What is it about autumn that makes it so many people’s favorite season? Is it the break from oppressive summer heat? Perhaps. If you have children, is it the return to school and “normal” routines. Could be. Don’t even get me started on the foods and spices! There are any number of reasons it could …

Sewn Monster Patterns
Nothing is better at keeping frighting monsters at bay like a friendly monster buddy. Over the past few weeks we have shared a host of monster friends. We did a showcase of Knit Monster Patterns and for our non-knitter friends we shared a Crochet Monster Pattern collection. Today, for all of you that do not …
Crochet Monster Patterns
Last week I shared a post with a bushel of Knit Monster Patterns. Of course, turnabout is fair play and I couldn’t leave all our crocheters in the lurch, so here is an adorable collection of crocheted monster patterns. Some need to be purchased and several of them are FREE. I hope you find one …
Knit Monster Patterns
Not every child seeks out cutesy dolls or adorable stuffed animals as their lovies. Many children love to take a walk on the “wild side”, and when they do, always nice to have a lovable monster to accompany them. Below are knit patterns for creating friends for your own favorite wee monster. Most of these …
Church Ladies FREE Knit and Crochet Family Hat Patterns
Last week I received this message from Helen Selfe-Maguire Roberts: “I was wondering, do you have any patterns for knitted and crocheted berets or hats? The ladies at Church need some patterns and they can’t seem to find any. Any help or suggestions, would be gratefully received.” Challenge accepted. I suspect it wasn’t that they couldn’t …
DIY Sunflower Showcase
Sunflowers are one of my all time favorite flowers. I love how big and bold their beauty is. I love the healthy seeds they provide us with. I love how they spend their day following the sun. And I love that their harvest signals the transition from summer to autumn. I was looking for some …
Cat and Mouse Crochet Patterns
A few weeks ago we shared a Showcase of Cat and Mouse Knit patterns. You can see them HERE. They were a big hit but we had lots of people looking for crocheted patterns. I got right on it, almost finished the post, went on vacation, then forgot about it! Oops! So a few weeks …
Cat and Mouse Knit Patterns
NOTE: The direct links to all the individual photos can be found in this post. The other day someone asked me if I knew of a cute pattern for a knit mouse. Well, as you can well imagine, once I started looking I couldn’t stop! And, if hardly seems fitting to have a cat without …
Back to School :: Crayon and Pencil Storage
In Michigan, kids do not go back to school until after Labor Day so we still have a full month of vacation left, although as homeschoolers we do start up a bit earlier so that we have extra time off at the holidays. For now though, we still have a few relaxed weeks ahead. This is …
Gnomes on Wee Folk Art
We started Wee Folk Art back in July of 2008, so we are celebrating 7 years of sharing our passions here on the blog. Every once in a while I love to flip around through our early blogs. In the beginning we were trying so hard to find our footing. Over the first couple of …
20 DIY Hair Bling
Sources for all the photos shared can be found HERE. Putting together these composites has become a new passion of mine. Why share just 1 thing when I can share several… or in this case 20! I didn’t plan on sharing 20 hair accessories. For some reason I usually like to share 11. What can I …
Foxes on Etsy
Links for all images can be found HERE. Let’s face it… foxes are cute. If they are raiding your chicken coop for a nightly nosh on your poultry you might not be a fan, but you still have to admire their good looks and cunning ways. If I were a wild animal, I would want to be …
