One of my many pastimes is putting a name on it. I love monograms and bows. I love the extra touches of personalization. I decided to venture out with an online store.

There is a new item called LIFE theme and it is used on tee shirts and totes. I am just learning how to create these designs.

Watching the sunset and the sky changing colors gives me such a restful feeling. I love my tabletop fire pit. It adds just enough heat to keep me cozy. I found another great DIY outside project that takes only a hour to create and by night fall, I can enjoy the results with my tabletop fire pit.
It is inexpensive too. I bought Dollar Tree solar lights and flower pots . I already had the paints. Since I’m not crafty as an artist, I just pour a small amount of paint on the flower pots. Let them dry. Insert your lights and you are all set with perfect little table lights.
Now all I add is a glass of wine, toes up and watch the sunset.
