Latest Update: 09/21/2015 Note: Policies can change. Please check back for changes đŸ™‚ As I sit here, faced with the task of updating our Frequently Asked Questions, I understand why legislators are so reluctant to update their state’s constitutions… it’s NOT FUN! But given the fact that we have evolved, grown and changed …
Paperclay Leaves – Part 1
Using just PaperClay and paint, you can create an autumn scene that will last for years! The clay has a natural white color, air dries, can be painted, and is non-toxic and acid free. Something that the wee ones can use with supervision. Before beginning, collect some leaves. You need to pick leaves that have well …
Awesome Knit Hat!
Drew, Meghan and the Little Lady are still visiting and our days have been busy, busy, busy. We’ve had lots of at home snuggle time, but we’ve also had many day trips. All of this has given me time to do some “just for fun” knitting. Luckily, Meghan is a knitter, too, so after Little …
A Day at the Cider Mill
What could be more wonderful than a cider mill in the fall? How’s about going to the cider mill with all 4 of my grandbabies! We had a wonderful day, although if I were splitting hairs, it could have been a tad bit cooler. Bug, Fairy and Pixie are enjoying their time with Little Lady. Last …
Reposting of our Handprint Sand Candles
We are on our way to our favorite apple orchard for a wagon ride, apple picking, and, of course, delicious cider and hot donuts. YUM! There is also a wonderful petting zoo and barnyard play area. Bug, Fairy and Pixie are looking forward to sharing the experience with Little Lady. While we are off doing that, we …
Revisiting our Gourd Ghost Sculpture
We have got out-of-town visitors for next two weeks. Drew, Meghan and the Little Lady are here, and as you can well imagine, my time will be spent with them, and there will be little time left for crafting đŸ™‚ Of course I will be sharing some pics of our adventures, and Michelle has more projects for the …
Burlap Hay Bundles
Tim often looks at me with this incredulous look on his face and asks, “How DOES your mind work?” I like to think he asks when he’s awed by my creative energy… chances are he asks when he’s considering having me committed! Anyway… when “creating”, there are 2 different approaches I take. First, there is …
A Peek at My Latest
Dressed in her finest, Gertrude and her family are ready to walk into town to celebrate with the villagers. They have spent the last 3 days preparing; washing and mending, gathering and baking. The children could speak of little else, and Gertrude, along with her husband, have shared tales of celebrations from their childhood. Now, they are ready to go! I am very …
Finished Funky Chair
Just 2 short weeks ago I shared my plans to turn a give-away chair into a “funky” master piece. I had a vision, but knew I tend to procrastinate on these types of projects. I decided if I announced my intentions here, I’d feel compelled to complete the project in a timely fashion. And, tah …
W.I.P.
Since I haven’t actually completed any project this week, thought I might share what I’ve been up to. First, I’ve been busy with my funky chair. And when I say funky, I really mean FUNKY! Here is a sneak peek of just a corner. Trust me, the whole chair is busy, busy, busy, but I’m …
Progress on the Funky Chair :)
I knew if I put the chair up on Wee Folk Art it would motivate me to get things done! Went out the same day and got some sweet fabric… We started by taking the old seat off. We then (btw… the “we” here refers to Tim and I, although mostly I took pics đŸ™‚ filled …
Future Funky Chair
I do not collect antiques, but I love the occasional discarded “find”. Like the other day… Tim and I were driving down the road, and I yelled “Tim, Stop”. Okay, I didn’t YELL stop, but I did say it with enough exuberance to make him think that if he didn’t, something cataclysmically bad might happen. …
