Why Cheap?

My Mother was widowed, with three children, in her early thirties.  We were fed, educated, dressed nicely, lived  in an attractive home, all on a very small budget.  I didn't know we were poor until I was a Senior in High School.  My Mom decorated, fixed, patched, painted, wallpapered, sewed, crocheted, and cleaned, all while she worked and raised four strong individuals.  I didn't have any idea that women had any limitations.  When I got married, the budget wasn't big, so I just did what my Mother did, be clever and work hard!

This blog will just be postings of projects I have done, and you can decide which ones you are interested in learning how to do.  So, this is a crafts, gifts, and decor blog rather than a 'getting savings on purchases' blog.

Since I don't like to do things over and over, I have done all different types of projects.  I  had thought of calling this blog "Out of  My Mind,"  because odd ideas just pop out!

So, if you are interested, come back again and check out my projects.
