3 Trees in a Row This is print that I made for a charity auction for Chick’s school. I urge anyone local to come check it out because it is going to be a super fun time. A rockin’ band will be playing, there will yummy food, wine, local hard cider, home brew, and lots…
remake :: sunny bird string
Chick and I used brown paper grocery bags from my new best friend, the recycling bin, to make groovy sunny bird strings. First, we painted. Then, we let our new blue paper dry in the sun. I decided to use two different blues and purposely made it streaky because I like how it makes each…
remaking
I love garbage! Well, not fully. But, I do love sifting through junk mail and recycling to find little treasures. Since coming to realize some new ways to use my beloved recycling, the cheery crafter in me decided that this could all be a big, fun personal challenge where I encourage myself to use five…
inside
Even though it was 23˚ outside this morning, we are busy cultivating spring inside. A friend gave us this hearty crocus that seems to want to grow more and more new flowers each day, and I have been concentrating on carving woodsy animals and plants that love to frolic outside in the warm spring air….

heart strings
We made heart strings for Valentine’s Day. It all began with Trader Joe’s paper bags that had pretty red designs on the back and my love for sewing things that are not fabric. I cut the paper bags so they were flat, mixed up some pink, purple, and red paints, and set Chick to work…
noon
Shortly after we arrive home from picking Chick up from preschool, Miss Mouse beds down for her afternoon nap. The house becomes sleepy and quiet. On sunny days, the living room floods with light. While I chop and melt and spread, Chick usually begins to gather supplies for the daily birthday party or picnic that…
potato
We belong to a beautiful and fruitful CSA (community sustained agriculture) farm where, at the end of the fall, we went home with way more potatoes then we could possibly eat. So, we got crafty and made potato stamps. They will rot after a few days, which is the perfect excuse to become obsessed with…
