Our little guy wanted to some crafting today but he wasn’t quite sure of what he wanted to make.  He was pretty sure he wanted to cut some paper though.  Using scissors and cutting stuff could easily be his favorite hobby right now.  So I figured we would build an easy project around that.  This […]

Halloween is just around the corner and while most people have been planning their costume for weeks, I have put very little thought into it.  I get way more excited planning what my toddler is going to be.  I’m usually stuck somewhere between wanting to show my Halloween spirit but wanting to wear clothes that […]

My little guy has just discovered the joy of the paper cutter.  He is only two, but cutting paper by sliding a “magic button” as he calls it is way more effective than his plastic kiddie scissors and maybe even a little safer as well.  Obviously I still hover over him while he uses it, […]

Fall is by far my favorite time of the year, so much so that I consider August to basically be pre-fall (cue pumpkin spice everything).  I love the weather, the clothes, the smells, the drinks involving whiskey and slow cooker recipes.  To me everything in fall just tastes better too.  On top of that I’m […]

Our little guy has always had a flair for letters.  I blame (maybe thank?) PBS and that pesky little show called Word World.  He has even dabbled in writing a few of those letters, although he is only two so its mostly O’s and I’s.  But for some reason his stubborn little personality has zero […]

When I was pregnant with my little guy I happened upon one of those mommy sites with a discussion board.  I randomly peeped in on a conversation about must have items for your new addition to the family.  Most items seemed pretty basic and nothing was really different from what I had already been told […]

The other day my little guy was watching an episode of Blues Clues and they were talking about story time and books.  By the end of the episode they had made up a story about the things they did that day while playing the game of Blues Clues.  For the rest of the day my […]

Out of all of the jewelry I have made, I definitely get the most compliments and questions about pieces made with paper beads.  The best part is that they are practically free to make and incredibly easy.  I once had someone that I didn’t know very well for our office Secret Santa and I made […]

I have a bit of a problem when it comes to hoarding craft supplies, especially fabric.  I can justify keeping even the tiniest shred left from a project.  Unfortunately its hard to organize scraps of fabric neatly, trust me I have tried.  I started searching the internet for ways to put scrap fabric to good […]
