Why didn’t I see this back in June? Felt Travel Books

August 23, 2007 | Leave a Comment

This is one of the coolest ideas I’ve seen in a long time.  Why didn’t I see it back in June before we made the Big Trip North?  It’s called a travel book, but I can think of at least 50 other good times to use it (waiting at the doctor’s office, waiting for food [...]

Bubbles!

August 19, 2007 | Leave a Comment

It’s still hot.  You’re tired of being housebound.  Summer is winding down, the kids are getting antsy, and your kitchen floor could use a good sudsing.  What to do?

Shaving Cream: Not just for dads anymore

August 16, 2007 | Leave a Comment

It’s going on 10 days with 100+ degree temperatures, it’s too hot for the kids to even play in the pool, and you’re all going a little crazy in the air conditioning 24/7.  What’s a mom to do?

August 10, 2007 | Leave a Comment

A quick follow-up to yesterday’s post about crochet for kids…check out www.luv2crochet.com.  It’s crochet FOR kids, but unless your little crafter is a super genius crocheter already, these patterns, while not necessarily complicated, will probably be done by mom or another adult.  I love all of her patterns, both those for free and those for [...]

Crochet for Kids

August 9, 2007 | Leave a Comment

Even though it feels like Global Warming has reached its peak here with a high of 103 degrees today, I definitely have crochet on the brain. Seems like I hear and read about so many people who learned to crochet at a very young age and carry their love of fiber and creativity [...]

Ah…remember paper dolls?

August 7, 2007 | Leave a Comment

When we made the 12-hour drive to my in-laws’ house last month, I scoured the Internet for car-friendly activities to keep my kids busy. My daughter loves all things arts and crafts and she loves dolls, and my son loves cutting paper, so paper dolls seemed perfect. And they were! Besides [...]

It only makes sense that my inaugural post mentions my favorite crafting TV show and one of their projects. Creative Juice on DIY and HGTV, hosted by Cathie Filian and Steve Piacenza, never fails to amaze and inspire me. Their projects are gorgeous yet simple, practical yet thrifty. Most of their [...]
