Christmas is here

I know I�ve been absent. I really haven�t had any inspiration and I have trouble using the keyboard since my hands are really shaky. It�s a genetic thing that I�ve had for years. The last year it�s gotten worse, though and I�ve had to see a Doctor about it. This week I�ll be getting medicine for it � some kind of Beta blockers and hopefully it�ll get better.

I�ll try and fix the inspiration thing. Let�s start with this years Advent candle holder.

Hold It Right There! Creative Coat Racks & Hooks


Whether you use them to hang your coat, scarf, handbag, belts, jewelry or keys, racks and hooks are essential organizational must-haves for your home. Not only do they help keep us organized and tidy, they also add interest, shape, and color to our walls. Hung in an entry way, mudroom, hallway, bath or bedroom, these racks can serve a multitude of purposes throughout your entire home. 

But don't stop there! 
Hanging a clever or unusual rack is a great way to show off your own unique personality and style. Check out this collection of unique and creative coat racks & hooks and I think you'll agree!

Tie One On! Upcycled and Repurposed Neckties



As all clothes do, neckties go in and out of style over time, so they are often donated to goodwill shops or given away to friends or family who might find a use for them. Other times, we may find ourselves the inheritor of ties when a loved one passes on. 

What do you do with those ties? Why not upcycle them into something brand new or create a unique memory craft in honor of a loved one? Check out this collection of ties that have been upcycled into unique, new items.
