Ahh Valentine’s day. The day to buy and send flowers to a loved one. Rather than cut flowers, why not send (or buy for yourself like I did) a potted plant? Let me explain. I’m not talking about a potted fern. No, no, no. Flowers are still better. And, you’ll probably save some money in [...]

Wear Your Heart on Your Garland
When Everett takes his afternoon nap, I try to do a fun project with Vincent. Sometimes we make a puzzle. Other times we color and practice our letters. With Valentine’s day coming up, we did a special project involving crayons. Before Vincent could get started, I used a utility knife to cut crayon shavings. I [...]

Handmade Hostess…
Cupcakes? Twinkies? Donetts? No, that can’t be right. Gifts, that’s the word I was looking for! Chances are, you’ll attend one or more parties between now and 2012, so we’ve got a few hostess gift ideas that are quick, cheap, and easy. Just the way I like ‘em. (That’s what he said). First up, flour [...]

Handmade Holidays: Clay Critters
We’ve been at it again. Making Christmas ornaments, that is. Jeesh, get your mind out of the gutter. Haha. This time, I’ve strayed away from glass balls and moved toward polymer clay. I had one package of white clay waiting to be used. Christmas is the perfect time, I guess. I don’t have a real [...]

Handmade Holidays: Owls, Pine Cones, and Trees
You guys, I wish I had some good kitchen progress to share today. But I don’t. Told you the drawers would make the progress train come to a screeching halt. I guess screeching halt isn’t quite correct because I have gotten both sides primed (can you say tedious, time-consuming, paint in the butt?) and I’ll [...]

Handmade Holidays: Snowflakes and Berries
We’ve made a few more Christmas ornaments, so we decided to share with you. The first idea was inspired by this from Pinterest. Basically, you print a template, place wax paper over, then trace with puff paints and put the design on a canvas. We followed most of the steps, with the exception of the [...]

Handmade Holidays: Glass Ball Ornaments
Christmas is only 27 days away, so we thought it would be fun to share our handmade ornaments. I decided on a ‘Winter Wonderland’ theme this year. So snow, snowflakes, trees, pine cones, feathers, reindeer, birds, owls, and polar bears were the main focus. Some are super simple, others are a little more complex, but [...]

A Boatload of Thanks
With Thanksgiving three days away, we thought it was time to share a simple table setting. Several weeks ago, while at a thrift store, I found a beautiful gold ringed glass and pitcher set. My sister and I both wanted it, so she took four of the six glasses and the pitcher. Those two glasses [...]

Feeling Hot Hot Hot
This past Friday we, er Ben, installed the kitchen sink and adjoining cabinets. Then he called it a night. First order of business on Saturday: install the stove cabinets and range. So, Ben hauled out our old clunker and brought in the box with the shiny new stove. We carefully unwrapped the packaging to discover this: [...]
