With Christmas coming Elizabeth and I were talking about the toys our kids have loved and which ones definitely didn't live up to the hype. And what we found is that our lists are very similar...especially in the "most played with" category. So if you still have some last minute shopping to do...here are a few toys that, from experience, we would suggest: FOR THE YOUNGER CROWD (like ages 3-6) *AQUADOODLE It's big fun for the little artists without a big mess.

Felt Christmas Pillows with Tutorial
I needed some easy teacher's gifts for the Holidays this year...and have kind of made it a tradition to do a handmade gift and then a gift card for school supplies. So when the Jo-Ann's #MakeItGiveIt campaign came along, I knew it would be the perfect match. I wandered through the store and found some amazing cream premium wool felt and knew it would make the perfect pillows for my kids' teachers. And since pillows are easy....it was a perfect afternoon project! Here is what you will need if ... View the Post

My Own Quilt Frames

If you were to come into my home right now you'd find it littered with handmade blankets....they are on my children's beds, on my bed, thrown over chairs, left on couches, filling my closets...and they range from no sew fleece blankets to pieced and hand quilted heirlooms. And I love every single one of them! I think it may have something to do with being raised by a mother ... View the Post
Stocking Stuffers for the Sew-er (all under $20)
This post is for you....well, not really, it's really for your husband. And my husband. And liZ's husband. See, all we have to do now is casually leave this post up on all of our computers (well, that's my plan---he seldom reads what's going on over here) and maybe one of these items will magically appear in my stocking ;) Do you think it will work? (I have my fingers crossed.) So, some of items are things that I have used over the past year...and some are items that I have on my "want" ... View the Post
