The Handyvergers: Caturday: Living with Pets
http://handyvergers.blogspot.com/2012/03/caturday-living-with-pets.html
Saturday, March 10, 2012. Caturday: Living with Pets. I find there are plenty of blogs that mention the challenges of living with children and having a "pretty" home, but not as many mention the challenges of doing so with pets - and boy, are there challenges! I'm lucky enough to share my home with four cats, which I'm pretty sure qualifies me as a crazy cat lady. I'm quite comfortable with that fact. Double-sided tape is grand, but I find it to be pretty tedious when dealing with a large surface. 3M...

The Handyvergers: Blast from the Past!
http://handyvergers.blogspot.com/2015/03/blast-from-past.html
Thursday, March 26, 2015. Blast from the Past! I absolutely cannot believe it's been 2 years since I posted last! Life's been the way life is - busy, hectic, sometimes wonderful and sometimes heart-rending. I'm going to try to post again, now that things are more stable. What have we done in the past 2 years? We've certainly spent plenty of time with the cats. Karma, still doing well, still enjoying the porch and sun. No big surprise there, right? Spring may yet come! We traded the tub/shower for a luxur...

The Handyvergers: There's tiger blood in my veins...
http://handyvergers.blogspot.com/2012/03/theres-tiger-blood-in-my-veins.html
Sunday, March 18, 2012. There's tiger blood in my veins. Oh, Charlie Sheen. Whatever happened to you, after your immensely entertaining (and somewhat sad) tailspin and tour? The wonderful Sammy at Renew Redo. Has a thing for it, and it's thanks to her that I actually bought some at Michael's a couple weeks ago and played around with it. Tiffany has perfected the technique. An asthmatic cat around, I just played around with it on a small scale. I had expected more of a solid color finish, but instead, I e...

Sunday, November 21, 2010. Mount Dora Awesome-Fest 2010! So I took a ride over to the semi-famous Renniger's Antique Extravaganza Weekend in Mt. Dora on Saturday with the lovely and fabulously talented decorating maven of ReNew ReDo! I won't offer any spoilers on her scores, but here's what I came away with:. A great pair of carved wood chairs with tufted backs for $30! That's $15 a chair, folks. They've even got casters on the front legs. Nifty! Riviera in Flight in Citrine. Sultana Lattice in Citrine,.

beauty meets budget: My latest reflection
http://beautymeetsbudget.blogspot.com/2010/11/my-latest-reflection.html
Thursday, November 25, 2010. So I know I promised part deux of my garage sale scores today, but my camera died as I was trying to download my pics and I'm too lazy to hunt down some batteries at the moment. Sad, I know. But in my couch-sitting-beer-drinking-long-weekend-celebrating-laziness I ran across something rather surprising and thought I'd share. Check it:. I know, right? Posted by beauty meets budget.

http://handyvergers.blogspot.com/2013/08/the-porch-garden-containers.html
Monday, August 12, 2013. The porch garden - containers! At the start of summer, I bought some long planters from Home Depot, and tucked some cute little plants into them. And they looked cute. From top to bottom:. Coleus, verbena, petunia and. A sweet potato vine. From top left to bottom right:. Bumblebee petunia, cinnamon basil,. Ornamental millet, black velvet petunia. Same planter box, but here you can see how. Small the cinnamon basil is, and that there's another. One more view, from the top. A few w...

The Handyvergers: Fabric Flowers, Feather Wreath
http://handyvergers.blogspot.com/2012/04/fabric-flowers-feather-wreath.html
Sunday, April 29, 2012. Fabric Flowers, Feather Wreath. Happy Sunday, all! I'm enjoy day #2 of a 3-day weekend, by some blessing of the scheduling gods. Yesterday was a busy day, running errands and working on integrating the new kitty into the household. So far, things are going well. We've definitely decided on the name Lancelot (Lance for short). I remembered that I had bought a few things at Michael's recently to adorn some wreaths, so I set to work. Here's how I did it:. Raid your fabric stash. ...

The Handyvergers: July 2013
http://handyvergers.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
Sunday, July 21, 2013. The infrequent updates continue. hopefully I can motivate to post a little more frequently, since we've been doing lots around the yard and house to keep making it a home. This spring, we redid the landscaping in front of our house. One of my new, favorite little spots is what I've come to think of as Pippin's Garden. I chose a single plant - a Rose of Sharon - in his memory, and built the little spot around it. This is earlier this spring, before the Rose of Sharon blossomed.

beauty meets budget: February 2011
http://beautymeetsbudget.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Monday, February 21, 2011. She clicks, she scores! Just wanted to share this little gem I got on Craigslist today for $30. Sure, in my dreams it was a whole set of campaign furniture, but since up until now I've been a campaign virgin I'll take what I can get. It's marked Drexel and it's in great shape structurally. Can't wait to shine up the hardware and paint this piece a fun color! Stay tuned for the "after" pics! PS Progress has been made on the wayward chair project! Posted by beauty meets budget.
