Dog Coats and Boots for Dogs Who Hate Wearing Clothes
Lacey, our snow warrior princess loves to romp and play in the snow. Her dachshund side goes into overdrive. She investigates every little foot print, crack, or hole in the snow when she goes outside and take care of business.
Being part Cavalier King Charles Spaniel means her natural fur dog coat is longer than a barley there dachshund’s but Lacey doesn't last very long in low winter temperatures, nor should she when the temperatures are so dangerously low.
Girlfriend needs a winter dog coat.
Too bad my dog hates to wear a dog coat.

DIY Glass Bead Valentine’s Day Wreath
I’m doing something different this winter. I get a case of the blues most winters after I put away our Christmas décor. The inside of the house is almost as colorless as the overcast gray winter days outside and will stay that way until everything starts blooming in the spring.
I’m trying something new and adding a bit of color to the house by decorating for Valentine’s Day.
I found a metal heart shaped wreath form at Joann’s. I used that as my inspiration and with a little upcycled fabric and a whole bunch of glass vase fillers (also called glass craft rounds) I made a heart shaped Valentine’s Day wreath.

Even better the metal wreath form is sturdier and less likely to break than the not so eco friendly foam wreath forms. Yay!

Organize Your Garage in Three Easy Questions
Welcome to my nightmare.
I have even more people telling me I should create/build/buy garage organizers like the kind they like. I appreciate the helpful suggestions. But I have some of those suggested organizers and they aren’t working for me right now.
I need to learn how to determine how to organize my workshop and garage according to my habits and organizing style first before I go crazy installing the slat wall of my dreams or whatever.

17 Resources that will Motivate You to Declutter and Organize
Winter is a great time to get organized. Since most of us are stuck inside because of the snow and the cold and a little restless, why not use that energy to clean and organize the post Christmas carnage in my craft room, right?
