Do your kids love to read? Ours do, but keeping track of the library books can be a challenge. And while our daughter was reorganizing their schoolroom area she wanted a reading nook and a place to keep those library books.

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 doesn't talk much and is too young to remember...

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 with the measurements to Andrea she said it...

Leftover Minky and those Elusive Binks

A friend gave me some leftover 5" squares of minky fabric the other day. There were not enough to make a quilt so I pondered what to do with them. In the meantime someone stepped on the clip that held the baby's pacifier so it didn't get lost. She really only gets it when she is in the car...

Easter Goodies for Infants

"What will the Easter bunny bring for the baby?" our grandaughter asked. Now, this is the same little girl who recently wrote a letter to the famous bunny asking if he was really a man dressed up in a costume. But, real or not, she wants to make sure that he doesn't leave her baby sister...

Newborn photo shoots are fun. But what do you do with all those pictures? Here is an idea that is sure to be a hit. At least it has been with my daughter and her friends.

Keeping It Simple - Show and Tell

I hope your holidays were full of fun with family and friends. I listened to people make their New Year's resolutions the other night. Some were new but many were the same old ones they make every year and find so difficult to keep. So, we talked with the girls about some good goals for the year...
