Rag Dolls

I cleaned up my craft room last week, and having everything put away always makes me want to make something! So I used a pattern from my Craft Hope book and made a pretty doll for a certain little girl who just turned 1. And I really couldn’t get away with NOT making one for…

Search Terms

One of my favorite things about WordPress, is the blog stats page. There is a little section down there that tells you what search terms people have entered to find your page. Sometimes I get some really crazy stuff down there, so I thought it would be fun to share some of them. You know,…

365 Days Outside > 20-24

Day 20 Today we drew on our driveway wall with sidewalk chalk and ate a yummy orange. (Juniper insisted we bring the orange with us.) Day 21 Bubbles! The perfect way to spend a little time outside on a chilly day. Day 22 It was a beautiful day today. We played in the front yard…

{The Collectorials} Coins

Lately I have been slightly obsessed with the idea of collections. I thought I’d start a mini blog series about collections, which my husband has decided to call “The Collectorials”. I have a few collections that I’ll be sharing, and I’ve got a few collections that I wish I had! (Does any one else dream…

Cupcakes

Every time I make cupcakes, my brother’s girlfriend tells me she wants one. The only thing is, she lives 1000 miles away! So I decided to make a special batch just for her and I include them in the Christmas package I sent home. (Last week… yes I am a huge slacker! At least it’s…

Ten Months

The difference between nine months and ten months is pretty incredible. This little mister has FOUR teeth now, can stand up on his own and loves chasing his sister around the house with his walker toy. It’s been a busy month! My favorite thing right now is how excited he is to see me when…

{Drawings} Sosa

When I do drawing commissions, my favorite parts to work on are the eyes and the hair. And dogs are fun to draw because they are mostly hair! This 5×7 drawing will be heading to Washington DC. I decided recently that I need to draw more often. So I bought myself a nice big sketch…

365 Days Outside > 14-19

Day 14 Today we made a surprise for Daddy in our back yard. When he looks outside in the morning he will know how much we love him. Day 15 Our snowman is officially the only snow left in our yard. Well, accept the tiny spots of snow here and there that Juniper insisted we…

Doll Heads

I met an elderly woman at church recently named Laura. She is AMAZING. She is the regional coordinator for the church’s humanitarian efforts, and her house is FULL of crafts. Last week I helped her sew some bucket hats for cancer patients, and this week she asked me to help out with these little “burrito…

{DIY} Bird Feeder

We made this super cute bird feeder last night. I thought I’d share it as a mini-DIY. Like there aren’t enough bird feeder tutorials out there! Oh well, I think its cute. I was sick last week, and so I’ve spend the past 2 days cleaning my house back up. Fun, I know. Tonight I…
