  The girls love to play with the kitchen that their dad made for them. Their play kitchen isn't tucked away, it is staged in the great room of their house. So, they play with it lots.

• 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. Kate got to see it during the final fitting since she is...

• A Pretty Felt Playhouse - Part One

  OK. It is the Thursday before Christmas! A few weeks ago my daughter showed me a picture of a playhouse made from felt. It fit over a card table. Very cute and felt is easy to work with. So I planned one for the girls for Christmas. When I showed my drawings...

• Keeping It Simple - Show and Tell

  I hope your holidays were full of fun with family and friends. I listened to people make their New Year's resolutions the other night. Some were new but many were the same old ones they make every year and find so difficult to keep. So, we talked...

• Keeping it Simple - Easy Runners for Small places

  A while back, our oldest daughter painted her dining area walls orange. We all thought she was a little crazy but with her black furniture it actually looks very nice. She has a small table on one side and has been looking for a runner for quite some...

But the girls are very excited about dressing up for these events...

• Keeping It Simple - Spiders, Ruffles and Ghosts, Oh My!

  Halloween is just around the corner and with so many costumes to make this year I decided two things: 1) They need to be fairly simple, and 2) I need to start earlier than I have in the past. The two older girls each have a definite ideas of what they...

• Keeping It simple - Frosty the Minky Pink Snowman

  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. So I decided to create a Frosty sweatshirt for her even though winter isn't here yet. When I asked her...

• Keeping It Simple - Sewing for Sunday

  It has been a busy couple of weeks. Our youngest has a baby girl now overdue. But for several weeks she was put on bed rest - mostly due to extreme swelling. So the rest of the family shared taking care of the other two (five years and two years old)...
