Hello friends, we had such a lovely cozy Christmas. I hope you did too. :)
From the beginning of Dec. my kids started their countdown.
They put alot of love into cards & handmade gifts for Jason, I and each other.
All the small traditions we look forward to make the holiday feel very special!
I worked on...
I finally finished a small polaroid scrapbook that I have been planning to do for awhile.
It’s all about Autumn.. special memories.. her favorite toys, dresses, color, activities..
alot of journaling about the many ways she made us laugh & smile at the age of 2-4.
It’s about to be wrapped and placed under the tree for Christmas....
This week’s project is a Christmas wreath made from fabric leaves and felted pompoms.
My sister’s and I had a fab weekend to ourselves… sewing, knitting, felting, watching good movies, and eating too much food.. :D
I’m still smiling and I have many new projects to share!
Also, a huge THANK YOU to all who participated in last...
This week my project is a handmade envelope with a set of 4 cards from my etsy shop Skippy Designs.
It is a small token of my appreciation for you. Thank you for your friendship on this blog.
I’m not sure what draws you here.. not my wit or wisdom… hehe ;-)
but if you love life, photography,...

We had a relaxing weekend eating sugar cookies and playing games.
I am working on a wreath for my mantle and a wool project. First time felting.. I’m a little nervous. :)

What projects...
I used some extra fabric leftover from my pillow project for a handmade jumper for my daughter.
It looks perfect for summer play, but I think I will layer it and add leggings underneath for winter.
Brr… it’s finally getting cold here. Time to hibernate inside and think of some winter crafts… maybe a giveway too! :)
I don’t know who is happier about this corner.. the boy or the mom! :) My son has been hinting, suggesting, begging me for a desk for his homework, art, and writing.
Especially with Christmas coming.. it was the only thing on his list. I recently found a flea market bargain and we both sanded, painted...
A new pillow for my couch this week! I found a small patch of vintage fabric off etsy and repurposed some trim from an old skirt.
I’m so inspired right now by the combination of retro florals. I also threw a vintage bedspread over the back of the couch for more color.
Happy Tuesday :) A simple project this week. I have a small collection of soda pop lids that I put to good use for my boy’s room.
They turned out to be a great fix for displaying things on a cork board. I used a magnet & super glue to hold the tack in place on...
One vintage pillowcase, inspiration from a children’s book, $10 supplies from Hobby Lobby, and one very happy flower fairy!
The Song of
The Marigold Fairy
Great Sun above me in the sky,
So golden, glorious, and high,
My petals, see, are golden too; They shine, but cannot shine like you.
I scatter many seeds around;
And where they fall upon the ground,
More...
