My teen girl has started the whole shaving of the legs thing. It’s a bit traumatic. And there is a learning curve involved … like how the razor needs to move from ankle to knee, and not the other way around. I keep promising to get her some shaving cream. How it will make […]
Stenciled Glass
I fully realize this stenciled glass project is not using mason jars. I’m pretty sure I can discern the difference between a mason jar and a wine bottle … well, as long as I haven’t had a glass … or two … of wine. But when I spotted these stenciled glass wine bottles on […]
Nail Polish Mason Jar Art
A few months back I spotted this nail polish “painting” idea. But it’s not really painting in the true sense of painting … and it certainly isn’t the way you would use nail polish to paint your finger nails. Or toes. And I pinned this idea with the idea of trying it out […]
Marble Look Mason Jar

Topped off with some green and white baker’s twine. The gold shamrock jar would be a perfect pot of gold filled with some gold candy […]
Gold Dinosaur Topped Jars
My friend Elena at ‘a casarella’ was wondering if the whole painting of plastic animals was overdone in blog land. And to that I say no …. no, no, no, and no! I can’t get enough of this trend. Especially when said painted animal – or dinosaur, in this case – sits atop […]

Deer Silhouette Jars
The snow is melting. The temperatures are rising. And I can almost smell Spring in the air … … almost. Okay, that’s a bit too hopeful. I live in Chicago after all. And it’s still February. I’m pretty sure we still have more snow in our future. But a girl can dream. […]
Inside-Out Painted Jars
I’m often asked about what color I use to paint the insides of my painted and distressed mason jars. Ummmm … none. I can see why people ask when I look at the photographs. Because the distressed spots look so dark. Like I painted the insides black. But I don’t. It just looks […]
