• Keeping It Simple - Gone Fishing In-the-hoop

  Our third granddaughter is not a sit in the corner type. She is always in motion. On top of that being the third little girl in her family we are always struggling with gift ideas. The other two are not hard on things so they have lots of little girl...

• In-the-hoop Cookies

  The girls love to play with the kitchen that their dad made for them. Their play kitchen isn't tucked away, it is staged in the great room of their house. So, they play with it lots. Each Christmas Andrea has added felt food items to the kitchen....

• A Quick Gift for Father's Day

  At our house we always seem to be slightly behind and end up cramming to get our father's day gifts done the night before that special day. Sometimes they don't go as planned and we spend a frustrating time figuring out what to do. This year we...

• Keeping It Simple - Tags All in the Hoop

  I went to have lunch with my granddaughter this week. It was fun but one thing that amazed me was how many lunch boxes looked just alike. And they were all jumbled together in huge tubs so it took the kids some time to find the one that belonged to them...

• Keeping It Simple - Embroidered Baby T-shirts for Cool Summer Fun

  I am not sure why but many of our favorite shops for infant clothes have gone out of business over the past year or so. These shops featured handmade items that were unique but really reasonable in price. In the past, when life was too busy to sew we...

• Keeping It Simple- Lollipop Covers In-the-Hoop

  I am convinced that clutter multiplies all by itself. I have been trying to clean closets and drawers and am amazed at the number of bags we have to give to the local charity. Not to mention how many times I have filled the recycle and trash bins with...

• Keeping It Simple – Halloween Masks for My Pumpkins.

  OK, I admit it. I despise making jack-O-lanterns. The carving is OK but in my mind cleaning out the pumpkin guts has never been fun. Yuck-O! And because it gets so cold here before Halloween these hollowed out orange decorations many times look like little...

• Holiday Inspiration in a World of Germs

  Yes, I know the holiday season is a time for joy and counting your blessings but it is so much more enjoyable when everyone stays well. In our family 2008 has been dubbed “the year of the tissue”. As I walk in the door with my load of tissue...
