Funny June Weather
After a few beautiful days, we got this yesterday: Someone needs to explain this weather to me. Today I put in my herb garden. It was freezing and the wind was crazy. Silly me for trying to garden! If you haven’t signed up for the facebook page yet, there’s still time to get the free [...]

Felicity Fabric Flower Pattern-Free Download
I’ve been making these fabric flowers for a couple of weeks now and named the little pattern after my sweet little red-head. I first made this pattern for Siri’s ruffle dress that I’ve been working on (pinwheel and pearls in the center), but I also like it with the big button on this shirt featuring [...]
interNational Scrapbooking Day-Freebie
All the hail and sleet the last couple of days gave me some extra “inside time” to get this freebie together for you in honor of interNational Scrapbooking Day! Otherwise, I’d still be in my yummy lime green gardening boots planting ranunculus in my front yard! So here’s some of the fun going on at [...]

A Super Post- A Free Download, A Giveaway, and A Good Cause
I’d like to start with the good cause because, well, it’s the most exciting for me! My little sister SuiKim (pronounced “Sweet-Kim” without the “t”) and her husband Steve found out a couple of weeks ago that they have been chosen to adopt a little baby boy! I’m especially happy for SuiKim and Steve, who [...]
Canister (Flour & Sugar) Labels-Free Download
I got into a bit of an organizing mood today and hacked at my kitchen. Part of the mood was due to these new air-tight canisters I bought. These happy tiffany- blue tops made me want to really get things in order. I then made these labels (perfectly neutral, of course, if you’d like to [...]

Craft Project-How to Make an Easy Octopus Costume
Yes, my daughter wanted me to make her an octopus costume for her birthday. So how could I refuse? I kept it simple by buying a t-shirt (with the gems already on it) and women’s long socks. Add some filling, a t-shirt transfer kit and my sewing machine and I was set. The only problem? [...]
Neighbor Gift Tags-Free Download
I just finished up my neighbor gifts—easy-to-make chocolate dipped pretzel rods. The girls helped me and we managed to make quite the mess. All you need to do to make this gift is melt carmel candies, dip pretzel rods in the “goop,” let them cool, and then dip them in chocolate. We also dipped ours [...]

Paint a Tree In Your Kid’s Bedroom-Free Download
I’ve been a busy girl. I’ve been working on my little girl’s bedroom since moving into our new house last month. It has been so satisfying to finally be able to paint! While I don’t feel like it is fully finished, I still thought I’d share what I’ve done with you. And, if you are [...]
Paper Flower Wreath: Free Pattern
I finally got around to this project! This little paper flower wreath was a big hit with my girls as they pranced around the house with them all day! I recently got a Silhouette from QuicKutz, which makes this little project a breeze! But if you don’t have a Silhouette, the flower shapes are simple [...]

In anticipation of Project Mania, I have a free download today! It’s an autumn event schedule…something I really needed for myself. If I don’t plan it, I don’t do it. And last year we never made it to the Pumpkin Patch, I never did my fall cleaning, and I waited until the last minute to [...]

My New Mini-Office Space & Free Tag Download
I have to call it a space because that is what it is. It’s not a room. It’s not a studio. It’s a space. A 4 feet x 6 feet bit of space to be exact (if you count all of the rug). It located in my bedroom (something I don’t recommend, but under current [...]
Valentine Gifts for Preschoolers
I posted my valentine freebie from card nirvana earlier, and we actually used them today for Siri’s preschool class! I printed them out back and front, Siri wrote in all her schoolmates names. We then attached the heart lollipops to the cards by punching a little hole in the corner. Fast and sweet…just the way [...]
