A New Year

This post may contain affiliate links.

Happy New Year!  The holidays are over, the decorations have been packed away until next year, and, as usual, here are the things I won't do: 

share the top posts from last year, 

choose a 'word' for the year, 

or make a resolution.  

As a matter of fact, this will be my shortest 'New Year Post ' ever.  Why?  Because I've already shared my:

'not so perfect' house (that's been sold), 

Vintage, Fill Your Home With Things You Love' Style, 

and, of course, last year's 

Rambling Post - Looking Forward.


So, this year I will carry-on with what I've already been doing:

Sharing My Love of DIY/Recycling/Upcycling.  If you've been visiting the Cottage for a while, you know this is my passion.  Just remember one important thing:

Look Beyond the Dirt and Damage.  Wonderful surprises await underneath!

Eating Healthier.  We eat little to no processed food and we literally shop the outer perimeter of the grocery store...fresh produce, dairy, you get the idea.  We even bake our own bread and bagels.  Our bread machine is a workhorse and only uses about 5 ingredients. If you haven't looked at the ingredient list lately on your bread wrapper, you should (Hint: There are more than 5 ingredients).  The best part about baking our own?  We don't gain weight from eating it!  Think about that....


Crafts and Other Projects.  Yes, I share crafts, projects, and even the occasional recipe because that's what life is like around here.  

I have a list of things to be posted this year so I hope you'll be back to see all of them.  
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for being a part of this blog.  Your visits and comments make all the difference.  Happy New Year and let me leave you with this quote:


Here's a toast to magic, dreams, kisses, art, and surprises!  
Cheers!

Break Out Those Wine Corks!

-

You've been self-isolating, drinking some wine, and saving the corks for a project.  But, before you think I'm accusing you of drinking too much, we both know that every wine-drinker has a stash of corks somewhere in their house.  It's time to dig them out and finally DO something with them.   Welcome back to 10 on the 10th , a group of bloggers sharing ideas and inspiration for less than $10.  This month we're sharing Tips While Social Distancing and we've got some great ideas for you.  Let's get started..... First, find those corks.  They're probably hiding in drawers or a cabinet...maybe in a box or bag.  You can find them. I have faith in you!  My first project is an easy one.  All you need is a hot glue gun, a can, and your corks.  This jade plant has been living in an aluminum can ever since I cut it away from the original plant.  It's doing quite well, but, let's face it, this container is not very pretty.   I chose my corks from

Wine Cork Wreath

Just a note...I promised to share the wreath and picture in a previous post.  Here they are: Now, if you're anything like me, you've been saving wine corks for forever because there is a fabulous project that you will just HAVE to make with them.  The problem is, you haven't found it yet! Have no fear, your project is here! To get started, you will need lots of these: How many, you ask?  I estimate that I used between 200 and 250 corks.  You will also need a straw wreath, like this: Don't forget to remove the plastic! This next step is extremely important! Wrap some wire around the wreath and make a loop for hanging.  There is nothing worse than getting your wreath all done and then say to yourself, "Hmmm, how the heck do I hang this thing!?! Now you're ready to get started.  Be sure to cover your work surface to protect it.  I used a lovely old vinyl tablecloth that I had laying around.  You know the one - you

How To Decoupage Dresser Drawers - With Napkins!

-
Image
Welcome back!  Last week you saw a garage sale dresser transformed with paint and decoupaged napkins.  If you missed it, click here .  Today I have a little tutorial showing how it was done.  Let's get started, shall we? The drawers were sanded down to bare wood and the edges were painted black to match the rest of the dresser.  The napkins were found at the Dollar Store. Notice they are 2-ply napkins?  You only need one, so separate those layers! Iron the one-layer.  It helps when you are ready to lay it down on the wet decoupage medium.   Since the napkins were not wide enough to cover the entire drawer, I was going to have to piece them together.  These napkins also had a very definite pattern that was going to need matching, so it was time for some measuring.  I found the middle of the drawer and matched it to the middle of the napkin.  Then I marked the edges of the napkin on the edge of the drawer with chalk.  See the white (chalk) dot? There are actually

No More Polycrylic for My Tables!

Behold, my newly refinished table - once again!  Yes, this is the second time this little beauty has been refinished. The table was originally refinished in 2013.  I carefully sanded, stained, and sealed it with polycrylic.  Everyone in blogland was singing the praises of polycrylic, so I thought I'd give it a try.  It went on great, clean-up was easy, and it dried quickly.   Win-Win, right?  WRONG!! After about a year and a half, I started noticing some wear on the edges of the table.  You know, the spot where people rest their arms?  As time went on, these spots actually started to feel a bit sticky and you could see them: It was really difficult to get a picture of them, but, if you look carefully where the arrows are pointing, you'll see dull spots in the finish.  We lived with it for a while, then I told my husband, "As soon as the weather gets nice, this table has a date with my sander!" Time for my full disclosure.  Normally, I sand things d
