KitKat candy sleigh
Use as stocking stuffers, gift toppers, tree ornaments, or treats for neighbours and friends – these inexpensive KitKat Candy sleighs are easy, adorable, and a sweet treat for anyone. The girls and I hit the Dollarama the other day to get a few Christmas supplies… ornaments to paint, fairy lights, some simple garland and (of course) candy. Does anyone go to the Dollar store and not buy candy? Weirdos. This time, there was a method to my sugar frenzy – I
Simple pinecone ornaments
Simple pinecone ornaments – don’t buy new when all you need is a slight update to the old! Last weekend I put up the main Christmas tree in the house – my beautiful 9′ Hayden Pine that I bought myself as a Christmas gift last year. He is so beautiful all on his own, but you know I change up my Christmas tree ornaments and colours each year. I mean, what kind of a blogger would I be if I

A couple of orders to make furniture, but the majority of my business of late has been in painting existing furniture. I don’t mind, I LOVE painting, and a good before and
Using high heat paint to restore a fire pit
Has your bbq, wood stove, radiator or fireplace seen better days? Today I’m testing out using high heat paint to restore a fire pit. Have you tried high heat paint? It’s generally used to repaint an aging barbecue, clean up fire pits, wood burning stoves, radiators, or paint the inside of a wood burning fireplace. The product specs on the High Heat Enamel from Rust-Oleum also indicates that you can use it on engines – but that’s going to depend
Dining table and chairs makeover
I have a new-ish refinishing “finish” for you to try… like this mennonite dining table and chairs makeover that went completely MATTE! Happy weekend! So something happened when I finished cabinet-making school… Suddenly I received a rush of orders for refinishing projects? Normally I’d say no, and focus on building projects, but a girl’s gotta eat right? On top of that Michelle was my “big sister” in Kappa Alpha Theta – and you don’t say no to your big sister.
