I Used 1/4 Teaspoon Breast Milk to Make a ‘Thank You!’ Greeting Card
I’m a little nervous to put this into the universe, but it’s so awesome, I have to. Go easy, haters. I learned that you can paint beautiful things with milk. And since I love making prints without a computer, I was totally going to do it. Then my genius hubs said “Would it work with breast […]

World Continents. In Felt. For Toddlers or Ignorant Adults.
We know the continents! And we’ve color-coded this set to Montessori. My girls love putting up the labels and continents on the big blue ocean. Did you know felt sticks to felt so nicely? Just the right amount of hold to stay, and not fall, but loose enough that they can easily move around. DIY […]
I Scoured the internet to Find a Clean Toddler Activity. Pinterest laughed.
In some weird happening of the universe, baby and I had 4 hours yesterday with NOTHING pressing to do!

The pinterest Gods laughed. […]

Beautiful Homemade Crafty Granola. Even the packaging.
“I want to try your ‘granola bars’ aka cookies,” said my lil bro Jake. As my family kindly points out, I can’t just do things simply – throw some on a plate and call it good. Oh no. I have to make a cute little box to package them in, wrap them individually. You know, […]
The Nicest Wildcat.
In the latest Wildcat, we missed a little stat about a guy who won a national championship in 1968. Instead of getting angry, Darol called us out in a joking manner, and said he expects a full reprint with his beautiful mug on the cover. He sent the picture to be included, haha. Can’t say no to […]
How to never ever ever ever get a flat bike tire again.
This should really go on the blog “Em’s DAD is crafty.” He’s the brains behind this operation. 🙂 I went on a bike ride, got a flat. Again. Fixed it again. Took it for a test drive. Came back with 2 flats. *#()$*&. So done with flat tires. The expert offered his help, I accepted. How […]

Upcycled Soda Can Earrings – DIY
Baby got HFMD last week. 🙁 She was miserable, and I quarantined her to the house. No family reunion for us, which meant a little time for crafting. I’ve always had a hard time finding cute red earrings. So I wanted to make some. My wardrobe consists of a lot of purple, because of my […]
Sketching sketchy sketches
And I really do mean sketchy. I’ve been attending sketchbook skool, and learning tons of great stuff form artists like Tommy Kane, Jane Lefazio (omg, what a character!), and more. So tell me world, how can I improve my skills? In particular, the people’s faces. The one is so bad, I can’t even post the […]
