I was on a roll, getting some of the "little piddling" things done on my "L" word. Well........ I messed up! I kept reading about this Pinterest thing. I took a "sneak peek" (should have NOT done that), ended up snooping around for quiet sometime, and that "L" word got ignored. I need to walk away from it right now while I am ahead - that place is addictive !! I will not join - I

Sure hope everyone made it thru the storms late yesterday and last night without any damage. I did not get damage, but will need to clean up some small sticks, etc. It seems to early in the year to be getting this kind of weather.I am hoping someone in the "land of blog" can help me with this. Normally my Reading list on my dashboard looks like this...... (sorry for the blurred pictures)Well,

Every post needs a picture, so dug around in my photos and found one I took a couple of years ago, worked on it a bit and ..............Actually don't have a post ready.

Weather was nice Saturday, so checked out estate sale listings and hit the street. Found one with lots of jewelry.One end of the table......Photo: SourceDid not find the type of vintage bling I really wanted and prices high, but did get a couple of "grab bags" with some usable pieces.I just kinda piled everything up to take this picture, but there are a lot of pieces that can be repurposed,

Yesterday afternoon I posted one of my "rambling" type posts, and went on to do other things. Came back later and checked my email, and that was when I found out there was a problem - Thanks Leann. It appeared some settings reverted back to a previous point in time. I finally just deleted the post and turned the computer off and started over this morning. Don't know if I accidentally did

Well..........Guess I could go sit on the courtyard brick wall and watch the world go by.

Papers cleaned out and shredded a few days ago, the last "fizzled out" poinsettia was disposed of, 2 different kinds of leftover candy combined in one bowl. Christmas cards put with those from last several years, nut tree on dining table replaced with bowl of faux cherries, nut tree put on steps to put in storage later, etc., etc. In other words - doing a lot of "piddling things" - avoiding

HAPPY, HEALTHY, PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR ! ! !Here's hoping 2012 will be a much better year than 2011 (at least in my situation). The year 2011 had a lot of "rough spots" in the road for me - some of which caused some bumps and bruises that are still lingering.Will I be making any New Year's Resolutions ? No - Stopped doing that years ago, as I was not very good at keeping them anyway. Sooo.......

Hope everyone has enjoyed the Holidays. After all the decorating, cooking, shopping, wrapping - and in a blink of the eye, it is over with for another year. I cut back in a lot of ways this year and I have to admit, I did not miss a thing that did not get done. I indulged and ate a few things that I don't eat often, but don't think I did to bad.I Missed it: Just found out recently, a large

Finished the last three necklaces for some young ladies...........Kept these these fairly simple, due to the ages of the recipients.Guess I could have lit the candle - picture might have looked better. Not going back and redo them now.I found the pendants/charms at Michaels (used a coupon and were either 40 or 50% off - forgot). They were attached, chain style, but I took them apart and used

When I went to the bead show last month, I got two rough cut amethyst pendants to make necklaces for 2 on my gift list. They were very inexpensive as they are rough cuts with imperfections - but I thought they were pretty.In the works.................I also used some silver plated filigree beads and very light purple fluorite (?) nugget beads, and came up with this design. I have a ? mark

No - we don't still have snow - just a picture I took before it melted last Wednesday (gotta have a picture - you know).Set out with a list of stops to make today and only accomplished about half of them. One of the things I set out to accomplish, was to get lots of "little things" to make up some gift bags. I was already drawing a blank as to what I wanted to buy and the best place to go.

What I woke up to this morning.........I think "they" said we got about an inch of the white stuff by the time it stopped. Ok - that is enough - I am ready for Spring already.On to other things: The wreaths that laid on the counter for days finally got hung one day last week,and I finally decided to go ahead and put up a tree. However, instead of the usual 7 footer , I bought a 4 foot, prelit

I was out and about for several hours yesterday, and had planned to take pictures of outside decorations around the area, but traffic was heavy and I was always in the wrong lane to pull over, etc. So, this is a rerun of pictures I took 2 years ago of gingerbread houses where I attended a luncheon.

