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…
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,…
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…
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…

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…
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…
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…
