For fun Halloween decorations, make these Hanging Fabric Ghosts to haunt your home. We created these Hanging Fabric Ghosts to go along with this week’s Unplugged Challenge theme: white. I’m sure I’m not the only one who took the theme white and combined it with upcoming Halloween and thought… hmmm ghosts. We did a stiff …
I just finished up a Treasure Pouch for myself. The kids told me I needed my own so I stopped using theirs. I like to collect acorns too, you know. My mom had made all the kiddos their pouches so this was my first completed pouch. I used a pair of old jeans for the …
Once a month we are going to be making quilt squares to highlight some of the fun things we are learning about this year to go along with our Harvest Time unit. We will each be making one 10″ x 10″ square every month and then at the end of the school year we will …
This week’s Unplugged Challenge theme was fruit. We have been doing so many things with apples over the past few weeks (you can scroll through my past blog postings to see more of our apple activities) it was hard to choose the one thing I wanted to label as our Unplugged activity. I decided to …

We spent the morning at Gammy’s yesterday and took advantage of her seemingly endless supply of art materials (this time rummaging through her entire box of stamp pads). We made our apple prints to go along with our Harvest Time Week Four, Johnny Appleseed theme. This was a very easy craft! All we did was …

For this week’s Unplugged Challenge theme hard we made primitive folk art style Barnyard Animal Toys. When we first found out the theme last week, I asked the …
Look at what I’m working on for my nephews for Christmas. Aren’t they cute? These are actually the ones my mom made last year for my kiddos. She got the original kit from Morehouse Farm and we have made several since. I don’t have a photo of mine atm (it isn’t far enough along to …
It has been another perfectly beautiful fall day. We got out to apple orchard to get in our wagon ride pulled by a tractor. Of course we had to pick apples, watch the cider press and eat lots of hot, fresh doughnuts too. With all these apples we now have on hand… I may pull …
Here is a fun, quick handprint craft project that can add to your spooky Halloween decor. Make your own recycled wax handprint sand candles. This afternoon we made handprint sand candles using the kids hand/foot prints. They were really easy and we used recycled materials… so it was a free craft too. Recycled Handprint …
This past weekend we celebrated… but today is the big day. With the oh-so common Mommy Bittersweet feelings that always seem come with birthdays, I welcome my youngest munchkin to the age of two. My dear little Pixie girl, Happy Birthday!
This week’s Unplugged Challenge theme was Sand. We made sand candles using the kids hand/foot prints. They were really easy and we used recycled materials… so it was a free craft too. First I collected up a bunch of random votive candles. I seem to have them in mass, but seldom actually use them. I …
