testing, 123

nothing is working… I apologize. should have left things the way they were…. ;(

running a little test

I went crazy with the domain and the self hosting and now I am no longer able to post!!!! I am sure I can work out the kinds…. well, no, I am not sure at all. please hang in there. Also I know the pretty theme is gone. I have to work on that too, but let’s get posting first.

Loads of links!

First of all, update your bookmarks, because I am now the proud owner and operator of UBERcraftyblog.com !!!! Oh I know, I can hear you, ‘here we go again!’ ANOTHER blog, but wait, this is just an upgrade. An actual domain name. Which should motivate me to write on a regular basis and remember to […]

The cottage floor, before, after and after-after

For 7 years the floor at the cottage was stained brown and totally scratched. It was worn when we bought it, and 7 years of country life with kids and dogs didn’t help it. 2 weeks ago, I moved the furniture to one side, grabbed a couple of gallons of deck/balcony paint in paper cotton […]

Pop the cork on the kitchen knobs!

Sadly, I did not drink the 29 bottles of champagne to get the corks. I just bought them on etsy. In my attempt to spruce up the cottage kitchen before re-listing it, I decided to change the ugly 80’s country knobs. With no budget, I spotted corks as knobs on Pinterest and the rest took […]

A fast project on a cold morning

I’m much more likely to put vodka or wine in there, but lately, I’ve been obsessed with altering vintage teacups.

Crochet Taxidermy and squirrel underpants

My husband has developped an obsession with Taxidermy. For years, he has planned on having our dog, Mortimer, stuffed and keep him curled up at the foot of the bed…. NO GOING TO HAPPEN! Lately, he is always sending me links to blogs about taxidermy gone wrong…. it’s very disturbing. So I figured I needed […]

New years Project – perpetual family calendar

On day 3 of the new year, I needed to come up with a fun project to do with my girls, because I am sick and it was too cold to stick them on the ski hill. I had spotted this idea on Pinterest last month. We stopped by Staples and bought 400 index cards, […]

The tale of the Ugly Hannuka sweater

if you don’t know this about me already, I am Jewish by choice, having converted before marrying my husband. Coming from a long line on non-practicing catholic French Canadians, the holidays to me meant crafting and decorating. Something Jewish holidays are sadly lacking in. I mean, really, for a group of people on year 5772, […]

Chalkboard wine glasses

I cannot drink wine from a plastic cup, I just can’t. So I needed to get extra wine glasses for our holiday dinner at the cottage, where I have only 4 wine glasses! Again, the various thrift stores yielded a nice mismatch of shapes and sizes. I saw chalboard-dipped glasses on Pinterest but my black […]
