I made a craft show checkout station for Glendale! I’ve never really needed one before, but having help this year (cousin Terry) I thought it might be confusing for customers—not knowing who to pay. Not to mention that I’m constantly digging for bags, tissue paper, etc. Now, you might think “I don’t do craft…
You know I love easy, rustic projects that use up bits and pieces. I have not just one easy rustic frame, not two, but THREE frame projects. I have a lot of old fencing that isn’t prime quality for my Etsy shop signs. Taking the fence board on a ride through the table saw…
Hello! Greetings from Colorado, it is Mindi again from My Love 2 Create. Sometimes I get inspiration for projects from other sources and sometimes they come because of necessity. Today’s post is one of necessity, but not for me…for my little sister, a Kid Storage Bench.

It’s been a nice week here in Louisville. I’ve been so busy working on projects that I almost forgot to write this week’s Catch as Catch Can post!
I hope to inspire you to make your own mason jar vases, just like I was inspired by my friend Sharon.
Wow, May is almost over, and this weekend is the Memorial Day long weekend. Where does the time go? I’ve been busy working on the porch and more, plus tinkering with some projects. The projects below have inspired me, and I hope you find something to pique your interest!
Happy Thursday friends! We got more snow overnight. The snow from two weeks ago JUST melted, and now we have a fresh supply. I’m anxiously awaiting warmer Spring weather. I hope things are going well for you tonight!
Hey everyone, it’s Mindi again from MyLove2Create!
