5 Questions to Ask a Teen or Young Adult at a Holiday Gathering

As we step into the holiday season, many of us will find ourselves with extended family and friends at gatherings. And one thing that I try to remember is to talk to all of the teens and young adults in the room! But sometimes I have found that my well-meaning questions can completely miss the mark, leaving teens feeling misunderstood or even overwhelmed.

Maple Leaf Pillow

Maple Leaf Pillow This fall our newest fabric line with Riley Blake Designs was released.  It is called Pumpkin Spice and I just LOVE it.   I was lucky enough to receive some advanced yardage this summer before it hit the stores and opening up that box of fabric was like Christmas!  Or…maybe Thanksgiving might be more accurate.   At any rate I have been so excited to start sewing up quilt blocks.   Unfortunately, life had other plans and I ...

Normal or Not…A Game

Normal or Not...A Game Over the past year I have spent a lot of time in waiting rooms, in hospital rooms, and in vehicles with various family members. During this time I learned a lot about my family members....I mean I thought I already knew practically everything about them but I was wrong! For example I realized that one of my brothers eats just like me...meaning that at a meal he eats all of one item before eating any of another item. I do the same thing...and I don't like my ...

How to Make a Harry Potter Magic Wand

How to Make a Harry Potter Magic Wand Last year I got the awesome experience to, once again, teach several periods of Reading Enrichment at my middle school. I love teaching reading almost as much as I love teaching art....and this magic wand project let me combine both subjects! One of the books that we read together as a class was Harry Potter so after our daily fluency drills, comprehension work, and phonemic awareness practice we spent some time creating our own magic ...
