Tuesday Turn About #139 Spring Preparations
We are partying here at My Wee Abode! Tuesday Turn About #139 Spring Preparations has started!
TUESDAY TURN ABOUT #139 SPRING PREPARATIONS
Want some DIY inspo? Check out last week’s party!
Welcome to the party!
This week was so fun to look at all the spring inspiration, ideas, and tips! Here in So Cal, the weather is going back-and-forth and forth-and-back. Ninety degrees one week, then 60 degrees the next. I feel badly for those with allergies. 🙁
I threw out my back this weekend, and it’s taking a while to heal. A visit to the chiropractor may be in order. With that said, I’m going to make this post short and sweet so I’m not sitting at my desk any longer than my back can handle.
This week’s features include DIYs and projects that will start off your spring preparations.
Remember…
Be sure to hop on over to My Family Thyme and Reinvented Delaware to check out SIX additional features from TTA!
If you haven’t been featured at MWA this week, you just may be featured there!
First, let’s look at some tips.
Weekly Household Tip
Have you ever used a hairdryer to remove a stubborn label? I can’t believe I used this tip for the first time this week. There was a sticky-stuck label on my new refrigerator, so I pulled out my trusty hairdryer, heated the label, and slowly peeled it off. There was some residue left behind, but some olive oil and a lint free cloth took care of that!
Weekly Blogging Tip
When you are writing a tutorial for your readers, remember to write it FOR and TO them, not ABOUT you.
For example, when sharing how to sew a pillow cover, sometimes we naturally say, “First, I put the two pieces together. Next, I sewed them on the machine. Then, I turned it inside-out.” (Notice how this is written talking about “me” and what I did.)
Try writing the post for/to your readers. “First, you take two pieces of fabric and put them together. Next, you sew them on the machine. Then you turn the fabric inside-out.”
The difference will let your readers know they CAN do the project, instead of the them thinking, “Yeah, YOU can do it, but I don’t think I can.” 😉
Now, let’s get to the party!

Paint it White!
Don’t you love what a paint of coat can do? And when it’s white, it just elevates the item even more! Take a look at how Astrid from The Chipped Maus updated a couple of her home decor items… because YOU can do it, too!
Check out our Tuesday Turn About Link Party Pinterest board! All NINE featured posts are pinned to this board each week!
Let’s start sharing! Because this is a party, we encourage all who link up to visit several other bloggers who have linked as well – comments and pins are a great way to spread the love!
Before you get started, take a look at our guidelines:
- This party is for home decor and home-related posts only (recipes, organizing, DIY, crafts, etc.). Link up to 3 related posts. Please do not link up informational posts that do not relate to the topic.
- If you would please not link up shops, advertising, round-ups, other link parties, or any posts promoting sales, we would appreciate it.
- DO NOT PIN FROM IMAGES ON THIS PAGE (it just won’t work right on Pinterest). However, please visit the original post/source and pin from there. That works perfectly!
- Please make sure that your images are in a jpeg or png format. If we can’t save your image, we may not be able to feature you. So sad!
- By linking to the party, you give us permission to share your projects on our blogs and social media, with the use of ONE photo from your blog for that may be included in a pinnable collage. We will always give proper credit with a no-pin image.
It’s really such a blessing to have all the bloggers and readers join us each week! Can’t wait to see what you have for this party!
Hi Julie, hope you’re back is better soon; absolutely no fun! The hairdryer trick is a really good one. I learned that one when I was a antiques dealer. Some people just don’t get it, like putting stickers on old books, eeeeeck. Thanks so much for having us over, feel better!
I know… why put a sticker on a vintage book?! Crazy!
Oh ouch, so sorry Julie, I hope your back is healed up soon~ thanks so much for the party and your handy tips! Feel better…
Of course, Jenna! So good to see you!
Julie, I’m hoping your back gets better soon! Good tips for writing on a blog. I agree with Debra about stickers on books. Especially vintage books 🙁
Thanks for hosting 🙂
hugs,
Rachelle
Thanks, Rachelle. It’s a long haul this time. :-/
Thank you so much for the feature this week Julie, but I’m so sorry about your back. As the grand littles get bigger I’m feeling some back pains myself. Get better soon my friend!
Thanks, Michelle… yes… I’m having to be careful right now. No standing while holding the baby (who, by the way is SO good!) 😉

You are such a trooper my friend! So sorry about your back yet here you are hosting a party. I’d be totally worthless I’m afraid! Thanks so much for the party and the tips! They are always invaluable to me. Have a great week!
Thanks, Denise. Actually sitting straight in a chair really helps my back. Strange!
I love Aliya’s peg rail project. And this week’s blogging tip is genius and makes so much sense. Why didn’t I think of that? Thanks for sharing!
You are so sweet, Jen! Thank you for all the love! (and yes, love Aliya’s project!)
