Practical Crafts and DIY Projects
This week my husband and I celebrated our 6th wedding anniversary. In honor of the day I wanted to make something special, but my husband doesn’t get into a lot of the corny love stuff. He makes everything more complicated, I really have to put some thought into anything I do. When I saw the […]
I love being mommy to the most amazing little boy, but I have to say there aren’t nearly as many things to sew for boys as there is girls. It does leave me a little envious as a sewer. Maybe one day I will be able to pull out the lace and glitter, but for […]
Would you like for your little guy (or gal) to feel like s/he can do anything…at least for a day? Consider hosting a superhero themed birthday party. Becoming master of their universe is pretty serious business for kids, you know. That might be why the superhero themed birthday party is so popular. Here are some […]

I learned that not only does doing everything for your child make them not very self-efficient, but you also rob them of […]
A quilt just isn’t complete without a cute label. Whether you are letting the recipient know who it is from, why you made it, what they mean to you or just giving general care instructions, a quilt label is an important final touch. I had put off making one for my son’s quilt, simply because […]
Making handmade cards has been on my list to try for a while. Of course, I never get around to something new, if I don’t throw myself in head first. Such as, joining a Card Swap and committing to make 26 cards, when I have never made a card before. I definitely pushed myself on […]
I honestly have to say I think the Silhouette Print & Cut feature is one of the most intimidating for beginners, but unbelievably rewarding once attempted. It doesn’t take long to fall in love with the crafting possibilities of this awesome feature. Whether you have done a hundred Print & Cut projects or none, I […]
