Every year Michelle puts an ornament on the tree with her children’s pictures, commemorating that year with a date and pic. This year I used our basic Christmas Tree Applique Block to make the personalized Christmas Tree Picture Ornaments. Make one for each of your children. Because there is a pocket on the back for …

Thanksgiving is behind us and ahead “looms” Christmas. Sounds rather ominous, doesn’t it? If you are responsible for preparing a holiday meal, especially if it is your first attempt, the thought of “messing it up” can be daunting. Below is a story I shared November 13, 2007 on my recently retired blog One Generation to …
This isn’t exactly the time of year I’d feel inspired to design a Firefly Applique Block, BUT we got a request from one of our readers. Seems her wee one LOVES fireflies and she wanted to craft something using a firefly applique pattern, and since we didn’t have one… well, let’s just say we do now …

I know there are some of you that flat out refuse the think about Christmas until after the last Thanksgiving dinner plate has been dried and put away. If that describes you, you’ll probably go absolutely ballistic when I start talking about the Post Holiday’s Blues. It’s January. You’ve just packed away the last of …

This week’s Unplugged Challenge theme Fluffy inspired us to do two different crafts. Here is the first one… Wet Felted Wool Gingerbread Men Ornaments. I will be sharing the second activity later this week. We started by digging through some of Gammy’s large bags of Wool Roving. We then tracked down some gingerbread men cookie …
When I was a little girl, one of my favorite things about the Holidays was baking with my mother. She loved… nah, loves… to bake, and the Christmas cookie platter in our house was always overflowing with the most delectable variety of cookies imaginable. Some of the recipes were hand-me-downs from the family. Some were …
I was hoping to get more “words” done today, but alas, I didn’t. Tim cut out and sanded a stack of blocks for me… enough to write a novel if I’m so inclined 🙂 I did get a chance to write up the instructions. They are very easy to make and this is a craft …
