How to Make an Easy No-Sew Bed Skirt with Drop Cloth

7/16/2018

With the summer heat it has been hard for me to get motivated to do much of anything. Have you all heard about the legendary New York humidity? As many of you know, I am supposed to be working on making the bedroom look presentable, I even made a mood board. But so far things have been slow. It takes a lot to get me to paint these days with Tatou, our puppy, running around.

One thing I did manage to tackle has been the bed. This is how it looked before but I knew it needed a lot of help to look presentable. Today I am going to show you how to make an easy no-sew bed skirt with drop cloth. Along with some other tricks!

A Different Look at the Beach in Beautiful Greece

This photo essay has been in the works for almost a year. It was photos I took of a local beachfront in Greece a few weeks before we left.

I started to work on it many times but I could never get very far. Maybe I needed to be in the season to edit it. Well, that time of the year has finally come, and I can share a different look at the beach in beautiful Greece. Also a bit of my thought process on how I put these photo essays together.

Welcome to our One Hundred Fourteenth Sweet Inspiration Link Party.

I hope you have all marked our new start time for the link party. As of last week the Party moved 4 hours earlier to 7 am EST or 11 am GMT.

We had a wonderful Fourth of July. Lots of barbecue and relaxation. I was a bit worried that our pup would freak out because of all the noise and fireworks, but he handled things like a trooper. What did you do on the Fourth?

Using Pebbles to Inspire my Love of the Beach

7/2/2018

It is my favorite time of the month, the International Bloggers Club Challenge. We are a group of friends from all over the world who get together every month to share our projects and discuss how things are done in our countries. Last time we shared projects that were made using wire. And the month before it was projects for gardening.

This month we are going to work with rocks or in my case pebbles. The beaches in my area in Greece are not full of sand but full of pebbles instead. So when I think of pebbles I think of the beach. I am going to use pebbles to inspire my love of the beach.

To see what my friends have made this month scroll down to the bottom of this post.
