Here are a few ways you can take advantage of all nature has to offer this fall. 1. Leaf Tracings Start by creating a small booklet by folding 10 sheets of copy paper in half.

Almost a Scarf

Me knitting

I had the opportunity this weekend to spend time listening to the General Conference of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. My plan was to take notes while I listened to help me pay attention. After missing the first 30 minutes because I was packing stuff up to be taken to the post office, I decided to try something else instead, and spent most of the remaining 7.5 hours working on this: This is the scarf that {Read More}

Look At My Space #5

I am back at my desk this week, and I feel like I should mention something real quick so as not to feel like a total liar. While my desk is pretty clean and organized in the picture below, it has not looked like this for the last two weeks since I got it clean. I am a master at leaving things to be put away later, and did a quick stash before snapping a photo for this week’s post. {Read More}

Crafting in the Kitchen

I’ve talked before about wanting to teach my daughters some useful crafts in addition to the arts and crafts stuff we do most of the time. One of those useful crafts is cooking and baking, and here is one of the first things I am going to teach them to make: Don’t they look delicious! And, I have to add, that panckaes made from scratch taste better than anything I have ever got from a mix or at any pancake {Read More}

Look At My Space #4

The bad news is I’m a day late posting. The good news is my Swiffer got a really good workout. So, this is what the end of my bedroom that I use for craft storage looked like when I started: If you look close, you can see that the end-tables I got made it back there, unfortunately, so did a bunch of other stuff too. I am still far from being done, but I got a lot done while my {Read More}

Look At My Space #3

As a reminder, this is what my space looked like 2 weeks ago: And this is what my space looks like as of right now: Look at all that space I have to work in! Yippee! Parts of my organizing project that are already done: Table cleared off End tables cleaned out Space in my room cleared for end tables End tables moved into bedroom What’s left to do: Go through boxes of stuff from desk Go through boxes of {Read More}

Look At My Space #2

Welcome to the second installment of Look At My Space. I appreciate you stopping by. Last week I showed you my own disorganized space. Knowing that I would have to check in this week made me want to work. Unfortunately, it was a holiday weekend, so actually getting anything done was nearly impossible. My week went something like this: Wednesday: I snagged a plastic bin from my girls’ room and used it to start sorting the stuff on my desk. Bills, {Read More}

Paper Beads

Earlier this week, when I posted pictures of my messy crafting space, you may have seen this little beauty on the floor next to my table. This particular blue box was just delivered earlier this week and was given a spot next to my front door. Junk mail is tossed in right as it comes into the house, newspapers are added after they have been looked through, and we are working on building the habit of making sure all of {Read More}

My husband and I were talking the other night and he brought up a really good point. I have boxes and boxes of scrapbook stuff, and I do nothing with it. Scrapbooks and passing on stories used to be my passion. Now I mostly talk about the importance of scrapbooks, but I do nothing about it. I’m sure I could come up with plenty of excuses for not scrapbooking. One of the main excuses is the fact that I don’t {Read More}

Fairy Things to Make and Do

004

We try to do an art project with our girls at least once a week. When I told the girls it was time for our project this week, Bugga immediately went running for my bedroom, shouting that she was going to get her art supplies. Squeak followed. Wanting to make sure that they didn’t get into anything that is not theirs, I went too, and was surprised when Bugga went straight to her Fairy Things to Make and Do Kid {Read More}
