• A Pretty Felt Playhouse -Part 2

  Finished! And with a little time to spare. We decided to just button down the sides instead of sewing them. It will make removing it from the table and folding it up for storage a little easier.

• What's a Tortilla Warmer?

  Sometime ago, I saw an advertisement for tortilla warmers and loved the idea. They looked fun and useful but the cost was $8.00 - $12.00 each, depending on the size, plus shipping. "What a great way to use up scraps!" I thought. So, I tore out...

• Leftover Minky and those Elusive Binks

  A friend gave me some leftover 5" squares of minky fabric the other day. There were not enough to make a quilt so I pondered what to do with them. In the meantime someone stepped on the clip that held the baby's pacifier so it didn't get...

  One of our granddaughters loves Frosty the Snowman. We sing the song daily - even when it is 100+ degrees here. We read the book almost as often.
