When I have some down time, if I’m not actually crafting, I usually have my sketch book out and I’m doodling away. Some of my doodles stay just that, a bit of fancy on a blank page. But other times, I’ll be sketching with no particular project in mind, and I’ll say, “Hey, that would make …

I am making hobby horses for the grandbabies for Christmas. I’m trying very hard to make most of my gifts this year, and if I do buy, to buy American made…but this is more of a guideline than a hard and fast rule.

I am ALWAYS trying to come up with new ideas of organization that work for me. Not an easy task…I’m not known for my strong organizational abilities!

Today we taught the kids a new marble game. It didn’t take long before they were making up their own games! Pixie saw it as a new twist on “put and take”!
