The wonderful Jacqueline Cook found herself in possession of hundreds of beautiful terrarium plants. Being the lovely friend she is, she called me up last Sunday and asked If I wanted to bring the boys over and help make a bunch of terrariums Continue reading
This project is really the first part of a two part project I have been thinking about. For a while now I have been wanting to make some rainbow sorting bowls for the kids. Continue reading
This was one of those happy accidents. I went about making these scones by the Gluten-Free Girl & the Chef with a few variations…and some missteps. I will direct you back to her scone post for a more detailed description of how to originally make them. However, here is what I did: mistakes included in my shorter directions;-) Continue reading
With Father’s Day past, I can now show how we spent another busy day(s) making gifts. I had some grand plans for a much larger project (which I will explain later), however, we just plain ran out of time! The first step was to repeat our successful animal stencil project (remember how I mentioned I had plans for something else- well this is it!).
