Here's another little tidbit that will eventually become part of my Easter mantle, and I'm making it available to you too as a free printable! He has risen! I had started playing around with word art in Picasa after reading about how easy it is. Picasa, word art?...
I'm finally starting to work on my Easter decorations, which means, I'm finally going to take down my Christmas wreath. (Yes, it's true, it's still hanging up there on my mantel, but I've also learned an important lesson through my laziness. I had weaved some boughs...
A couple of weeks ago, in a post full of randomness and my current projects, I posted a picture of a diaper tricycle I made for a friend's baby shower, and I received a few requests to post a tutorial. So here I am! I put together some photos and drawings to help...

One of the gazillion Christmas presents given to J this year was a pair of incredibly cute polar bear socks, with paw prints on the feet and a parade of polar bears around the ankles. But with the hardwood floors in our house and the way Josh likes to just throw his...
Thank you all so much for the sweet comments on my braid scarf! It was featured at Flamingo Toes on Friday, and as I was checking it out, another one of Beverly's "crushes" really caught my eye - the Morse Code Necklace by Jennifer at TwoButterflies. I mean, how cool...
