Maybe it’s the caffeine, but I’m pretty revved up about all the possibilities of upcycling coffee sacks. There’s no mention of upcycling or repurposing coffee sacks on my to do list–and of course I’ll have to …

Welcome, fellow kids!

Hi, I'm Em!
Let's hang out together while I procrastinate and DIY my way though home dec, gardening, and home improvement projects, OR..share a few thoughts on the topic du jour.

The nest is empty, but I live with
Mr. D & D and two-and-a-half spoiled dogs in a house filled with visiting kiddos, lots of love, occasional bickering, and a little bit of...dust and dog hair.

KNOCK KNOCK

WHO'S THERE?

Me, but not too often!
