Thankful Tree

· categorized in Kids, Life, Miscellaneous,

Thankfulness can change your life! When you make a decision to be thankful for the blessings you have… you can’t help but be caught up with joy. No matter how bad things are, even when it’s hard to say one thing you are thankful for, when thankfulness enters the picture, the atmosphere changes. I’ve been …

Huggable Art Part 2

· categorized in Kids, Sewing Tutorials,

This is a part two from yesterday’s post on how to make your kid’s art huggable. So today, I’ll tell you how I put the hair on the little girl Drew wanted to make from her picture. When Drew said her Little Lady needed pigtails I was totally intimidated! Sewing hair on a doll just seemed …

Huggable Art

· categorized in Kids, Sewing Tutorials,

Once again I got inspiration from Pinterest for this project and I give credit where due for this awesome idea. Here is where I saw the idea to turn a child’s drawing into a pillow/stuffed doll-ish thing. Unfortunately there was no instructions or more info about them there so I decided to do it my own …

Rainbow Playdoh

Non-Fried Green Tomatoes

· categorized in Food, Garden,

Aforementioned was the fact that I’ve got an abundance of green tomatoes this year. I’ve been researching what to make with them but the go-to recipe for green tomatoes seems to be fried. I’m not a fan. So beyond the green tomato salsa I already made, and the gallon size bags I’ve filled with green …

Green ‘Maters and Mean Peppers

I woke up this morning to this site on my counter… my midnight creation. Green tomato salsa. Very tasty! Autumn definitely is busy for me. I want to create… gather… cook and preserve. We’ve had frosts for a few nights now and I had to rescue the rest of the tomatoes from the cold though there …

Sunshine Girl

· categorized in Kids, Miscellaneous,

There is something about little girls. They are so precious, sweet, and tender. A seemingly little thing, like telling them they are beautiful, can be like sunlight and water to a delicate flower bud. My 7 year old (as of yesterday… Happy Birthday, Drew!) still wants “her song” sung to her every night at bedtime… …

Supers
