  • Tiny Easter Crafts

    This is the first of 8 little Easter baskets I'm making.  Love those fuzzy chicks!  These photos were taken out in the snow drift that's currently disguising my front yard. For the last couple weeks I've been collecting small treasures from Etsy & Michaels in preparation for all kinds of spring time craftiness. Vintage metal

  • Valentines Leftovers

    Have you guys seen these foam kit things?  They seem to appear at Michael's for every holiday.  With absolutely no practical use, and not really being a piece of fine art you'd want to keep – I know I shouldn't want one.  They must appeal to the kid in me though, because I always find

  • Happy 2010

    An owl in a top hat, what could be more festive?  My daughter gave me these cute owl stamps for Christmas, so I've been stamping everything in sight.  🙂 Mostly what I've been busy with though, is compiling a book of my 2009 blog entries.  It's really nice to have a hard copy of everything

  • Little Witch

    Getting into the fall/Halloween mode here.  I'm going to make hair for her out of that pink wool roving.  Now, on to make a little cape. …and a bit later… Cape done!  A few details yet to come.  I know I've mentioned this before, but I always get nervous at this point in making a

  • Bees, birds, interesting connections & a wonderfully spooky story.

    The Jardin box on the bottom is the one I mentioned yesterday as the "before" of my project.   When I saw them at Michael's, I really loved the shape & they were a great $ deal.  {About $4 each I think?}  I knew the word on the box was French, but actually had to look
