As I walked through the aisles at the store the other day I enjoyed all the fun, colorful Easter baskets, fake grass and eggs. Then I cringed at all the candy. Loads, and loads of sweets. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE sweets. I send treats to family and clients, and I eat chocolate on…
Make a Felt Board for Fun Learning
I am super excited about my latest project, a DIY Felt Story Board. I’m even more excited that Kayden seems to love it too! We were playing with it today and she was so proud, “Mommy look at my picture! Look at my picture!” Needless to say, Mommy was proud too. =) Plus, that might…
Super Sweet Snail Mail
I love mail. Love it. Getting the mail is one of the highlights of my day. Not sure why…as if I’m expecting a Publisher’s Clearing House letter that says I won a million dollars, but they come to your door so that idea is out. And most anything that I am expecting that is of…

Tuna Slop
It’s no secret I like to slop things together. When I sew I hate using patterns, when I craft I like to just go to it, and when I cook I don’t always use measuring cups. Except when I bake from scratch (which isn’t very often); I’m pretty sure accurate measurements are important when baking….

Big News for Jack!
If you were here yesterday you remember the conversation I had with Jack. I told him if he could be patient I’d start working on a life-size Sally to join him. He was THRILLED to say the least. He immediately ran down to my workshop to see what he could do to help speed up…