If any one had been at my house today, it would not have been hard for them to figure out why I did not get much accomplished. I started the day determined to work on the "clean out mission" I started long time ago - you are probably already saying "yeah - right".Step #1: Clean out and organize living room closet . Now let me explain - This is a major project here !! This closet serves

Thanksgiving dinner was served here on Saturday, due to other family obligations, but it all worked out. I rarely stray from the usual menu, as "my gang" always want the same things and it works for me also. So stuck to the usual and the end result - everyone was full and content.The last of "my gang" left out Sunday mid-day , and I sent most of the leftovers home with them. I did keep

Nothing to do with the post - but gotta have a picture: Just a picture of the ornamental kale I got a while back - this one did not do as well as some have in the past.

Due to the fact that I have not replaced my camera yet (the one on loan to me and I are not getting along these days), I am still digging around in my picture archives to see what I have on file. I did not take this picture (could not find the source) - It is one from an estate sale listing some time ago. I had C&P the picture with intentions to attend the sale and do a post on it also, but

I have been on a "shopping free diet" for some time now, with the exception of the necessities. Still on a mission to "clean out" around here, and I have not worked on that mission for some time now due to other "stuff" going on.. Of course "necessities" does include jewelry making supplies, so made a trip to a bead show last weekend.Replaced my supply of rhinestone balls and rondelles,

Most of what is going on around the "Dab of This and That" house these days are not things to post about. So.....

Saturday morning I bounced (actually dragged myself) out of bed as the sun was coming up, as I was going on a mission. I knew of a church having its Fall festival, which included a "white elephant" sale and I had pretty good luck buying vintage bling there a couple of years. Fueled with a half cup of coffee, I was there as they were opening up - You know "early bird gets the worm". Well....

When my home/life was violated, I mentioned to a few that I may not continue with my hobby of repurposing vintage/old jewelry and I got fussed at big time. So.... I decided I would continue to do so as it is something I enjoy doing so much, but this time on a smaller scale.I have gradually been replacing some of my supplies. Recently I spent some time doing a little organizing, clean up

Would like to say I have accomplished the same, but I have not. I did replace a couple of dead potted plants in the courtyard with some pots of faux mums I already had, to add some

Last time I posted, I was off to mark a few things off the to do list, and run some errands - some of which were very important! You know - Go to the grocery store so you will have something healthy to eat, pharmacy for whatever, trip to the post office to mail some checks to pay some bills so important things don't get cancelled - you know the drill.Well.....I got sidetracked (whats new).

A couple of years ago, about this same time of the year, I stopped in a florist/decor/gift shop to purchase a couple of candles. The Fall displays and flowers were beautiful, so asked permission to take some pictures and explained how I would use them in my blog. They gave permission (very reluctantly I might add), so I took some pictures, thanked them, paid for my candles and left. As it

Just a short post to wish you a.......Hard to believe it is the first day of Fall already. It was a hot Summer, but it seemed to fly by.Since I am "picture poor" these days, the banner is one I made for a Fall 2009 post.Hope you have a great weekend !Glenda

I will be taking a break from blogging for a while . How Long? I don't know at this point in time.No picture for this post - I no longer have a camera. Necklace I started (previous post) won't be finished, my jewelry supplies, including the containers of vintage pieces are gone. I am not typing this post on my laptop, because I no longer own one, and the list goes on.Long story made short - I

Grab a hard hat: It is that time of the year again. The squirrels sit up in the hickory nut tree in the late afternoon/early evening and dine on hickory nuts, and my courtyard becomes a war zone. Yesterday the patio was covered in pieces of shell and whole nuts before I hosed it off after their "feeding frenzy" was over for the day. Project in the works: A jewelry project I started on a

Even tho clouds can mean different things, such as a light Summer rain, or a major storm - they can just be "fluffy and pretty" sometimes......

I was cleaning out some old pictures and ran across this one that I took back in December. Sadly - That is what that spot still looks like. One of the things on my list , is to update photo albums and pictures in frames - still not done. Actually, some of the frames got updated a while back, but the albums are still sitting in the same spot 8 mos. later. Think my creativity took a hike. I

Picture taken Summer 2010 Pictures taken Summer 2011 As some of you may remember, about a year ago I posted pictures I took of a koi pond. Recently I saw the same pond, and noticed that it had a lot more vegetation in it this Summer. Had my camera in the car (for a change), so took a few more pictures. The fish were not as cooperative about getting their picture taken this time. Most of

