I have a base to my kitchen table, which had a tile top we were going to replace 4 cracked tiles in. Hubby was a bit too strong armed, now top is horribly broken with holes, cracked up tile & cracked. Do you think we can use the base & your plans to just make a new top? I’ve been eating on a piece of plywood since before Easter!
I don’t see why not….the only thing I’d be concerned about is making sure the base you have is strong enough to support the weight; our table top is super heavy! You could always use thinner boards for the top if you’re worried about it….it would have a little bit different look, but still be nice, I think.
Hi Marcia–thanks for asking! If you look at the sidebar on the right, there’s a box to enter your e-mail address to be notified when there’s a new post (I don’t send out an actual newsletter right now). HTH!
I, also, would like to sign up for notifications but I’m using my Kindle and I don’t see a sidebar. My email is: kajealjo1@juno.com
Could you please and me?
I think I have you signed up (it should send you a confirmation e-mail)….I didn’t think about how the subscription box doesn’t show up on mobile devices; I’ll need to figure something out for that!). Thanks for reading!
hmm….honestly, I don’t have any of the coasters myself (they were all given away as gifts)….but my guess is the mod lodge would be likely to crack and bubble with hot drinks.
ha! tried the christmas snowflake decoration–came out looking like a wastebasket full of paper!!
sorry–it stopped working when none of my individual snowflakes would face the same way to get
the proper lines going…..utterly dreadful attempt-ugh. also all the tape and staples showed up like
neon signs.
guess I’m not the crafty type.
I wanted to tell you I loved your tutorial on diy tile coasters so I used it to make Christmas gifts. I pinned mine on Pinterest and tried to give credit on it to your tutorial but I don’t see it showing up on my picture. It was a fun, easy project and we loved how they turned out. Just didn’t want to not give credit to you but I don’t know how.
Thanks so much for trying, but I’m definitely not the one who came up with the idea originally (and I think it’d be pretty much impossible to track down whoever did at this point), so I don’t think any credit is due in this case :). Glad you found the tutorial helpful, though!
Hi. I have another copy of the “Fancy Lady” print you posted about in 2013. Mine does not have glass in front of it, but it has the same cryptic “The Satin Gown” is on the back. No signature, but I inherited it from my grandmother, and it was hanging in her Victorian decorated house for decades. Have you learned anything about it? Anything at all? Thanks Elaryia (Toronto, ON Canada
Thank you for the precise tutorial for making the giant snow flake – paper flake … I spent a very calm evening by practissing. the result was quite nice, hangs now in our living room. i love doing such things – sometimes.
I don t have an own blog or s.l.that. Could sent you pics by email if you like.

Hey there! I found a pin from you where you built an under-deck chicken coop and we’re currently planning for the same. The million dollar question is… Did you regret it re: odor? We have a dozen big PROS for why we want our duck coop under the deck and a single CON, that’s the smell. Will we regret it this summer? Any insights welcome! Thank you!
Hi! We don’t regret it. I do wish it were waterproof because it gets pretty mucky in there, but I don’t think the stickiness is any more of a problem than it would be if it were farther out in the yard, since the smell tends to travel. We do use the PDZ coop refresher stuff pretty liberally, especially in summer. And they free range during the day, so that keeps the poop more dispersed 🙂

With the old top being tile, wood would actually be lighter. I hope it works out. Tired of eating on plywood!
Where did you get the Johnny Cash art? I love it!
I asked Kristi, and she says it came from Hobby Lobby….not sure how long ago, though! 🙂
Can I receive a newsletter from you?

I love your coaster post from a few years ago. Can I put a hot coffee cup on the coaster or is it for cold drinks only.
hmm….honestly, I don’t have any of the coasters myself (they were all given away as gifts)….but my guess is the mod lodge would be likely to crack and bubble with hot drinks.

What are the measurements of the tubs & where did you get them? Thank you.
Not sure what tubs you’re talking about? If you can tell me which project, I’ll try to help–thanks!
