Making a Jug Lamp

Today I am sharing a project I have done a number of times. When cleaning out my grandma's barn we came across a ton of old jugs and I knew I wanted to re purpose them into something. I had been wanting to try make a lamp from an old jug for a while. The jugs that cleaned up well I left clear. The other jugs that were still a little cloudy after cleaning I painted using spray paint.

Wine Bottle Stoppers

Once or twice a year I like to host a clothing swap party. The last party I hosted I choose a "Sip & Swap" theme. Everyone was asked to bring a bottle of wine for us to "sip" while shopping through the clothes that were brought. With the "Sip & Swap" theme I thought it would be fun to do a little craft to tie into our theme. I came up with the idea of making decorative cork stoppers out of cabinet knobs.

Found Cottage Pickling Workshop

One of the highlights of my Summer was attending a pickling workshop hosted by a few bloggers that I have been following for some time. When I seen that Abby was going to be hosting the workshop and Natalie was traveling to Michigan to share her pickling expertise I jumped on the chance to attend. Megan was also there to lead us in a fun craft!
