A Peek at Pippin
After due consideration, I decided to make a bunny doorstop for several reasons; it got the most votes, it is seasonal, it is both a barnyard and woodland creature, and finally, and probably most importantly, Pixie wanted a bunny 🙂 Due to widespread family illness, I actually had a Sunday with nothing planned. So I was …
Heifer Project Site Problems
If you have been following our progress on Wee Folk Art Team Heifer, you will notice that a few days ago our contributions dropped down to $145.00! We contacted Heifer via email and they said that there records reflect only $145.00 was donated! I donated another $10.00 myself last night to test the system and the site …
A Belated St. Patrick’s Day Photo
EDIT: Thanks to one and all for your suggestions. Now Mommy and Daddy are now armed with lots of ideas. The Little Lady will definitely be appreciative 🙂 Look what I just received… the Little Lady sitting up in her St. Patty’s garb. The green certainly brings out the red tones in her checks …
A Sad Tale… With a Happy Ending
Yesterday Pixie was busy drawing a picture. When she was done, she proudly showed it to me. Gammy: Come sit on my lap and tell me about your picture. Pixie: This is the grass, this is the sky, and this is the kitty. Gammy: That looks like a very happy little kitty. (I made this …
Making Music
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 …
Doorstops Revisited

Although those are amoung the most popular patterns, the most frequently visited patterns are for our Doorstop Cat, Dog and Owl. Meet Jasper, our …
A Little More Art
All the Waldorf art talk on the blog recently has inspired me to pull out the art supplies a bit more this week. My older two kiddos have been enrolled in an art program at our co-op this year and I will admit that we haven’t done as many family art projects at home lately …

The Box The Toy Came In
We have all experienced this at one time or another. We buy our child the perfect gift, whether it is a new playhouse or their first tricycle. We follow the directions and assemble it with love and care, and perhaps a few colorful euphemisms for the uncooperative wrench. When we are done, and the gift …
