When people ask me what is the one piece of crafting equipment I couldn’t do without, I tell them their are 2 things. The first is a very sharp… razor sharp… pair of scissors. That’s pretty straight forward. The second item is a little more unconventional 🙂 Everyone can understand the importance of a good …

Sweeny Todd Baby Quilt – Yikes!
So, a couple of days ago I told everyone about the baby quilt I’m making for the Little Guy. I was so very excited, nah, I would say I was all a twitter to be using my Woodsy Wonders fabric that has been in my stash for two years. After posting the blog, I got …
Autumn Preview

Little Guy’s Quilt
I must admit I’ve been a slacker the past few weeks enjoying some guilt free R and R. Although I’m not done slacking completely, I do need to get a few projects done and start making plans for the fall. The first order of business… make a baby quilt for the Little Guy. He is …
A Day of Strawberry Picking
When it comes to children, we live in an area of boundless opportunities.

Color Matching Wooden Pegs and Pots
EDIT: One of our readers just contacted Casey’s Wood Products where I put the wood parts for the products. They suggested buy the pot #7 which is Premium Wood Bean Pot Candle Cup – 1-9/16″ , (not #7C) . Just should fit nicer than the one I used and you shouldn’t need to make the inside …
No Sense of Urgency
“I don’t see much sense in that,” said Rabbit. “No,” said Pooh humbly, “there isn’t. But there was going to be when I began it. It’s just that something happened to it along the way.” …from Winnie the Pooh Michelle and I have decided that we will not be reopening Wee Folk Art Market Place. And, we will be …

As we are putting together the shop and making it our own, we think about the things we like and use, and those things we think our readers will like, which not amazingly, is very similar 🙂 Having said that… Michelle and I try to be conscientious consumers.
