Recently I've seen DIY book shelves all over blogland so I figured what the heck...I'll throw mine into the mix. These are the book shelves that are in the preschool room here at my house. They aren't a novel idea (no pun intended) poor school teachers have been using this trick for years.......book shelves made from rain gutters....they are light weight, easy to transport, easy to hang, and perfect for displaying books. All you need is rain gutter cut in the desired lengths (your local Home ... View the Post
Audrey Quotes
A few Audrey quotes for your Saturday....“It's that wonderful old-fashioned idea that others come first and you come second. This was the whole ethic by which I was brought up.

This week the challenge was to upcycle and thrift. Which you all know how much we love!

(Sorry there really is a picture explosion coming....)We decided to do an urban photo shoot this time and boy was ... View the Post
Beet Dyed Onesies
That's right. I said "beet dyed onesies". Weird? Probably. But I didn't start coloring my baby's undershirts with food all at once. There was a method to my madness and it all started here when I made these: Tea dyed onesies. And I love them. And I started to think if I could dye them with tea maybe I could dye them with other staining foods....like beets. Which coincidentally are delicious to eat when chilled and pickled. And even better when mixed with spinach and peas and blue cheese and ... View the Post
Boy’s Pajama Shirt Tutorial
Here is the tutorial for the boys' pajamas that we used in Project Run and Play last week. I made another pair for this little cutie and took some pictures this time. Can I pause for a minute to tell you how much I love this kid? And how his adoption was such a miracle. Truly. I really need to tell you all the stories, but I have just been keeping them in my heart for a year now. They need to be shared, but I feel so protective of his birthmomma, who loves that little boy dearly and made ... View the Post
Make Your Own Crayons
This was a fun project that I saw for the first time over here and since I love activities like this we just had to try it out. It was easy, fun, and even educational. First I bought a rubber ice tray at the dollar store that we filled with the naked, broken crayons from the crayon bin. Next we took the ice tray and put it in our experiment pan (I know the pan looks rough but it gets a lot of serious non-cooking use). Then we put the pan out on the dashboard of the mini van, shut the door, ... View the Post
