Check your calendar - Time for a Craft Stash Swap (and a give-away)


If you're in the Hampton Roads area, mark your calendar for Saturday, November 20th.

I'll be having my first Craft Stash Swap at my home.

What's a Craft Stash Swap?

It's a party where everyone brings their extra craft supplies -  fabric, yarn, stamps, paper, stencils, patterns, craft books, anything crafty - to trade or share with others. 

As you can see, I have a lot of craft supplies.  I'm getting ready to redo my craft room, adding more work surface and better storage, so I want to weed out items I no longer use.  I have several stamp sets, hard cover craft books, and pieces of nice fabric.  I also have craft storage containers to share.


Any items left over after the sale will be donated (unless you want to take it back home with you - which your professional organizer highly discourages). 

Here are the details:
What:  1st annual Craft Stash Swap
Where:  Brown Wren Acres
When:  Saturday, November 20th  at 2:00 pm

Email me with your RSVP and I'll give you my address and directions if you need them.    I'll provide some yummy "Fallish" goodies and we'll have a great time. 
                                

 Also, I am almost to 100 followers.  I'll be having a "give away"  when that wonderful moment happens!  Spread the word about Tidy Brown Wren so we can get there faster.  I'm preparing a lovely seasonal basket to give to someone special.

How To Make Your Own Exercise Bike For Next To Nothing

Remember back in April when I had a kidney transplant?  Well, the kidney is doing great (thanks, Cathy , for taking such good care of it when you owned it).  There was one little glitch, however.  During surgery, the retractors they used caused some nerve damage in my right leg.  When I woke up from surgery, I couldn't move or feel my leg.  The docs felt like the feeling would come back but the paralysis had them stumped.  A visit to a neurologist ruled out a stroke and a CT scan showed some fluid which was pressing on L4 and L5 (medical talk which means I couldn't feel or move part of my leg).  The prognosis is good and I'm recovering pretty quickly.  In fact, I've left my cane behind and I'm walking freestyle without falling.  My next goal is to be able to drive. I've been itching to get back to exercising (physical therapy doesn't count) because my medication causes me to gain weight and I need to burn some calories.  Running? - nope.  Walking? - can&

A Designer's Secret For A Taller Bed

  Several years ago Hubs and I spent almost a year looking for a bedroom set that we both loved.  He wanted clean lines and dark wood.  I wanted curves and a "tall" bed.  Of course, there was no perfect bedroom set but we were able to compromise on a set that we both liked.  My main wish was for a bed that I could "climb up into".  The problem with that wish was that most of the "tall" beds were four poster beds and Hubs was not in the mood for that.  We found a Thomasville bed on display at a local furniture store and it fit the clean lines that Hubs wanted and it was "tall"  enough to suit me.  The problem was that once we received the bed we ordered in our home, it wasn't as tall as I had remembered it being.  My heart sunk!  I went back to the furniture store to look at the display.  Their bed was much taller than our bed.  Hmmm. . . what was different? I got nosey and lifted up the comforter on the bed.  It revealed their secret

Plans For A DIY Exercise Bike Stand

  Thank you to so many of you who emailed me about plans for the DIY Exercise Bike Stand .  I apologize that it has taken me so long to get the measurements to you, but they are finally here!   The wood was purchased at Home Depot and the bike pegs were purchased at Walmart in the bike section.    The bike we used for this project is a 24" 12 speed bike (I'm a shorty).  I used the hardest gear while riding, but this set-up does not allow you to really get much resistance (for building muscle).  It was great for getting my legs moving after some nerve damage.  I also wanted to burn calories and get my heart rate up and this did the trick.    If you have any questions, just shoot me an email.
