Botanical Pumpkins

Botanical Pumpkins

I’m all about fun pumpkins for the kids, but sometimes you need to do something for yourself. So, these are for me, for you, and for anyone else who’s ever had a love of old botanical prints.  Easy to do and they’ll last forever.

Raven Frame Wreath

Raven Frame Wreath

I don’t know if it was Edgar Allen Poe or Tippy Hedren that officially made birds an official sign of Halloween for me. Either way, they’re an oddly elegant way to give the season a nod without hanging a skeleton on the front door. This wreath will only take an old frame and a craft…

Indian Corn Wreath

Indian Corn Wreath

Few things say fall like Indian corn.  Usually it’s relegated to a basket or nestled into a mantle display.  Well,no longer my friend, it’s time for it to stand in it’s full glory on the front door!  This wreath is very easy to make, so pick up a few extra ears at the pumpkin patch…

Ice Dye Pillows

Ice Dye Pillows

Move over tie-die, hello ice-dye!   If you’ve never heard of ice-dying it’s time you did.  It’s sort of tie-dye’s older more sophisticated sister.  Not as messy and, I’d venture to say, a lot cooler if you know what I mean.

Spring Animal Coats

Spring Animal Coats

I’ve never liked putting the kids in their winter coats in the spring. Sure, it’s still cold outside, but those heavy winter coats just seem to insure that winter will never leave. So this year I got some cute spring coats on line and turned them into cute spring creature coats for the kids. With…

Carrot Fire Starter Bundles

Carrot Fire Starter Bundles

Just because it’s cold enough to have a fire in the fireplace, it doesn’t mean you can’t start celebrating spring with a basket full of carrots.  These carrots are made of grapevine with fresh rosemary greens  – toss them in the fireplace under your logs for a quick start, or leave them in a basket…

Nothing says lazy summer day like a gently floating butterfly. In an effort to keep those lovely days in mind all year long, I’ve created a butterfly cloche to remind myself that those summer days are never too far off.

Cornhusk Dolls

Cornhusk Dolls

Growing up near Colonial Williamsburg I have always been obsessed with early American crafts.  I saw some of the craftsmen there making cornhusks dolls as a kid and next thing I knew I had dragged my mom to the craft store to get the supplies.  We had a great time making them and even decorated our entire…

Countdown Calendar

Countdown Calendar

My kids are currently obsessed with the passage of time. “How many days ’til Halloween Papa?  When’s my birthday, Papa?  How many days ’til Christmas, Papa?”….over and over again.  So, to help them I’ve put together this Countdown Calendar – so they can learn about time, practice their numbers….and hopefully stope asking me so many…

Guilt-Free Popsicles

Guilt-Free Popsicles

Summer’s almost here and for my kids that means popsicles.  Now, as a parent, I always go through that internal tug-of-war whenever they ask for one…..I love popsicles myself, they are synonymous with summer on one hand and on the other they are full of sugar and lacking any real nutritional value.  So, I set out…
