I don’t know about you but once it starts getting hot outside I don’t like turning on the oven or even cooking on the stove for that matter. And even though it’s not quite summer on the calendar yet it was 89° here yesterday. THAT is summer to me. So I thought I’d track [...]
To tell you the truth, I’m not a HUGE fan of summer. I’m a child of the cooler months – Spring and Autumn to be more precise. Bugs, sunburn, heat and humidity are not my thing. But when I recently received a box of beading goodness from Blue Moon Beads and saw the beautiful [...]
As you know, I’m off in Chicago at the summer CHA (craft and hobby association) trade show and my friend Laura Bray from katydiddys has generously offered to guest post for me today. I’m madly in love with this bag to hold canning jar rings! I have NEVER known how to store all [...]

And now let’s [...]
Yesterday I shared with you my Sharpie Tie Dye for Kids. It’s certainly not a brand new craft idea but I’ve taught it at least once a summer for the past couple of years and I always manage to find a group who HASN’T done it. Lucky me! The photo above is another sample I [...]
