How to Install a Drip Watering System for the Garden

After getting the garden planted I am usually exhausted. It is hard work and takes me about 6 hours in the hot sun. So after I take a couple days to relax and nurse my sunburnt shoulders (you’d think I’d remember to apply extra sunscreen cause every year my shoulders get a little pink), it’s time to get back out there for one more day of work to install a drip watering system for the garden.

Master Bathroom Remodel: Installing New Tub & Shower Fixtures

I thought installing new tub & shower fixtures would be easy, boy was I wrong! Before you start your own bathroom remodel you want to read what I learned about tub & shower trim and valves. | Housefulofhandmade.com

Last week after figuring out the tiling and grout, I was so excited to add my tub and shower fixtures and use the new shower! Even though the rest of the bathroom isn’t done, I was determined to start the completed shower.

So on Friday I took my daughter to Home Depot to pick out our new tub & shower fixtures. I found a nice gentleman in the plumbing isle to assist and told him I needed a new bath faucet. He asked me what valve I had? I looked at him like a dear in the headlights!

I've been working hard on the master bathroom remodel. This week I tackled tiling and learned a lot. Check out the update on the bathroom and see what I learned so you can avoid making the same mistakes. | Housefulofhandmade.com

The master bathroom is looking so good! I find myself being drawn to it all day, just so I can look around and think about what it will look like when it’s all done. But then I snap out of it and get back to work! Honestly, in January I felt like a finished master bathroom was never going to happen for me. I vowed to get all the drywall done in January (and only missed that goal by a couple weeks). And once the walls are closed up, it all started to just come together.

Hello Spring! I am so happy you finally decide to come say “Hello”. It’s funny how the idea of spring just makes me want flowers.

And this week I took it one step further and made these free printable Daisy Gift Bags so I could even have flowers on my gifts.

Turn decorative eggs into fillable eggs by adding a zipper! I love filling my kids Easter baskets with non-candy items. I am not opposed to candy too, but I just can’t fathom spending $5 on a chocolate bunny that is made out of so-so chocolate when I can spend $5-10 on a cute spring shirt or … Read more

Spring Flower & Book Page Banner

Sadly, spring took a step backwards today. We had hail and slush coming out of the sky. But that didn’t make me any less excited for spring decorating. I have been staring at my mantle and knew I needed something to accessorize my old window. I couldn’t decide on a banner or a wreath. I love them both so much for decorating! After a bit of back and forth, I had the idea of doing a reverse silhouette in a banner so I ran with it. I am glad I did because this spring flower & book page banner is perfect for our spring mantle, even if Mother Nature is not cooperating.
