 I’ve discovered the joys of painting on fabric and there are very few solid t-shirts left in the house as a result.  Hm, what else can I stencil?  Hand towels? Socks? Sheets?  John had better guard his t-shirts with his life because eventually I’m going to run out of things to stencil...

First, and one of my favorite ideas – sort the crayons by color, then melt them in a homemade double boiler… Pour the melted crayon into molds (we used a chocolate mold)… Let it cool completely, then when it slides out easily you’ve got cute shaped crayons! Here’s the...

We’ve been making heart paper chains! Emma likes it.  Just a little.  ;-) I know this is pretty basic, but since I had to look it up (Ha!) I thought it was worth sharing the how-to.  :) You’ll need: Colored paper or construction paper Scissors Pencil 1.  Cut the paper into long thin...

What to do with tons of crayons?  Especially those cheap brand crayons that don’t work as well as Crayola crayons? Try this!  Get a candle or tea light, peel the paper off your crayons, and get some good thick paper.  I used watercolor paper. Then hold the end of the crayon over the flame (not...

You know those glass jars you get when you buy pasta sauces or jam?  Yeah, I keep all of those.  I actually love to drink water out of jars – I swear it tastes better.  But my cupboard was getting crowded, so I decided it was time to do something fun with them. So I pulled them out, grabbed...

Okay, these aren’t necessarily just for adults – but I love to color and these really inspired me.  I was thinking of buying one of those Dover coloring books but found some free printables that I absolutely love! So I have to share what I found.  Click on the images to go to the image...

I love to make t-shirt dresses (my first one is here)… they’re so simple and yet can be made to look “fancy” easily!  Over the summer I made two dresses/tunic tops from sleeveless shirts and appliqued the shirts to match the skirt material: I’ve been wanting to make some...

This was a total impulse buy.  I was walking through Joann Fabrics with a 40% off coupon burning a hole in my pocket, and I saw this box: I was ecstatic!  Every year I look for a special nativity set but so far I just hadn’t found one I liked.  Precious Moments nativities are fun but verrry...

These were so easy to make!  First, I used a free printable nativity from Hart of the Mountain Studio.  They were meant to be finger puppets, but I wanted to do something different… We printed it out on cardstock, laminated it with my trusty laminator (which I LOVE), cut the pieces out… …then...

We really enjoyed making and decorating sugar cookies yesterday.  :) Don’t they look yummy?  I like to make my sugar cookies nice and fat (and soft), and add almond flavoring.  My favorite way to eat a cookie!  This frosting isn’t anything special, just milk, powdered sugar, and food...

I bought a package of this stuff when it was on sale at Zulily not long ago.  I wasn’t sure about it – there were very mixed reviews.  It seems like people either love it or hate it.  But it was a great price (I believe it was $6, regularly $20 for this package).  Well, we LOVE it! ...
