This weekend we are excited to be working with Sarah’s Silks to offer our readers another awesome give-away. My children have “grown up” draped in Sarah’s Silks. They have been a part of their dramatic play, turning every day children into knights and fairies. They’ve added rivers to the gnome village, ponds for ducklings and …
As I mentioned last week, we have a new slipcover for our sofa, making all of our tired, dirty old throw pillows look even more shabby. And yes, I’m almost done with my embroidered owl pillow… and will be sharing the embroidery patterns and pillow design for that soon… but in the meantime I made …
When it comes to drinking hot beverages, I’m the equivalent of being ambidextrous… I’m just as comfortable and content drinking coffee or tea. Of course, they both have their place. First thing in the morning… give me coffee and keep it coming. Confession time… sometimes my last thought before I go to sleep at …
Ok, so I was more than mildly intrigued when I heard about these Jelly Roll Race quilts. Really, a quilt you can make in an hour or less?! As a busy, homeschooling mom of three, quilting has been a hobby of mine that has more or less sat on the back burner for years. Sure, …

The daffodils in our yard are just poking their heads through the ground, but I was aching for some flowers, NOW, so I decided to make my own. You can make a garland or 2 or 3 for yourself, too. Hang your Spring Flower Garland up and you’ll feel like you stumbled upon an enchanted …
On a cold winter afternoon, there is nothing like snuggling into your favorite reading corner with a cup of hot tea and a snowflake inspired lap quilt. Enjoy a good book or surfing your favorite blogs while staying toasty warm. For a fun twist on a classic appliqued quilt we used Freezer Paper Stencils to …
The adage “necessity is the mother of invention” is never as obvious as when a parent is trying to fashion a toy for a child when traditional toys are unavailable. A hankie becomes a “pew doll”, a piece of paper becomes an airplane or a “cooty catcher”, and a handful of vines or flowers can be braided …
With the 4th of July just days away, here in the USA, many streets and buildings proudly display our flag and many flag based decorations. Today we are sharing our version of the flag… an applique with lots of "heart" for our nation 🙂 My plan was to turn this into a wooden plaque to hang …
When Rhonda, from Joy Grows, first contacted us with an idea for a guest blog spot, she said, "Hello! I would like to submit my dear little frog tutorial as an idea for a guest blog on Wee Folk Art." I must admit, the more I looked at this little guy, the sweeter he became. I …
It seems like in the Spring there are so many occasions when a lovely bouquet of flowers is the perfect gift. Whether it’s Easter, Passover, Mother’s Day, Graduation or a Dance Recital, the perfect gift is often flowers. The only problem with flowers is that their beauty is fleeting. This year, consider spending the time, making …
