How to Begin Decorating with Fabric
1/30/2024
Color and Design - Inspiration for Beginners
Here are two examples of using fabric to create inexpensive wall art that can be easily changed out when the mood strikes you. The fabric was mounted on a recycled bulletin board with spray adhesive and then framed with frames I found at yard sales.
Slipcovers are a decorator's best friend!
Many blessings... Luv, Sandra
New Year, New projects and Good bye to 2023!
1/19/2024
My family faced some really difficult seasons last year. I had to pour more of myself into family and caregiving which shifted my time away from my projects and blogging. It seems like I am constantly trying to get this blog and my business up and running so I can help my family survive the hard times ahead.
Last year was full of big changes and hard transitions so I am very happy to leave 2023 and begin a new year. I am looking forward to 2024 with prayers for a prosperous year. But I am literally starting over once again at age 67. I am on my own this time as my husband requires 24/7 caregiving. Something I didn't think about when we married, but I have always known there would come that time.
My plan this year is very simple; focus on my family and their needs, finish my projects one at a time, post at least once a week and enjoy the simple beauty of each day.
I am truly grateful for every new day the Lord gives me!
Luv and Blessings, Sandra
Merry Christmas Greetings from Our Home to Yours!

A Christmas Wrap Up
I wish you a very Merry Christmas, a Happy New Year and may all your prayers be answered.
So I am just now finishing the clean up Christmas process. I have donated ornaments and decor that I no longer use and hope they make someone very happy. I am now starting my New Years clean up which consists of cleaning, recycling and reorganizing the studio and my home. We have downsized to a smaller place which is easier for my husband to maneuver right now and more affordable in So.Calif.
My news year resolution is to pray and put the dreams of owning our own home in the hands of the Lord and I am thankful that I still have the strength and ability to provide the 24/7 caregiving that he requires now.
Many blessings to you and yours!
XO, Sandra
That's a wrap see you next year!

MY HOW TIME FLIES!
This last few months have been crazy here in the cali desert!
The weather has been wonderful, we got tons of rain, my rose bushes look marvelous!
We just now are warming up. It is still dropping down into the 50's at night. So far 90 has been the highest it goes for now.
The hubs had nine appointments at the VA in one month., 6 lab tests and six video chats. It is an hour away and they usually last at least 45 minutes so I did a lot of reading. I always take a stack of books and magazines with me for entertainment. Sometimes I go in and sometimes I am the chauffer, dropping him off when there are no close parking spots, finding a parking place farther away and waiting for his call.
I have been doubting myself, my business and my purpose. Praying and waiting for answers while waiting in peace which is a blessing all its own that I am truly grateful for.
