My mom bought a basket full of this yarn (Lorna’s Laces Green Line Dk which has been sadly discontinued), with no real project in mind. I’ve been stealing skeins of it (shhh) here and there to make some Christmas tree garland. It is a simple 4sts I-Cord. The quick rainbow color switches work up beautifully …
In my kids’ minds, you don’t get to claim a new age on your birthday until you blow out the candles on your cake. Apparently, it is the actual act of blowing out the candles that makes your birthday official. Bug would not let Fairy call herself six years old this year until the day …
Any child that can hold a pair of scissors can help make this Paper Poinsettia Wreath. Even younger children can help with the gluing. The end result is lovely and would make a special gift for grandmas and grandpas! Paper Poinsettia Wreath Materials and Supplies: red, pink and green construction paper used cardboard from …
This week’s project was building a gingerbread house. My kids were very excited to get started on this one. We braved the bitter cold and went out to buy a gingerbread form kit (ie the cookie cutters shaped to make perfect sides), but inadvertently I ended up with a pre-baked kit. What can I say, …

I realize that I shared a Poinsettia Applique Block a few weeks ago. Basically, for that block I simply took the poinsettia I made for the Christmas Poinsettia Garland and “flattened” it. I think I would have preferred the applique block better if I had 2 more contrasting felts, but I know our readers make their …
The complete list of our Advent Celebration activities can be found HERE. Poinsettias and candy canes, mangers and evergreen trees are all symbols that have come to be associated with Christmas. Some symbols are pulled from history, others from fantasy, and some have been borrowed from other celebrations. Just like learning about how Christmas is …
For a long time now I’ve been meaning to turn some of our applique blocks into coloring pages. Well, today when Michelle and the wee ones were over, Pixie was looking for something “crafty” to do, as Pixie often does, and I thought this week’s Primitive Angel Block would be a great place to start. …
Today we are sharing our family’s Angel Wings Recipe, otherwise known as Chrusciki. Christmas is a time for not only making memories but for remembering. Certainly, when we look back on Christmases past, we are sure to conjure up some memories of food. In just about every conceivable celebration, you will find food. Not surprising… food sustains …
Next to the Nativity Scene, angels are probably the most common religious symbol of the Christmas season. Many Christmas songs refer to them: Hark the Hearld Angels Sing, Angels We Have Heard on High, Angels From the Realms of Glory and It Came Upon a Midnight Clear, just to name a few. During this first …
NOTE: Since we are reading the book The Littlest Angel for Advent this week, it seemed very appropriate to share this Wool Roving Angel now! I can’t remember a time in my life when I wasn’t crafting. Whether I was knitting… I learned very early thanks to Grandma Pearl… or sewing clothes for dolls and …
Note: Although I plan to use these candle holders as our Advent Wreath, using 3 purple candles and 1 pink candle, it can be simply used as candle holders, as pictured here. Many years ago… probably 25… we had made an Advent Wreath. I wanted something that could be used throughout the coming years …
