• Keeping It Simple: Soothing Boo Bags aka Rice Heat Therapy Bags

  Today's blog started out on my stocking stuffer list but I was just in the mood to try one after finding an old package of rice in the back of the pantry this week.

• In-the-hoop Cookies

• A Pretty Felt Playhouse -Part 2

  Finished! And with a little time to spare. We decided to just button down the sides instead of sewing them. It will make removing it from the table and folding it up for storage a little easier. Kate got to see it during the final fitting since she is...

• A Pretty Felt Playhouse - Part One

  OK. It is the Thursday before Christmas! A few weeks ago my daughter showed me a picture of a playhouse made from felt. It fit over a card table. Very cute and felt is easy to work with. So I planned one for the girls for Christmas. When I showed my drawings...

• An Oldie but Goodie - Bag Keepers Never Go Out of Style

  As you probably know by now we have been slowly trying to go green. So we use cloth bags (see designer bags )for most of our shopping. Even so, we still end up with some of those thin plastic bags from various places. They have some uses such as lining...

• Keeping It Simple - Heart Flowers, Burpies and Nursing Covers

  Yes, I know - I do lots of baby stuff. I can't help it - my girls and all their friends are at that age and baby things are part of our everyday conversations. And baby items are fun to make.

• Keeping It Simple - Going Green with Fabric Easter Baskets

  Most of you know that one of my goals in 2009 was to use up as much of my fabric stash as possible and not purchase any new fabrics.

• Keeping it Simple - Puppy Love and Gingerbread Man Coasters

  I have to tell you a story of love at first sight. I have to tell you the story of Keiko. She is one of the newest members of the family (kind of).
