I don’t think I’ve told you all that I’m going to SNAP! Conference this spring! It will be my first blogging conference, and I am wriggling with excitement over it. Something I didn’t realize came along with being a registered SNAP! attendee is the opportunity to work with great brands on advertising campaigns. Today I {…Continue Reading}
I’m posting over at The Girl Creative with a super simple transformation of one of those Melissa & Doug wooden trays into an organizer for my sewing table. ** Edited ** Looks like my post at The Girl Creative will be live on October 22nd. Be sure to check it out then!
Today I’m over at Growing Up Gabel sharing this quick and easy handmade coloring book I made for Arden. She loves to color the “girlies” I draw for her, and this was an easy way to make a whole bunch at once. I think you could do this to make personalized grocery lists, memo pads, {…Continue Reading}
Arden has gained full proficiency on lacing cards, so I thought it was time to introduce her to a new challenge: potholders! I posted a little glimpse in my OMG Skillet Apple Pie post, saying: “We have a family tradition of making potholders – I used to make them and my Mom made them and {…Continue Reading}
Not only is today Valentine’s Day – it is the 6th anniversary of our First Date! Sort of an accidental Valentine’s date; I was dating somebody else but knew it wasn’t headed anywhere and accepted Dave’s invitation for coffee. Coffee led to dinner, and dinner led to drinks. I broke up with the other guy {…Continue Reading}
I think this is one of those projects that I liked better in theory than I am in practice. It’s just not getting the wow factor I was looking for – I think it needs more dimension, or some jute or ribbon to give it more texture. Anyways, here’s what I did: I Mod Podge’d {…Continue Reading}

I don’t have any fun projects completed to post, so I’ll just do a quick wrap up of what’s been going on. We broke ground – literally – on our garage reconstruction. On Thursday, they took out the old slab, dug for the footings, and put in the foundation walls. We’re using a treated lumber {…Continue Reading}
Lately I’ve seen several tours of craft rooms, and I have to admit just a teensy bit of jealousy. But that being said, I’m pretty pleased to finally have a spot that is just mine to do whatever crafting or sewing I want. Previously, I would haul out my Mom’s circa 1960 New Home sewing {…Continue Reading}
I can’t take any credit for this one since my Mom made it years ago and gave it to me when they moved to Florida full-time. I get it out every year, and I think it’s great! You’ll need a doormat with a prominent grid pattern. The design could be borrowed from a simple cross {…Continue Reading}
