Do it yourself projects -
by Happy in the Hills

Sometimes we have a plan
Other times we make it up as we go!

A project that took us a lot of time to do,
but we like the outcome.

The meaning of DO-IT-YOURSELF is the activity of doing or making something (as in woodworking or home repair) without professional training or assistance.

At Happy in the Hills we take on many Do it Yourself projects. Some go as planned, many do not – life intersects with these projects often. Here we highlight and share our lessons learned, failures, aspirations and successes. Our hope is to share in a way that keeps us humanized and may inspire you along the way, too!

Outdoor Projects

Many of the outdoor focused projects we do only during months where there is not snow or other adverse weather.

Indoor Projects

We try to concentrate on indoor focused projects mainly during the winter months, but are often found starting something before we have finished another.

Crazy But Needful Projects

A crazy selections of dreams, or other crazy projects that we are entertaining and may accomplish or may not. Dream, Dream, Dream!
