One of our family’s autumn traditions is enjoying a day at the Renaissance Festival.

Although Daddy had to work this year, we convinced Gammy and Othy to join us in the …

This project is far from done, but thought I’d share what I’ve done so far. To begin with, I want these sticks for my …
Forgive me Madonna for hijacking your song but… “You know that we are living in a digital world, and I am a digital girl.” Obviously, I spend a hefty chunk of each day using digital devices. Running our Wee Folk Art blog and Facebook page, means I’m at my computer a lot. Also, I do download …
In Michelle’s home, Friday is baking day and it is incorporated into their school day. This Friday, Pixie wanted to make Blueberry Crisp. Blueberries are Pixie’s all-time favorite… well, maybe strawberries… actually, it’s probably a tie! Anyway, Friday was baking day, and Pixie wanted to come to Gammy’s house to bake. Whenever I cook with …
