I found this cookie recipe on Pinterest a few weeks ago, and randomly decided to give it a try on Sunday morning with the kids while Dad slept in. This recipe is ridiculously easy, and so healthy that I didn’t mind at all that we all snacked on cookies all day. I added in a…
Remember this shirt that I started making Flynn two months ago? It’s been sitting on my sewing table since January, all cut out and ready to go. I finally finished it this weekend! I think it looks SO cute on him, even though I seriously screwed up the neck line. At first I didn’t sew…
I’m such a slacker. I had been planning on doing a celebratory giveaway when I reached 100 likes on Facebook, but I reached that a few weeks ago and I’m just now getting around to doing this! I’m blaming the crappy weather and the fact that we were all sick for a week. SO! If…
I went to Hobby Lobby last week to buy some embroidery thread for a not-so-top-secret-but-I’m-going-to-pretend-it-is-anyway project. And while I was there, as always, I started looking at the watercolor paints and I finally decided to just buy the set I’ve been wanting for forever. (The 40% off coupon made me do it.) Of course, I…
Ok guys, I seriously did not think this was possible. But I have somehow managed to find yet another new crafty obsession… Cross stitch. Which is just WEIRD, because that is one of those crafts that I had tried in the past and shrugged off as something not for me. That was nice, one less…
SNOW! Lots and lots of snow. That’s what I think of when I think of February. I’m pretty sure it is done snowing, and the roads are finally cleared. But the snow is still making it hard to drive because there are 7 foot tall snow banks everywhere so you can never see if someone…
I just finished these paintings for Sarah from Mom-Made. I love how they turned out! Such cute little boys. I had to redraw Miles because Flynn got a hold of that one and bent it right across his face. It wasn’t too much of a set back, I just traced the drawing onto a new…
About a month ago there was a ‘Creative Pay It Forward’ thing going around Facebook. Basically, the first 5 people to comment on your status would receive some handmade goodies if they also put it as their own status. I love Pay It Forward ideas, and I particularly loved this one because I love to…
I bought a new pen a few weeks ago, and I LOVE IT. I mean, seriously, look how tiny that tip is. It’s perfect for mini paintings. Paintings in general really. I just love my pen. It makes me happy. That metal mechanical pencil is also pretty awesome. And I don’t know what I’d do…
Earlier this week I got a little caught up with my 52 Weeks of Drawings. Not completely caught up of course, that would be ridiculous. But I think I’m only 2 or 3 weeks behind now? (I’m never going to be able to keep track of what number week it is.) I have had these…
