  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. Each Christmas Andrea has added felt food items to the kitchen....

• 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.

• 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.

• Keeping It simple - Bandanas - Perfect for Summer and No Need to Tie

  Our girls have longer hair but it is so fine. Pony tails and pig tails seem to last about 20 minutes before the hair starts creeping out and looks messy. We saw the teens at the park wearing bandanas to keep their hair back and the oldest commented that...

• 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.

• Keeping It Simple - Whoever's coming to visit they need a pocket pillow!

  With Christmas right around the corner the first thing that comes to mind is Santa Clause of course. We are all deep into our holiday projects and hopefully loving every minute of it.

  Last week Emma and I were at the fabric store picking up some fabric for my aunt who is 94 and still sewing. While we were looking Emma saw this horse fabric and went nuts over it.

• 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 - Tags All in the Hoop

  I went to have lunch with my granddaughter this week. It was fun but one thing that amazed me was how many lunch boxes looked just alike.
