More Thrift Store Coziness

More Thrift Store Coziness

Sandra March 19, 2019 family history / home / home decor / little things / thrifting / UncategorizedOne Comment

It is possible to make your home so cozy that you can hardly leave it. I have come very close to staying in all day, in comfortable chairs, with projects spread out on second-hand tables, drinking hot chocolate from odd mugs and covering up with intricate, hand-made afghans that you …

You Can Buy Coziness From the Thrift Store

Sandra March 19, 2019 home / home decor / little things / other stuff / this and that / thriftingOne Comment

I do love my surroundings to be cozy.  I always have. As a child I loved to make a card-table tent, bring in my little doggy lamp, several pillows and my books and dream the night away. I have sought ways to make our family’s many homes cozy for over …

You can stop now. That is what I always say to the little people in my life who are called grandchildren. Stay four. Don’t turn five, yet. Every parent knows the feeling when a sweet and special child gets too big to do things that are cute. Naturally cute. How …

This From That

Sandra March 11, 2019 home / home decor / little things / this and that / thriftingLeave a comment

If you don’t have a wonderful husband, you should get one. My kind of hobby requires an accomplice. That accomplice has to have a sander, a saw, lots of paint brushes and a knowledge of bolts, nails, screws and tools. My accomplice has all of those things and more. Best …

Love Can Be Small

Sandra February 7, 2019 holidays / little things / this and thatLeave a comment

As I grow older, I often think more about what I do before I do it. I wonder if it will take a lot of energy or if I will be able to finish in time or if it is really worth doing at all. When I start to think …

Good Luck Charms

Sandra December 11, 2018 holidays / little things / other stuff / this and thatOne Comment

  It is fun to believe in magic. It is fun to think that there are little things which bring us luck. Little, silly things can be so very comforting.    I know some special people who have had some recent trials. They have been sustained by their faith and …

  HOLY COW. ROBOTS ARE EVERYWHERE.   This is another Robot Memory/Matching Game. There are 28 matches (56 cards), laminated in 4×6 pockets to keep them nice. I have several of these wonderful, bright and cheerful plastic boxes which I bought for $1 at Michael’s. The Robot cards fit perfectly. …

Bitsy Bear Boxes

WHAT WILL I DO? What will I do when my grandchildren grow beyond the little things I love to make for them? Will I just make “little things” in bigger sizes? Will I trade little bears for large bears or tiny pillows for HUGE pillows?   I suspect ( as …

Winter Wonderland for Little Fingers

Winter Wonderland for Little Fingers

Sandra November 26, 2018 holidays / kids / little things / this and thatOne Comment

  It can be a Winter Wonderland right inside of a little box. This is a little tin. It has a clear see-through lid. I sprayed the inside with pretend snow and let it dry. Then, I put little, tiny, peel-off-adhesive magnets on the bottoms of the trees and at …

Twelve Days of Christmas

Sandra November 26, 2018 family history / holidays / home decor / kids / little things / other stuff / this and thatLeave a comment

  TWELVE DAYS OF CHRISTMAS      We grown-ups can talk about The Twelve Days of Christmas all we want to. Twelve means absolutely nothing to excited children. Children understand Christmas Eve and Christmas Morning and little else. They are not as silly as we are. We drag things out …
