Upcycle what you have to enjoy in new ways! I am using my broken screen door guard as a bracket in my bedroom to hold a birdcage planter and outside on my back patio to hold a small set of windchimes!

light hydrangea flowers
Garden: Limelight Hydrangea For Northern ClimatesThis is a limelight hydrangea. In the earlier part of the summer, it is a lime green and then turns to a pink as it gets closer to fall. It is very easy to care for and always blooms for zone 5 where most hydrangeas do not.

Two ScarecrowsThis is kind of a joke, but not really. I had these pictures, sent to me after the death of my mother. This one was of my dad, after putting together a scare crow, at the beginning of decorations for an autumn harvest party at their church. By the way, dad is on the left.

Desk Drawer Organizer
Use Cutlery Tray for Desk Drawer OrganizerEver wondered what other uses cutlery trays have? I cheaply sourced one at a garage sale recently with an extra sliding top tray which lifts off. I ended up using it to store/organize stationary bits and pieces in a drawer in our computer room.

Chloe and Her Friend Gambler (Horse)Last year my husband lost his job due to the downward spiral of the economy and we had to move in with my sister-in-law who had a large ranch and graciously took us in. My 6 year old daughter Chloe developed a very close touching relationship with "her horse" Gambler.

Framed dried fern frond.
Framed Dried FernI bought this old frame at a garage sale several years ago for $1 and then I pressed a fern between several pages of newspaper and weighted it with books. When completely dry, I mounted it with sewing thread onto some mat board and inserted in frame.

crocheted flag
America Freedom FlagThis is an America Freedom curtain. It was crocheted in 7 panels. Each of the red panels has a word or phrase embedded in it. I used filet crochet to do this. Since it is to go in my husband's tractor trailer, I put his CB handle in the middle panel.

maroon t-shirt hanging on hanger on door
Resizing a Large T-ShirtMy son had a large tee shirt he no longer wanted. I wanted to wear the shirt, but it was way too big for me so I shortened the hem then rolled up the sleeves and did a fold over of about 1 1/2 inches on the shoulder seam.
