I wanted fingerless gloves, but I wanted to make them myself. In 5 minutes I was able to upcycle long socks into oh-so-cute fingerless gloves with NO SEWING! See this easy tutorial.

I love to use blinds for privacy and valances to ‘dress’ the window up. But they’re so expensive! I decided to use my grandmother’s hand-tatted lace dresser scarf for one of our windows. And a different hand-made dresser scarf for another window. Sentimental window treatments!

Recently I wrote about framing a very large mirror with wood removed from our 1880’s barn during it’s exterior renovations.
The mirror included embellishment using our Elwood barbed wire dating back to 1882. We enjoy using items from our Homestead’s past and bring them close to us in our home.

I needed a large barn wood mirror for our home, but large mirrors in that style are pretty pricy. So we purchased a large mirror at a thrift store and made our own using reclaimed wood from our beautiful 1880’s barn. I love the way it turned out!
