Sewing, Crafting, & General Creative Fun
Yesterday, my house was infested with mice! 24 of them, in various shades of green. They were felt of course. The idea isn’t mine to claim – someone on Martha Stewart’s team gets credit for that. They provide a template for you to cut out – go here for their tutorial. I was looking for… [Continue Reading]
My favorite holiday drink is peppermint hot chocolate. Or, add espresso and make it a peppermint mocha! Hopefully my daughter’s teachers like it too, because she took a couple of these little jars to them for presents today. I found a pack of 12 pint size Ball jars on clearance at Target a while back.… [Continue Reading]
We began this weekend with an evening drive around town looking at Christmas lights. If you haven’t listened to the Christmas station on Pandora yet, I highly recommend you give it a try when you do your light looking. It plays Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra, and basically any classic Christmas song I could think of.… [Continue Reading]

When I’m a little stressed, there are two wonderful cures for it. One is coffee. The other is making up a pattern and sewing something. Neither of those sound like they should work for stress relief, I guess, but they do. Last night, I was feeling a bit stressed. I’d seen a girl in line… [Continue Reading]

I’m really enjoying finding ways to save things from the recycling bin, repurposing them into Christmas decorations. I don’t have a lot of storage in my house, so the fact that I can toss my decorations at the end of the holiday season without feeling guilty is nice. So far, I’ve made gift boxes out… [Continue Reading]
Yesterday, a museum in our town hosted a kids’ Christmas event. The kids got to meet Santa and Mrs. Claus. There were treats and a magic show (which we missed), and best of all CRAFTS! My kids love crafts. When Jacob started a new parents’ day out program a few weeks ago, I promised him… [Continue Reading]

The downloadable freebie party continues, courtesy of the artist-in-residence here at my house (my husband!). Today, the download is a printable file to add some fun style to Christmas morning at your house. Do you wrap a present or two (or more!) to your child and label it “from Santa”? I thought that making those… [Continue Reading]

Hi there. I'm Sarah. My life these days is a happy result of the recession. I found myself unemployed Christmas 2010, and we decided that I should stay that way. So now I spend my days with my kids, playing and making things. It's really the best! Read More…
