

One of my favorite things ... new to my stuff room ... is the little butter cream cupboard that belonged to grandma (MIL's mother) and became ours. Once a pantry, it now houses cards and papers and beads and wire and some history.



The color isn't true in this photo, but it seems that this pinterest post shows the more true color of the unit.  Great color name!

Benjamin Moore Old World Romance

On top sits ribbon and jewelry to the side. (I do need to go through and organize the boxes of ribbon still - another day.)



On the wall next to it are some cute wall hooks with other jewelry on it.



Before Photos really are embarrassing, and the After Photos in this post are only some better.

It's still a stuffed room ... but that is what it's for so I'm okay with that. I'm so happy to have it!



There are still plenty of boxes and piles of things to go through and organize - like those things seen in the lower right side of the last photo, so the other parts of the room are not yet shown. Maybe I'll spare you those for a very long time ... maybe until I get all of my scrap booking up to date ... and that could be a very long time if I'm still intent on deep cleaning my whole house ... and I am.

It's spring time and the yard is calling me ... and the garage ... so, I'll do a little more in the stuff room and then choose another place to attack ... while at the same time trying to finish the homestead place too.


Lastly ... it's been fun to see the precious things that belonged to our loving parents, and it has consumed much of our time, and there are many projects on the To Do List to help us keep some of those precious things (photos, histories, etc.) close at hand and close to our hearts.



Soooo Much To Do!
I'm gonna get up and goin' again!
Just stopped for a quick post ... okay, not so quick post ... but it was fun!

Egg Coloring Tool

This is a great idea!
I have seen so many eggs roll off of those egg holders that come with the coloring.
I have seen so many sad little faces when that happens.
This could solve that problem nicely. I suppose it could still be tricky getting them out of that whisk though. Adult supervision is not all it's cracked up to be. (Ha Ha, no pun was intended.)



This is another great idea I found on Spiritually Speaking.
