We had our very first bout of spring last week and it was marvelous. It really made me realize that spring is truly right around the corner and my thoughts are drifting to warmer days, green grass and all of the beautiful flowers. We are so excited for the first blooms of the spring. We…
Christmas Art for Kids
It’s official – we have had snow! I just love the first snow. It means that Christmas is on it’s way (or Halloween, depending on the year … but this year – Christmas!) I wrote about Christmas crafts for kids last year that are super cute and fun for little ones to make. This year…
The Warmest Yarn Crafts for Kids!
Good grief it is cold outside! It was just about this time last year when I shared my most controversial yarn craft for kids – our yarn bombed chair turned dollhouse. Yes, I do tend to go a bit loopy in the winter (and heaven help me by March – that was when the chickens…
A Blossoming Spring Craft for Kids!
Winter is over! As much as I strive to enjoy each day and try to welcome the rhythm of the seasons – Winter is a tough season for me … the grey, the wet, the cold, the cold …. the cold. But Spring is officially here! We are beginning the time of year when it…
45 Gorgeous Gifts Kids Can Make
I remember being little and creating sweet homemade gifts to give to my friends and family. I want my children to learn all about this too. The idea of creating something using nothing but a few crafts supplies, lots of time, and loads of love. That is what gift giving is all about! I started…

Loofa Snowmen!
I do believe I have found the recipe for getting my creativity flowing. The key seems to be a glass of wine and a shower (Don’t worry – I shower at night, so the wine is reasonable). I tell you – SO many inspired crafts come to me in the shower. Actually, I would love…
Embossed Tin Leaves
The cold weather has settled here in my neck of the woods. Well, it settled a few weeks ago and then vanished and summer returned! But it is back again, and this time I do believe it will stay. We are in fact having that early Fall weather that includes layering up and starting the…
A Pumpkin Pinwheel
Did you know that I am afraid of horses? Well, maybe not afraid – but I am definitely nervous around them. They are so humongous. Once I was at a horseback riding camp when I was little and I got stepped on. My toe was purple for years and years! A purple toe for years…
Sticking It to Fall Crafts!
The fall crafting is alive and well friends – though around these parts it sure doesn’t feel at all like Fall. We have been having record breaking hot days! It’s like Mother Nature remembered that she forgot to give us summer and is making up for lost time. When we are not out in the…
