Removable Drapes for Sliding Glass Door

By Noreen 1 Comment

Removable Drapes for Sliding Glass Door

When we moved into our current home, we had to wait for a few weeks for the mortgage to close. During that time we wanted to cover the sliding glass door that led out to the patio. Because we didn’t yet own the home, we could not attach anything to the house. So we came up with this idea for covering the windows in a way that was removable. We liked the idea so … [Read more...] about Removable Drapes for Sliding Glass Door

DIY Knife Drawer Divider

By Noreen Leave a Comment

DIY Knife Drawer Divider

Our kitchen drawer full of knives just wasn’t working. We knew that if we used dividers, it would be much more usable. I could have used cereal box cardboard to make the dividers, but I wanted something a little nicer. At Lowes I found a piece of wood that was 2 1/2 inches wide (the same as the drawer height), 4 feet long and 1/4 inch thick. I only needed to cut 2 … [Read more...] about DIY Knife Drawer Divider

Easy DIY Puzzle Board

Easy DIY Puzzle Board

We love to work jigsaw puzzles, but it’s sometimes difficult to find a surface large enough for working a puzzle. A dining room table is a nice surface, but often we need to use the table for a meal while the puzzle is still in progress. The puzzle board can be easily moved from one place to another without disturbing the puzzle if it is in the way. And it can … [Read more...] about Easy DIY Puzzle Board

Corn and Green Chili Casserole, Gluten Free

By Noreen Leave a Comment

Corn and Green Chili Casserole, Gluten Free

I love the slightly spiciness of this casserole, which is a moist version of cornbread. Instead of canned diced chilis, I used fresh chilis because we had a 25 pound box of them roasted yesterday, and this is one of the delicious ways we use them. We freeze most of the roasted chilis and use them all year long. This makes either a great side dish or a main … [Read more...] about Corn and Green Chili Casserole, Gluten Free

Summer Hat Style

Here’s how to turn a plain summer hat into a stylish summer hat to match your wardrobe. And it doesn’t cost much to do it. At the end of last summer, Walmart had their summer scarves on clearance. So we bought several of them in colors that match our wardrobes. They also had their summer straw hats on clearance, and we bought 2 different styles. We … [Read more...] about Summer Hat Style

How to Insulate Windows from the Summer Sun (Cheaply!)

How to Insulate Windows from the Summer Sun (Cheaply!)

I live where it gets hot in the summer! One of the upstairs rooms has 3 enormous west facing windows so the hot afternoon sun bakes this room for several hours each day. Even though the windows are double paned, the windows, the shades, and the room really heat up by early evening. We have a swamp cooler, and a ceiling fan in this room, but it’s an uphill battle … [Read more...] about How to Insulate Windows from the Summer Sun (Cheaply!)

8 Pocket Folder from 1 Sheet of Paper

8 Pocket Folder from 1 Sheet of Paper

This fun little folder has 8 pockets. At 3 inches x 5 5/8 inches you could tuck it into a larger pocket of an album or organizer. It has so many interesting little pockets to explore or hide things in! I used a single sided sheet of paper so you can see the folds and pockets, but you would probably want to use double sided paper for your … [Read more...] about 8 Pocket Folder from 1 Sheet of Paper
