State Studies :: Overview
I’m excited to tell you that we will be sharing our new Free Homeschool Companion Curriculum, State Studies Unit 1, on a weekly basis as we are working on the unit. After we have completed the unit I will go back and organized it all into a PDF format similar to our Harvest Time (and …
Wooden Flower Stacker
Several weeks ago we shared a tutorial for a SQUARE WOODEN STACKER. If you have never worked with wood before, the Square Wooden Stacker was a great project to cut your teeth on. I have to be honest, this Wooden Flower Stacker is a bit more challenging. There are lots of curves… LOTS… but if …

Please With A Cherry On Top Applique Block
As a child, if we wanted something really bad, we’d say, “Please with a cherry on top?” because who can resist a cherry on top? I know I can’t. I could eat an entire jar of maraschino cherries, but, oh, having just one on top makes just about any sweet treat all the more special! …

Although I learned much of my crafting from Grandma Pearl, I did not share her enthusiasm for button bracelets. Jump forward a number of years, …

I started this post last week when we were blessed with some much appreciated sunshine. Fortuitously the sun just so happened to make an appearance the same day that we were already scheduled to participate in a partially outdoor field trip at our local nature center. The kids spent some time in the classroom learning …

Cheaters Guide to Dying Wool Felt
I have a confession to make… I cheat. There, I said it. Oh, not in anything important like a game of Candyland with the wee ones or on my taxes, BUT, I’m always on the lookout for shortcuts. Sometimes, I’ve made some awesome discoveries that I use over and over again, other times I’ve experienced …
