My husband is in charge of the teenage boys at our church.  Everyone knows the way to a boy’s heart (or in this case, attention span) is through his stomach.  So, we bribe reward them with homemade cookies each week. I’ve been stuck in a cookie rut- making the same five recipes over and over.  So, […]

I wonder if any other craft bloggers will relate to what happened when I showed my boys the cute marshmallow valentines I created. They were, um, less than enthused to give them to their classmates and suddenly spouted out ideas of their own.  I could have gotten upset and insisted they use what I made, but […]

Painting the kitchen got us in a painting mood. I was inspired by a blog post at Show and Tell to convert our boring sheet mirror in the bathroom into something a little more classy by adding molding as a frame. We had some mis-steps along the way, but eventually it turned out great. Well, […]

Oh, Michaels, you, one of my  favorite stores…. this time you let me down. We booked a party for my daughter there (which was a bad experience all in itself).  When we arrived to set up, no one knew we were coming. It was a bit of chaos, and the party room was a disaster. […]

I want to take a minute to thank you for voting in the So You Think You’re Crafty competition.  I didn’t make it into the finals, but I made it a lot further than I thought I would- and I know that is thanks to my friends and followers!   I got voted out the […]

I may have mentioned once or twice that I’m not that great at sewing.  I took Sewing 101 in high school, but it’s been a LONG TIME since I learned all those skills. I’ve been wanting to make/recover some throw pillows for my bed.  And I really wanted to try an envelope back, rather than […]
