13 natural remedies for the ant invasion
Little tiny ants have been spotted in our new home, and many people are suffering the same fate across the country. As much as I love spring, I don't like bugs — especially bugs that can infest a house. Last week I asked for some advice in how to deal with ants naturally as I didn't have time to research it myself since I just moved this weekend. Some of these measures are deterrents. 1. Teresa: We just spray around the openings with pure lemon juice … and it always works for us … something about the acid messes up their sense of tracking… 2. Shayla: We use ground cinnamon around where there are coming it. Peggy: We spray cinnamon essential oil all around the doors, windowsills, floors, etc. keeps them from coming in. Letia: Another vote for ground cinnamon. Jean: Cinnamon and cloves. Patricia: We also use cinnamon oil. 3. Heather: My mother-in-law has success with peppermint essential oil around windows and doors (any entries). Julie: Dr. 4. 5. 6. 7. Natalie: Oh! 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13.

Upcycled Leather & Rhinestone Jewelry and Design ~ Mens & Womans ~ Sharing Crafting Tips: Creative ways to display your products
Lately I've been brainstorming different ideas to make my display interesting for my next craft show. I don't want my booth to look like everyone else's, or it might get looked over. The only way to prevent yourself from having the same old look is to make your own. I recently blogged about a unique shelf I made from a old mannequin. Next up are these trendy boxes I purchased from Michaels. The first one I will show you has a neat design with gold foiling, adding a nice contrast to the subtle print. This box was available in different sizes but the one I bought had enough room for four racks. In these next few pictures you will see what is holding up the bracelets. You might be wondering what is holding up the dowels? I used leather glue.... The placing of the half circles took a bit of planning to make sure the rows would be evenly spaced. I couldn't leave out the cuffs for men. This box was a bit larger than the previous box. I used the same supplies as I used for the first rack.

An Indian Summer: November 2012
...my wanderlust increases! Not that it EVER abates But the holiday season Coupled with the cheer in the air And the possibilities of vacation and travel Makes me hop skip, if only virtually for now To lands far away. I dropped into Spain this morning And brought for you some cozy rooms From one of my favorite mags Ah those months when that fireplace would be lit up, and someone would be curled up on the couch, with one of those many books Love the zen and symmetry of this room Mmm...such a warm bedroom! Feels like a gentleman's bathroom this :) The charm of mismatched dining chairs.. What a lovely way to wake up, with sunlight streaming in! Brilliant use of crates. Just so you know, I am lusting after that bed spread That looks like an antique cloth on the wall. You can never go wrong with pink and blue. [All images from Elle]
