Last year I accidentally discovered that a flared votive candle holder will fit the top of a Mason or Ball canning jar. That post is here showing a filled jar with the candle. I wanted to enter a jar with that concept into the fair, but I knew that two glass pieces not held together …

Le Challenge – Wood
I like the idea of a challenge where you have barely 30 days to figure something out, make it and then show it, all within a challenge theme. That is how it works at Le Challenge, and this month the theme was Wood. Just so happens that I have a project I have been putting …
Springtime Cards and Two Little Words
Lovely warm spring, this time of year is just so inspiring. It brings out more creativity. I am just obsessed with yellow right now. For some reason it is saying spring is here!! It seems the right time to be grateful for many things. Do you know what those important two little words are? Thank …
Refashioning a Necklace
Do you have any of those multi-strand necklaces? This one was sitting in the drawer not being worn because two of the chains were starting to look tarnished. Plus it was a lot of necklace at once, actually just too many strands. So, I decided to take it apart and recycle the individual strands into …

Mason Jar Holiday Candle
Ever have one of those serendipitous moments where something out of place becomes an inspiration? I was in one of my local craft stores recently and found this little votive holder sitting on a shelf where it wasn't supposed to be. It is one of the ones that just holds a little votive, and it …
Autumn Candle Wreaths
Perfect for fall, this candle wreath is so easy to make. All you need is a collection of materials from your yard, a few silk flowers and a hot glue gun. I have a bunch of these little wreaths, not good for much to hang on a wall, but they are the perfect size to …
Autumn Mason Jar Project
Aren't Mason jars the neatest things? I don't know why I am so drawn to them, maybe because they remind me of a simpler time. My grandmother made the best jams, and always used those jars. I found these lovelies in a thrift store, and had to get them. They say Golden Harvest on the …