Picture has nothing to do with the post - but you gotta have a picture - Right ?!? On one of our very HOT days recently, I noticed I could probably write my name in the dust on the table and decided it was time to get some housework done. However, instead of doing something about it right then, I started having flashbacks about doing chores when growing up, and one of the reasons I dislike

In the Summer I usually buy some gladiolus, especially when the grocery store has them at a good price. I finally remembered to get some recently and what a disappointment. The buds are not opening ! I gave each stalk a fresh cut before putting them in water. The ones that were open when I bought them have wilted, but no new blooms have opened. Never had this to happen before. I dug around

What is this Mess ? My daughter emailed me that dinner was ruined! She was cooking a pork tenderloin in a baking dish and it shattered. Result - dinner ruined. Glass in the bottom of the oven. I said it looked pretty brown, and she said that according to directions it still had a few mins. to cook and that was the rub she used that got so dark. I have heard many times before about baking

First of all: I want to say "Welcome" to the new "Readers" (followers) that have joined.Not much going on right now to write a post about, so thought I would do a recap of some of the jewelry I have made since the first of the year. There were a couple of other pieces, but did not take a picture before they were given away.The most recent - just posted about a couple of weeks ago.Hope to work

Just another "Dab of This and That" post. Not anything going on to write home about, just so HOT out there. This area is under a heat warning until Friday morning, and we are under a ozone warning, so won't be out and about much. Yes - It could be worse - I remember the Summer of 1980. I was trying to remember how hot it got that Summer , and they just said on the news it was 108 on 7/

I had planned to go to the the farmers' market yesterday, but by the time I ran other errands I was "over" dealing with the heat. Instead, I went to a local owned produce store that does carry local grown when it is available. The "Big" plus - they have air conditioning and the farmers' market does not. They also carry some pickled veggies and cheeses that I like.Bought some shelled

"Littlest Grand" is so close to taking off. She walks around holding on to things constantly (had rather be standing than crawling), and will get into a standing position in the middle of the floor (with no support) so she can dance. Then she gets to "moving and grooving" a little to much and plops. :-D Yay for thick diapers! This is a pair of shoes she got a while back, and it won't be

In the stash I was given not long ago, there was a shamrock pendant/charm in a little box with a card stating that it was a real, preserved shamrock, souvenir Old Bushmills and Old Bushmills is etched on the back. So curiosity got the best of me and I did a little google work - turns out it is a distillery in North Ireland dating back hundreds of years. The pendant/charm does not appear to be

It is time for Marty's "Summer Cloche Party", and Kim's "Wow Us Wednesday".I have not been making any decorating changes around the house in a while now, and that also goes for my cloches. They still have their Spring decor in them, but since that includes birds, nests, etc., I think they still work for the Summer months also.

This is a post about a "Plate of Bones and a Trip Down Memory Lane" .A while back, I took some time and did a little research on some vintage pieces of "bling" I had bought to repurpose, to see if the companies were still in business, if collectible, worth much, etc. No - won't be buying my dream house - dangit !Anyway - I also researched some beads that were in one of the grab bags of old

But not out of my garden. Main reasons - I don't have a vegetable garden, don't have the know how to have a successful one, don't want the work involved, don't have the room for one here, and to much shade. Is that enough reasons? :D So like many others - off to the farmer's market, roadside stands, etc.. One of my Grands and I made a pizza run one evening recently for dinner, and we

That question has popped up on occasion over the years, and I have received some emails from some fellow bloggers inquiring as to if I was interested in selling some pieces I have made. I am pretty sure I have answered all inquiries.Answer: As of this very second - I do not.A little history how I got started repurposing jewelry: I was repurposing/recreating vintage jewelry long before

I started out gathering supplies to make a necklace with a pendant made from a vintage piece of flatware, got sidetracked (what is new),and started working on a different one. The end result...............The abalone piece was part of a bracelet at one time. I bought the broken bracelet at a yardsale years ago and honestly do not remember what I paid for it - couldn't have been to much. Took

Summers now days are so different from when I was growing up (I know - many years ago).A Trip Down Memory Lane: Next to my parents house,

You stay inside - don't do anything you should be doing - instead pull out jewelry supplies and play! Things get messy !!!Looking pretty good ??!!?! No........ Something is wrong here ????Some extra countries appear to have popped up South/SW of the US and Mexico. Oooops !! The tiny globes were victims of water damage and it appears they developed rust spots that appear to be recently

I think I have broken my record for taking the most bad pictures within a few days time. I finally took the time to go thru the ones I took last weekend and what a mess. I must have had the camera on the wrong setting for the ones I took on that Saturday, as almost all of them were out of focus.These are some I took another day while just roaming around the area.

