Hi Everyone! Ever since I made my first dining room chair cushions for my wrought iron table, I was thinking they weren’t exactly what I wanted. To be honest, I didn’t have a sewing machine at the time (….I didn’t even know how to sew?…) and did everything by hand (….yeah, believe it or not,[…]
Hi Everyone! Just look at it…my embarrassing toothbrush I use for cleaning tile grout in my kitchen….all those grease stains that get caught between the tiles above the stove….embarrassing, I tell you.

So since my husband and I love berry jams, I thought I would turn these tiny blackberries, called “more” (pronounced “mo-reh”) in Italian, into yummy jam.[…]

Hi all! This week my creative juices have been running as I’m taking a break from baby preparation =) I had this glossy ceramic jug which I thought was the perfect thing to try a new experiment…new for me at least 😉 To stamp on flat ceramic surfaces….that much we know is easy enough….but what[…]
Well, winter is approaching here in Sicily and what better that home made warm soup? Have you ever tried making your own chicken broth? First off, it’s really easier than you think. Secondly, store bought broth is laden with salt and has no nutritional properties……so give me a few minutes and I’ll show you how[…]
Hi all! Well, being pregnant certainly has exciting moments…..one of which is finding out that you are having a girl! =) So when I was at the store the other day and saw this large hot pink plastic container, I knew it would be the perfect toy bin for our arriving baby girl as no[…]
Ok…..you would think the end of the summer means the end of mosquito bites, right? Wrong! They are still here trying to get inside still-warm homes in an effort to flee cooler temperatures outside.
