Wooden Flowers Made From Drawer Pulls
Has Spring sprung in your wee world? It has in The Thicket, and there are now all sorts of flowers and plants hither and yon. An easy way to add some flora to your wee world is to simply paint some wooden drawer pulls. Begin with any flat based drawer pulls. Mine are 1 1/2" …
Wooden Flower Stacker
Several weeks ago we shared a tutorial for a SQUARE WOODEN STACKER. If you have never worked with wood before, the Square Wooden Stacker was a great project to cut your teeth on. I have to be honest, this Wooden Flower Stacker is a bit more challenging. There are lots of curves… LOTS… but if …
Brrrr… Cold Day Project :: Mitten Line
It is bone chilling cold out there today! Our schedule has been cleared, all activities for the day have been canceled due to extreme wind chill. What to do on a snow day that is too cold to play outside… crafts of course. Here is a fun and useful project that we made a couple …
Knitting Stars
I know I should be packing up all the Christmas stuff and knitting more practical things right now (the kids could all use more mittens) but I wanted to make something new for my sweet, little yarn tree this year and didn’t get a chance to during the holiday season. Actually, I didn’t MAKE anything …
Happy Snowman Applique Block
“In the meadow we can build a snowman”. Oh, how I love our “Winter Wonderland”! There can be the slightest sprinkling of snow and wee ones will be outside, carefully scooping up what precious little snow there is, hoping to build a towering snowman. But, when the weather’s right, and the snow blankets the ground, you …
Gluten-free Lemon Sugar Cookie Recipe
In our family we have at least 15 or so traditional family Christmas cookies. We talk about cutting back every year but in order to make sure everyone has their favorites… well we end up making almost all of them every time. This year, amidst the holiday prep, Gammy left us for a bit to …
Wooden Christmas Stars
You would think, after 59 Christmases, I would run out of new things to make. HA! Not even close! Over the years my tastes have changed, and as they do, my house changes with me. My tastes, although eclectic, now run on the “simple side”. That is why when I saw a photo of simple wooden …
Harvest Time NEW EDITION coming soon!
Although the weather is launching a full scale, sizzling protest this week, refusing to yield to cooler temperatures… autumn is just around the corner. In fact, around here, the trees have been hinting at their fall foliage for a couple weeks. A little yellow here, a touch of orange there. Soon, very soon, it will …
Clay Pot Plant Markers Garden Project
By flipping a small terracotta pot upside down, painting it and adding a knob, you can make these colorful clay pot plant markers. They are practical and add a touch of whimsy to your garden. A very long time ago my children taught me NEVER to mistake silence for inactivity! Actually, unless napping, the quieter …
Rain Boot Applique Block
Statement: My floors are covered in mud. Period. End of story. As the near spring thaw begins to turn portions of our yard into a gooey brown viscous substance, my dogs joyously, nay, exuberantly, prance, dance and generally wallow in the stuff! Don’t want this to be common knowledge, BUT, I’ve even tried dog boots. …