When talking with someone a while back, she told me she had a bag of jewelry that they could not sell in their business (antique), and would be getting rid of it (throwing out). Many times at estate sales/auctions you have to buy a container full of junk and broken pieces just to get the few pieces you want for resale. When she asked if I wanted it, I could not say Yes fast enough. We don't

Anyone that has been visiting around my blog lately knows that I have not had a lot of creativity/repurposing going on for a while now. Just other things going on, however during my rounds of the "land of blog" I saw where Joan over at "Anything Goes Here" came up with a wonderful way to use vintage wooden hangers. Since I was looking for a unique way to hang my necklaces - "My ears perked up"

First of all, the above picture has nothing to do with anything in this post. Just a picture I took of a primrose I had over a year ago, and framed it up in picasa. We do things like this when you can't take new pictures, because of back to back bad weather days. A year ago at this same time, is when the horrendous storms and flooding hit the MidSouth and we are experiencing the same kind of

Nothing exciting going on in the category of decorating, redos, repurposing in my abode these days. I was going thru some pictures and realized how many looks my dining table has been thru since the first of the year.Shortly after the holidays - makeshift jewelry studio....The promise of Spring came along........then moved the cloche to the table behind loveseat, so the container of cherries

When granddaughter was here in March, she was looking at my stash of jewelry supplies, and said she liked this cameo. Told her I would make her a necklace and have it ready for her when she returned, so it went from this.......to this. I kept it pretty simple, as she is a tween.I also made her a fun charm bracelet .

I have not done a Dab of This and That for a while so here we go..............Thanks: Thanks for all the nice comments about my courtyard. I do not have a green thumb - I just get what I think will survive my neglect, put them in pots, a drink of water pretty regular and a shot of miracle grow once in a while (if I remember). It is mainly shade (which is a good thing) when the trees

I had planned to take my camera for a walk today and take pictures of all the beautiful azaleas in bloom, but the wind is blowing so did not think many would turn out well.Instead, I will share what is blooming in my courtyard right now. I potted annuals Friday, and still have a few more to fill. Will go one day this next week to get more - not sure just what.No, that is not a helicopter in

Few weeks ago I went by a neighborhood estate sale. Knowing who the elderly lady is, I did not expect to find very much jewelry (vintage or new), but decided to check it out anyway. I did buy these pieces - the matching necklace/earring set, and the earrings on the card are not vintage. Not sure what I will be doing with them just yet.However, this celluloid broach, cross, tiny lock/key set,

Make note to self - "Do not log into blog account until the morning coffee kicks in". Why you ask ?!? This morning, I attempted to delete a "draft" of a post, and deleted the last one I posted instead. If I remember correctly, most of it was about the bad storm that rolled thru the area on Monday. Many homes not that far from me were badly damaged when trees fell on them - some destroyed. A

When daughter was here, she bought this pendant on sale at HL, and asked me to make her a necklace. With some silver chain, silver filigree beads, glass beads and a few minutes later, it went from this........to this.This one I made using pieces of a vintage bead necklace, vintage crucifix and new chain. The beads are such a dark blue, they are almost black. I had this completed and taking a

Few weeks ago, I made a note to buy ink for my printer, then the light bulb went off - I wonder if CSN has printer's ink ? Why CSN? I won Cindy @ Applestone Cottage giveaway a while back and was holding off spending my gift, until I knew of something I really needed/wanted ( I am tight with my gift cards) :D. Yep!

Actually, I left it as is and on a table in the living room area thru the Winter months.I have it sitting on a cake pedestal.Click picture to

The beginning of the year, I said I was going to "spiffy" up my blog, change my blog look, figure out how to do more things, etc., but so far it has not happened.So, first step - I decided to do a little clean up on my computer and in an effort to do so, I ran across this mosaic/collage I made from some pictures I took and posted about last Spring.
