We were up North visiting family for the weekend and I felt quite like my Mother. My Mom would always (always) be knitting away when we went on long car rides, and this car ride I was doing just that. Now, there is one humongous difference of course. My Mom is an experienced and excellent…

DIY Light Table that is easier than easy to make!
I had been thinking about making a DIY light table for years. Literally years. I am not sure why I wasn’t making it, really – they look so cool – and I found some super easy tutorials online too. But for years we remained a light table-less family. Sigh. Those poor deprived kiddos of mine….

Crafts, Lotions, and Potions that will have you running for Beeswax
I did something over the weekend that I thought I would never do again. I made soap. Sounds simple, but goodness that Lye makes me nervous. But I did it. I conquered my fear, I tried it again, and guess what? The second time was not nearly as bad. Only moderately terrifying. Perhaps next time…
