Homeschooling Education with Adventure and Fun!
My sister gave Savannah this stroller from The Land of Nod a couple of Christmas’s ago. She loves it! I love it, because it’s wood and not plastic. It has held it’s own against my kids…but, the fabric seat was starting to show signs of wear. So today…I decided to sew a replacement seat. It was super easy…beginning sewing. The most difficult part would be the zig zag appliqué. Lucky for you…I have a two part tutorial on that also.

These paper bows are so versatile! I first introduced them to use as pretty packaging in the stamp favor kits. Now, I’m going to show you how to make a paper bow garland. It’s so easy…you won’t believe it!

I was at {all together now}…” Target the other day”…and spotted these adorable wooden tops in…you guessed it…the $1 section. Apparently…I live there! Anyways…I snatched some up…because I thought….what darling little Valentines they would make!…
Make gumball witch legs…
You’ll need these items: {witch kicks pattern found at end of post}
Using at least 2 different color gumballs…alternate them until you have filled the pipette. After you cut your witch kicks…apply double sided tape to the top backside…then attach to pipette…slightly pinching it around the curve. Using a glue stick…apply a dab to top front…attach ric rac and tie knot. Voila!

I’ve been on a organization kick lately. I was born to purge…and when my life starts getting crazy…one of the things that centers me is organizing. My kitchen cabinets have been a mess for far too long. I’m constantly straightening them…only for them to end up like this.
and this…

I came across these metal stencils at Michaels a while ago…and I just knew they would make the coolest piece of wall art. For $1 a piece..I bought one of every letter they had and quickly started my aging process.

Since I got several requests about how I did my paintbrush invites, I decided to do a quick tutorial for anyone interested….
I was FINALLY able to complete part two of the appliqué series. Sorry it took so long…but, I wanted to make sure I covered everything….and it made sense.
I’ve been doing machine appliqué for a few years now. I absolutely love it! I started out with an embroidery machine, but wanted the freedom of my own designs. So, I researched, learned, and practiced my way to where I’m at now.

My kids absolutely love their Carolina Craft Table from Pottery Barn Kids. Not only does it look good, but the art paper roll attachment is awesome! Whenever they’re in the mood for drawing…just unroll, color/draw, tear off or roll back up. Well…I had this idea of doing a chalk cloth roll for the table. I just needed the empty paper roll to get started. They finally finished one yesterday, so it was time to put my little idea to the test….
