In-the-hoop Cookies

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. So, for Valentine's day I decided to make decorated...

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 doesn't talk much and is too young to remember...

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.
