Cell Phone ‘Prison’ Jar

September 12, 2013 by Crafty Teacher Lady +

I'm not sure if you are aware of this but teenagers are pretty much obsessed with their cell phones. While it's true that I do have the occasional student who does not have a cell phone, I'd say 99% do and are glued to those little devices. It's a constant battle to teach them cell phone etiquette and convince them that there is a time and place for electronics, but class time isn't it. Don't get

Pretty Fabric Bunting

September 6, 2013 by Crafty Teacher Lady +

Inspired by Lindsay's 'scrappy bunting' at The Pleated Poppy, I thought I'd try making my own version to add some whimsy and color to my classroom decor.  I cut a variety of rectangles that were about 1.5" by 2.5" from four different fabrics to make a small bunting.

Spring is the time to shine for the two cherry tre Spring is the time to shine for the two cherry trees in our backyard…watching them bloom has been nothing short of magical. And the scent of the blossoms!! Absolutely divine! 

Buying an older home vs building new can have its perks- one being an established yard (which I just fell in love with). We’ve got neighbors all around, however, the backyard feels pretty private thanks to landscaping done years ago by the previous owners!

I often see many great finds on Marketplace but because I don’t have a truck or trailer, I have to miss out on a lot. I knew this desk would fit in the back of my SUV so I jumped at the chance to grab it. What’s your favorite secondhand find?

Kitchen Progress Update…lots has been done but als Kitchen Progress Update…lots has been done but also still lots to do! I’m not in a hurry with this renovation…working full time and having a kid who needs lots of attention really limits what can be accomplished (and budget)!! But, I’ve got lots of ideas and plans and will chip away at things slowly. My main goal was to get the flooring and counters done before moving in and the rest can happen…whenever! 🤣😊

The light fixture uses a rechargeable lightbulb, no hardwiring needed, which makes it super easy to install. The paint color on her walls is @sherwinwilliams Malted Milk (a pretty, muted shade of pink).
