Toddler-Friendly Felt Christmas Tree.

Toddler = pint-size dictator with the uncanny ability to push you towards utter insanity (theStir). I am NOT putting up a real tree with electricity and string lights. 🙂 Instead? This toddler-friendly Christmas tree.

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, […]

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 […]

You’ll never meet a rat with a better adventure than this one.

Well, the cook book thing has happened more than once. And even when it doesn’t, it ends up looking like […]

How to get a 7-month old to write letters

We love sending hand-written letters to people! Only problem: my 7 month old baby is just not that great at it yet. Or maybe she is. She just needs a little help. What she is super great at, is knowing when my phone camera is on. It’s a skill, I’ll never understand. Anyway, we wanted […]

For those times when you are REALLY grateful.

Sometimes someone does something for you that is huge and super and wonderful, and it makes your life even more awesome. And when they do it, you want to tell them thanks, but that Hallmark card just ain’t gonna cut it. What do you do? I’ll tell you what you do. You make an expandable […]

Forest Animals – Check out the skunk fumes

As you may well know, I’m a sucker for every kind of craft. Okay, well, I’ve given up on scrap-booking, because, well, there just isn’t enough time to do every kind of craft. But lately I LOVE creating fabric patterns. I’ve done a zombie monster pillow and a baby alphabet career book. But my latest […]
