(Or even a flower girl headband -- wouldn't they be absolutely darling!) Happy May Day! I know the origin of the holiday has changed a number of times, but I love the idea of celebrating Spring. I remember in Elementary school learning Maypole dances and even then I just loved the idea of girls in Spring dresses dancing, throwing flowers and all-around celebrating Spring (I think it was all the Anne of Green Gables I read as a girl.) So, we had to celebrate May Day in style. With two little ... View the Post
Craft Stick Puppets—Perfect for Something On a Stick Day
Did you know that tomorrow is "Something On A Stick Day"? Well, it is. And I'm not making it up either....Like all those other times that I mentioned here.

Summer Camp Chair Tutorial (That you can make yourself!)
When I was little my siblings and I had these little camp stools--and we used them ALL the time. I remember carting them around to parades, fireworks, campouts, bonfires, and every other summer activity that we did. Ahh, those were the days.... So, in my summer nostalgia, I was telling Liz about how I wanted to make some stools like I had when I was little for our kids. And so we started talking....and we came up with these summer camp stools for our kids. AND. THEY. ARE. AMAZING. They ... View the Post
Trivet Headband Tutorial
I love this kid. She melts my heart. And I love making things for her. It's like putting the icing on the cake, it's like putting the ribbon on the package, it's like one of my favorite things in the whole world. Who wouldn't want to play dress up with something so wonderful? (And I know that is how all you moms and grandma's feel about your little ones...I think that is why we all craft.) Anyways, currently this is a project that I love to make. It's easy and fun and little girls look adorable ... View the Post
