rr, those are wonderful - love the colors you've used!!

I always think of it as a "rat race" thing. As in, not being part of it if we don't want to be. Alternatives to keeping up with the Jones's, etc. ...

Yesterday my DB gave us a stack of lightly used foam insulation board, which will be very useful around the house and barn. Hoping to start poking...

Someone in a neighboring town bought a lovely old church (from a congregation that built a new monstrosity outside of town), and promptly painted it...

Especially those for children, in which little girls are dressed up as adults with hose, heels, and makeup - mini Barbie dolls- sexualized to he!!...

Some good points here. We seem to accept things we grew up with as "normal" without giving any thought to them. If we looked at many of our...

That's a great piece! Love the painter's tape. I'm guessing it looks even more dimensional in person? I love "things on walls", and that's a...

cl, that sounds really good. I have to say that I admire, and envy, your drive and work ethic. I struggle with LAS (lazy a$$ syndrome) and as a...

When I clean the coffee pot with vinegar (at least once a month) the vinegar gets dumped into the john, and the bowl brushed. When I bleach small...

Ok, I do a lot of things you all have posted, lol - but like many of you, I don't think of them as "extreme". :-) Word about not running water down...
