Every year at this time Tim and I make plans for our yard. We always have a project or two or three or four just waiting for the nice weather, but no matter what other projects we do, we always take the time to make sure we are providing the best environment for our butterflies. …
April has long been a favorite month of mine. Although Spring “officially” begins in March, in our neck of the woods, April is truly the beginning of spring. There is that sense of rebirth that occurs each year, and as a child, you sense anything is possible. Plus, my birthday is in April, so it’s …
We are blessed to live in an area that has a million… perhaps a wee bit of an exaggeration… lakes and ponds. Also, we live in an area that has 4 very distinct seasons. And, as if that wasn’t all good enough, our area has a great many parks and wildlife areas that affords us …
When I was a child, we lived just shy of a mile away from school. Children that lived farther than a mile took a bus, but we walked to and from school every day. Of course, in inclement weather our moms would drive us, but many families did not have 2 cars, so moms car …
Close your eyes, make a wish and blow! I hope all your wishes and dreams come true! Today we are sharing our Birthday Cake Applique. Like all of our appliques, our Birthday Cake was made to fit on a 6″ x 6″ block but can be enlarged or reduced to meet your needs. I have …
Ah, Valentine’s Day. A day when we give sweets to all the sweeties in our lives. So, seems only fitting that our February Applique Blocks are a collection of sweet confections. We have a yummy cupcake, piled high with icing, and even a cherry on top. Then, a delicious ice cream cone just waiting to …
Today we are sharing our Winter Tree Applique Block. Although it may seem rather stark and boring, I can relate to our leafless winter trees, contently hibernating, yet at the same time preparing for their busy growing months that loom just around the corner. Like all of our applique blocks, our Winter Tree was made to …
There was no white Christmas this year. Those of us that live in the Northern United States, like Michigan, tend to feel cheated when our Christmases aren’t white. It’s what we’ve come to expect after all. It’s what “they” sing songs about, center movies around, and it is the quintessential scene on the vast majority …
Here is the fourth and final applique from the December Applique Blocks Collection. As always, the Gingerbread Tree Applique was designed to fit on a 6″ x 6″ block, but it can be reduced or enlarged to meet your needs. We hope you and your family can find many ways to use this collection, …
Here is the third applique from the December Applique Blocks Collection. As always, the Gingerbread Star Applique was designed to fit on a 6″ x 6″ block, but it can be reduced or enlarged to meet your needs. Since I designed this, I was thinking they would be so cute to reduce and turn into …
Although this is part of our December Applique Blocks, it can be used any time you need a whimsical stocking and you can make it with or without the “cookie”. It was made to fit a 6″ x 6″ block but it can be enlarged or reduced to meet your needs. This could easily be …
Over the years Michelle and I have done many projects that actually haven’t wound up on Wee Folk Art. Usually, we just get too busy to worry about our cameras or sometimes we’ve had other plans for our projects, and we haven’t included them on the blog. One of these projects is a collection of …
