DIY Lightbox

I was disappointed with the picture I posted of the soaps I made and after some investigation (yay for the internet), I decided to make my own lightbox.  There’s a  tutorial here.  I had most of the supplies on hand except some daylight bulbs and I also bought a worklamp.  My pictures were yellowish until [...]

Spooky soaps

A friend got me thinking about soaps again.  Here are some spooky soaps embedded with toy finger puppets.  They are T – approved!  He was excited to use his new soap and very anxious to get to the toy.  It will be a lesson in patience.  I tried to explain that it will take a [...]

Touching Trucks

This weekend our city sponsored free a “Touch a Truck” event where they had lots of big trucks set up for kids to explore.  They had a fire truck, police command station, police motorcycle, a bomb squad robot, city bus, tractors, just to name a few.  Is it a sign that my kids spent the [...]

Book Fair

Baby Stocking Cap

 
I finished this a few weeks ago but was waiting until the recipient received it before I posted.  I found the pattern here.  It was fun to knit up but took a little longer than most other hats I’ve done because this was done with sock yarn.  I thought it turned out super cute!

Because I’m a joiner…

My friend Mary Jessica, Queen of Halloween, is knitting 31 pumpkins in October!  I joined in the fun and knitted a grand total of two.  One for each of my munchkins.  They’re enjoying tossing them around.
I tried to take a picture of T holding the pumpkins.  Any time I try to take a picture of [...]
