My Top Ten DIY & Craft Posts For The Year


It's that time of year again. When bloggers like to bore you to tears by counting down their top posts from the last year.

Seriously though, it's a chance for my newer followers (Howdy!) to see what I've done in the past and a chance for my older followers (old as in "have been around here a while", not old as in "ready for the retirement home") to see some of the posts they may have missed.



Problem is, since I blog about vintage, gardening, DIY etc, it's hard to whittle them down to just ten posts, so today I have my Top Ten DIY And Craft Posts For The Year.

I'll come back and show you my Top Ten Home And Garden Posts and Top Ten Thrift Store Finds Posts another day.

In no particular order, we have:

DIY Birdseed Cakes aka Let Them Eat Cake - good to know that I'm not the only one who loves a good piece of cake.



I think my How To Turn A Thermos Into A Lamp post is one of my favorite of all time. I love vintage thermoses. I love to be able to see at night. A match made in heaven.


My DIY No-Sew Shirt Pillow Tutorial was published (eeek!!!) in Women's World Magazine a few weeks ago.



This Painting A Vintage Motel Chair tutorial will come in so handy in a few weeks when I paint the matching side table I found at an estate sale. All I need is a kitschy 1950's motel to set them in front of now.



Peat pots are just made for spring crafting (OK, they're actually made for gardening) and my readers seemed to get a kick out of these Spring Zinc Peat Pots that look like little Easter baskets.



I had to giggle when I posted this Vintage Snack Set Bird Feeder tutorial. It never occurred to me to put the birdseed on the tray and their water in the CUP. So, you know . . . they could drink out of the cup like you and I would.



This Quick And Easy Dill Refrigerator Pickles recipe was my entry into the world of food blogging. Pickles count as food, right? Boiling water was involved.



I had been lusting after some vintage seed boxes I had seen around the internet. This DIY Vintage Seed Box tutorial is how I saved $100 by making my own.



My Painted Mason Jar Halloween Craft was so easy it barely warranted a tutorial.



And while we're using mason jars, what about Cloved Clementines in a jar as a hostess or teacher gift for the holidays.



Or Mason Jar Christmas Luminarias? I tell you, 2014 was the year of the mason jar and thermos in my house!



Oops, I think that was eleven. I may need to work on counting in 2015!

ETA: My Top Ten Gardening Posts For The Year is up.
