It’s sheer magic when a child begins making music for the first time. Fairy just got a new violin yesterday. She will be starting lessons in the fall, but she was anxious to “meet” her new friend 🙂 She has been watching videos of orchestras playing and you can just see the reverence in her …
A Table in need of Fluffing! I am a functioning claustrophobic. Not only do I have trouble with tight places, I also have trouble with constrictive clothes, and God forbid if my ring gets stuck on my finger!

After the responses we received about Gluten Free Living, it just didn’t seem like enough to leave a "thank you" comment.

As I was trying to finish up a project I wanted to share on Wee Folk Art tomorrow, …
I first shared this post on my original blog, One Generation to Another back on October 30, 2007. Sometimes after I’ve wiped down the “stickies” in the kitchen after the grandbabies have been helping me, I like to reread this post. I always smile. I hope it speaks to you, too. One of the greatest gifts my …
I remember as a little girl going through my mom’s and grandma’s drawers. I can’t remember if I was given permission to do this or if it was a covert operation done on the sly. What I can remember was how fascinated I was with the contents of their drawers. There were bras and merry …
I love it when I get to craft for Bug. It seems like there are so many different things you can make for girls… headbands and barrettes, skirts and bracelets. Coming up with ideas for boys that actually excites them is a bit more challenging. I mentioned before I bought the awesome book Fairy Tale …
