Welcome

Sometimes you come across a well used item at a yard sale or estate sale and think "What the heck would I do with that?" Or "Why would anyone want something like that?" or even "Love it but OMG that paint job is hideous!"

I like to take well used items and repurpose or upcycle them into usable treasures. The uglier they start out the better!

I'm a crafter/recrafter. I crochet, sew, bake and enjoy canning and love caring for my chickens.

I hope you find my posts informative and fun.
