Garden: LadyslippersOn my way home from visiting my son in Lake City, Michigan, we came across these ladyslippers along the road. They were all along it for about 2 blocks. I haven't seen ladyslippers since I was a child and I'm 60 now.

Refurbished Yard SwingThis is a yard swing I received from my local Freecycle. It was a rusty green with a torn seat. I covered it with purple and white striped fabric lined with a sheet of plastic left from another Freecycle deal.

Scenery: Nombre de Dios Mission in St. Augustine, FLThis is the 208 ft. high cross at the Nombre de Dios Mission in St. Augustine, Florida. It is sheathed in stainless steel panels and stands upon a granite base, and it's really beautiful to see it shining in the tropical sunlight.

Store Milk In Plastic Bag
Store Milk In Plastic BagIt's true. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure especially when it comes to cleaning. In this picture, I wrapped the plastic grocery bag handles around the handle of the milk jug, leaving enough of the handle because the bag can be slippery.

cookie on Halloween plate
Halloween Cookie PartyChildren love nothing more than to make a mess, even more so when icing and sprinkles are involved. This idea incorporates both a craft and a snack. It's also easy to transport if the party is somewhere other than your home.

Ripening TomatoesRipen homegrown tomatoes on a rubber shelf liner. We bought our house 2 years ago and the woman that lived here before me left her rubber shelf liners. I hated the stuff, but also hated to throw it away. I came up with this idea.

Dog on quilt.
Small Pet QuiltsUse scraps of material to make small tied quilts. Size depends on pet, however 3x4 feet works best for most cats and small to medium sized dogs. Use fleece for the backing and quilt batting to fill.

Use a Cemetery as a Photo Background
Use a Cemetery as a Photo BackgroundPhotography is something I want to do in the near future. This is a picture of me at a cemetery. I had a tripod so it came out right. I was thinking of the old fashioned/ vintage things, and just fell in love with the clothing.
