Today on Art Bar Monday over at Small for Big, learn how to make this artsy LOVE garland. It’s a variation on last year’s Valentine’s theme, with the painted newspaper, but you can make it any way you want. Like most of my projects, there is lots of room for variation. Make it your…
Siblings + Love This {four}
Spending time with my sister and brother this holiday, and watching my own kids (who have the same birth order as I did growing up) made me realize once again that sibling relationships are like no other. My kids, they fight a lot. All three have strong personalities…there is not one of them who is…
Paper Snowflakes // Table Runner
Making paper snowflakes can be one of the most frustrating or most satisfying exercises ever. For little hands with dull scissors, it can be tough. Depending on the child, I think age five-to-seven is a good time to start practicing and letting them handle a sharper scissor. At first, make the snowflakes simple with just…

Repurpose / Reuse / Retrash
What do all of the above have in common? They are all things that have been brilliantly repurposed! Or upcycled…reused…retrashed. Call it what you will, it is an idea as old as time. Although nowadays, the movement has a fresh face thanks to Pinterest! As you know, I have a fondness for making things from…
Kid Made: Thankful Table
Thanksgiving is my absolute favorite holiday because it is all about food, family, and relaxation. The absence of gift-giving takes takes away all pressures, and the long weekend that follows is always lazy and perfect. Sleeping in, family hikes, football games, leftovers, making crafts (of course)…it’s all good for the soul. Last year we had…
