Can you believe I’ve never tried Shrinky Dinks?? It’s on that list of things, like a Polaroid camera, that I always wanted as a kid but never could have. I finally bought some the other day with the Michaels gift card my mother-in-law gave me for my birthday. IT IS SO COOL!!!!! I did these…
My mother-in-law gave me an Amazon gift card for my birthday to buy some craft books. It took me literally an entire day to choose which ones I wanted to buy… I finally settled with “We Make Dolls!” by Jenny Doh, “How to Make Stuffed Animals” by Sian Keegan, and “Wee Wonderfuls” by Hillary Lang…
Last weekend I had a mini craft night with my Juniper. She chose a doll from one of my new books, picked out the fabric to use, helped me trace and cut the pieces and sat on my lap while I sewed her up. She did good for the most part, but got a little…
Friday was an absolutely beautiful day. It was 61° and sunny. (Which was super nice because I was awesome and locked my keys (and phone) in the car while at the post office. I enjoyed the 1.5 mile walk back to work though.) So imagine our surprise when Saturday evening it started snowing! Talk about…
I finished this dress last night for week 1 of Project Run and Play. I brought it to work with me today with the intent of taking some nice pictures on my lunch break, since it is already dark by the time I get home from work these days. (Hate that…) Well, with my luck,…
Well, I’ve made it official. I am going to be joining in on Chelsey’s 52 Weeks of Drawings challenge! I’m going to keep it simple and just do small ink drawings on these tiny pieces of paper, and when I’m done I’m going to bind them all into a little book. Because I like little…
Look what I found! This is the beaver that I mentioned in my last post. I sculpted him for my father-in-law back in 2007. I’d forgotten how cute he is. Lately I have been really missing sculpting, it’s been a long time since I got out the clay. Last time I did was back in…
I painted this little guy as a gift for my father-in-law, sincee collects beaver things. A few years ago I made him a sculpture. I wonder if I still have pictures of that…
For my birthday this year (and I’m thinking I’ll make it a tradition!) I had a Craft Night with a bunch of family and friends. It was a lot of fun having so many loved ones in our home at the same time. That is my favorite part of parties. And we sewed a few…
Yesterday I accomplished something that has been hanging over my head for over a year. Quite literally. When we first bought our home, I started painting the built in shelves in my craft room. And they stayed about 80% finished until yesterday! Of course, I decided to change up the colors and just REPAINT both…
