My 8-year-old got a Mine Craft Legos set from her aunt for Christmas and put it together herself. A couple of days ago I was up in the loft and saw it and asked her who helped her with it. She said, "No one." Later in the evening, her dad helped her with putting the... Continue Reading →
Playing around with my Game of Thrones collector's figurine. Here is the before:

Photo taken in 2011 but I love the feel of it.
Husband and I decided to put a seat cushion on the stairs landing. I did some research on Youtube and Pinterest, took notes, then went to buy the items. Bought fabric, batting, and foam at Jo-Anne's. Then went to Lowe's for the plywood. Husband trimmed the plywood to the correct measurements then we put it... Continue Reading →
