With this year being not much of a celebration of the fourth of July, with beaches being closed and fireworks being cancelled, it calls for a bit of a craft celebration! Last year I worked on fourth of July and I wanted to make the day more fun for my clients so I wrote up a pattern for an American Flag Pom Pom. They were such a hit and a cute little way to be festive, pass the time and engage in a perfect coping skill. The best of all the worlds!
Read MoreI think my dad is cool. Do you think that your dad is cool? If you answered yes to that question you should probably make your dad this pennant. It is easy and you don’t even need a sewing machine!
Read MoreEvery year at around this time, I come across the same question. What do I get my dad for Father's Day? My dad, like many others, is the type of guy who just buys himself something if he really likes it. He doesn't wait for someone to get it for him, though sometimes he will tell me or one of my siblings to get him something that he saw and liked and didn’t want to buy himself. Every year I end up looking at these lists that do not scream my dad at all. They are very focused on fishing and grilling which may work for your dad, but does not work for mine which is why I am making this list. I hope that your dad is like mine and you can benefit from this list.
Read MoreToday is the most fun holiday because it is completely full of my favorite thing, RAINBOWS! I feel like I have been preparing for my whole life leading up to this, (have I mentioned my rainbow necklaces on here yet? It is an obsession to say the least). Anyway, a few years back I sewed my first felt rainbow ornament for my Christmas tree and it was so very fun! I enjoied layering the colors atop one another and also learning a new sewing stitch to sew it like a stuffed animal. I figured with everyone staying home this week, this could be the perfect sewing craft and you can also make a kid version one where instead of sewing you just use some glue! Let’s get it started!
Read Moret is very close to St. Patrick’s Day which means, get ready for some MORE RAINBOWS!! (say it just like the MORE COWBELL SNL sketch). I like to live in a very colorful and rainbow world. I have been obsessed with rainbows for a long time! Que high school me and my rainbow necklaces. Now that I am an adult, my love for rainbows just exists in pom poms and weavings.
Read Moream a New Yorker which means I have to be a lover of soft pretzels. Moving to Boston, there are less opportunity for a soft pretzel at any moment. See as it was Mardi Gras the other day you can say that I have had them on my mind lately and really just want to eat one (I should maybe check my freezer and see if I have a frozen one in there).
Read MoreWho doesn’t love a good Little Debbie treat?? Well, KC really loves cosmic brownies. When we first started dating I used to get them for him every time I saw them. To be honest I still do that, but they are hard to find in our area! Normally for Valentine’s Day I get him a new backpack and fill it with boxes of cosmic brownies. Today is February 23 2020 and for the past 7 years we have celebrated every 23 in the year. For this month I wanted to make my own cosmic brownies to celebrate! Follow along if you want to make your own as well.
Read MoreI recently bought a lot of new pans, including heart shaped cake and cupcake pans and I have been really excited to use them! Finally it is Valentine’s Day and POOF the perfect DIY popped into my brain! I am not a baker by any means but these cakes were quite easy and making the letters were even easier.
