The Winners are Nicole One Hook and Meghan G! Submitted by Nicole One Hook (not verified) on Wed, 04/06/2011 – 10:47. What a difficult choice!

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 …
Heifer International
EDIT: We’ve had a few people ask how long this fundraiser is going to run so thought there might be other people interested. We are running it until Easter Sunday, April 24. So, if you’d like to work on contributing as a family, or if you’d like to become a team member and collect …
Eight Years and Two Days
At eight years and two days old… Bug finally lost his first tooth. An event we weren’t sure was ever going to happen… although our dentist assured us his x-rays look great and the adult teeth would at some point show themselves. I guess it stands to reason that it took so long for his …
My Shalom Cardigan
This past week I got a chance to make myself the ever popular Shalom Cardigan. Working in bulky yarns made this a quick knit and the twisted rib yoke made it interesting while still being an easy pattern. Colorwise, I wanted a fairly neutral sweater that would work with khakis or jeans but had a bit of …
After Dinner Dancing
There is a ritual that has developed in our house. During dinner clean-up the girls want to have a dance party. This probably developed due to that fact that my husband and I both tend to turn on loud music while cleaning. So while the plates are being cleared someone ends up in charge of …
Butterfly Diamond Scarf
My mom has this thing for scarves and shawls. Once the temperature dips below 70 degrees (not kidding) she starts layering them on. She can be seen wearing 2 or 3 at a time… in the house. Mocking aside… for Christmas a couple years ago I bought her a beautiful, hand carved wooden shawl pin. …
Scrappy Shirts from the Top
It seems like all things knit these days are being done from the top down… or at least I’m drawn to all the patterns that have been done that way. My Ravelry Favorites list is packed with top down projects. I’ve even been tempted to purchase a few patterns… but can’t actually bring myself to …

Help! Gluten Free Recipes Needed & Yummy Gluten-Free Peanut Butter Cookies
Well, it is official. We finally went through all the testing with Fairy, and on top of her already known lactose intolerance, we found out that she cannot eat gluten either. For the past few weeks we have been experimenting, and sadly, we’ve tried some seriously awful things. Really! So, this is my call for help… I know …
Fairy’s First Quilt
Fairy got the coolest sewing machine from Santa this year. I’m a tad jealous myself and have been borrowing it for all my little projects recently. 😉 Unlike the toy or children’s sewing machines we have tried in the past this Sewing Pretty with Hello Kitty by Janome is a REAL machine… just slightly smaller …
Paper Mache Puppets Part Three: Adding Hair
It is time to finish your puppet and put on a show! Choose the yarn you would like to use for your puppet and a book that is between 8-10" wide (or wider if you would like longer hair). Wrap the yarn around the book keeping in nicely lined up. When you get it about …
