Posted by Valerie Earnest I have this problem. I have a major sweet tooth. Major. I have another problem. My husband is the bishop of our church– and that means that during the holidays, dozens of members of our congregation drop of plates and bags of goodies. We get fudge, brownies, cookies, pies, candy, and […]
Posted by Valerie Earnest You know how you scroll through linky parties and bookmark all the projects you’d like to make? Or maybe you see something in a store and say “I could make that”! Then, if you’re anything like me, you get so many projects in your to-do list that you just don’t get […]
Posted by Valerie Earnest I was browsing the jewelry at Charming Charlie’s and happened upon a version of this design on a onesie. I immediately thought “How cute!” My second thought- “I could make that!” So, I came home and gave it a try. Here’s how I made it. 1. Start with a plain old […]

Posted by Laura McBride You’ve probably noticed a theme in my posts by now. I am cheap frugal. When you are a crafter, it can be a serious addiction! Having a wreath for every season, a decoration for every holiday and times in between can be expensive. So I do my best to stay in control […]
Posted by Valerie Earnest I’m getting hooked on washi tape. It’s really kind of adorable, and there are so many fun things you can do with it. I am trying to resist the urge to buy one of every color and pattern I see. Target even has some. Did you know that? I found black […]

Posted by Valerie Earnest My oldest son turned 4 on Saturday. To celebrate, we threw a pirate party. But it couldn’t be just a pirate party- it had to be a “Jake and the Neverland Pirates” pirate party. If you don’t know, this is a brand-new show from Disney Jr. It’s so new there is […]
Posted by Valerie Earnest When we started our family, I wanted to make a stocking for each of my children. The only problem was, I didn’t know how to make one. I didn’t knit or crochet, and at the time I hadn’t sewed in years. Then, one day online, I came across Bucilla’s Felt Stocking […]
