I finished this project as a surprise to my husband while he was out of town (partly to prove it to myself that I could keep a secret for a whole weekend and partly because I was a little afraid of what he would think about the giant pink frame hanging outside his bedroom…yikes!) Well, …
My dad is a creative genius! He came up with this idea, but it was just too good to keep to myself. A Marshmallow Gun!! Here’s the deal, it’s just a few pieces of PVC pipe cut to various lengths along with two T-joints, and an L-joint or two. There’s no need for any glue, …
I’ve finally finished the embroidery work I wanted to do on my big summer project! Thanks for sticking it out with me through my first and second updates. We’ve come along way! The funny thing is that I’ve never actually done any embroidery, so I studied a few picture tutorials and got to work, learning …
I hope you enjoy this funny costume paci mustache tutorial. Make one for a kid you love and laugh hysterically, but please supervise your tiny tot… these can be a choking hazard! I originally made these for my little boy’s first birthday which was themed his “little man” party, and my sister-in-law is reusing hers for …
I have yet to find a recipe that calls for a whole stalk of celery. (Is it a stalk? head? bunch?) What I’m getting at is I always seem to have leftover celery, so I thought it would be fun to try my hand at some celery rose stationery today. I originally saw this idea …

I know it was 100 degrees outside today, but I was inside knitting, yes… knitting! I finished a car seat blanket for my best friend’s new little one. Do you remember the blanket I made for Trey out of my husband’s old shirts? Well, I used it all winter for my little guy while he …
Every once in a while I’ll find a tutorial online for something adorable that I have to make right away, the kind of project that just can’t wait until tomorrow. That’s the way I felt about these lollipops. Sweet for a little boy… Perfect for a little girl… They are made out of two baby …
I just finished a year of Bible study on the book of Revelation (a toughie, but sooo good!) and I wanted to thank the teachers who have been watching my boys each Tuesday morning. I decided to whip up a couple of thank you gifts. In the past I’ve made chocolate sauce with gingerbread spoons …
We adopted a couple little puppies recently. They are just so well behaved! They never bark, never need to go out for a walk, they don’t shed, and they are just so preppy! They fit in beautifully here! Bertie, Barnie and Barkley have been very generous to agree to let me show you how they …
