Back when Michelle was in high school, her and a group of her friends decided to have a "formal" girls night out. Most of the girls had boyfriends, but they decided it would be fun to get all dressed up, go to a lovely restaurant, and party WITHOUT boys. And, just ’cause, they decided to …

These "basics" have proven to be dependable, familiar, and most importantly, adaptable. "Basics" can be altered slightly, tweaked and accessorized to create a different look or taste. "Basics" are the "tried and trues" that we …

It began as a desire to have a few props for some of Leo Lionni’s books. I especially wanted to focus on It’s Mine. I began by drawing a frog and toad to be cut from wood, which I shall be sharing as soon as I cut out my toad. I then decided the frogs needed lily …
Here are the Felt and Wood Reeds that I used with the Wooden Ducklings to go along with the Book Nook – Have You Seen My Duckling? but they would be just as at home used with our Gnomes. I made 2 different sizes; one with 7 reeds and one with 8 reeds. The bases are an easy shape to cut out …
