Inspired by mom's Make Your Own Buttons post, I decided to try my hand at making her some garden markers for Mother's Day. It was a success! They turned out great and now I must make myself a set. I used the same premo clay in ecru.

Summertime and the living is easy, fish are jumping and the cotton is high. Oh and it's smoothie season! Smoothies for breakfast, smoothies for snacks, smoothies for dessert! I have a collection of smoothie recipes and this is one of my favorites. If made with nonfat milk it is also a very healthy option for snack time. My kids will never turn 
I spotted the cutest sparkly clothes pins on my last trip through the local craft store! I dug through the entire bin looking for a color that would match my kitchen but could only come up with pink. It occurred to me that I was at a CRAFT store, so why not get the supplies to make clothes pin magnets in just the right color? Anything 
Fiber made from milk? Well, it's actually made from milk protein, casein to be exact.

It's 
A fun new friend came to live at my house!
She arrived in this over sized box.
My new Schacht Ladybug Spinning Wheel! :-D I impatiently pulled her out of the box in parts and got to work putting her together.
In the process, I ran across my own sweet little ladybug mascot perched on the side. After a few false starts, I hammered out the 
My husband Art and his best friend Luke jointly took up the hobby of brewing beer. Over the past few years, they've managed to get pretty good at it, too. Luke has made so many batches that his home has been renamed Killer Keller's Brewery. Not satisfied with beer brewing alone, Luke decided to create his own recipe for Kahlua. During our 
Planning a new project is one of my favorite activities. Starting is often way more fun than the actual knitting. Starting is exciting and full of promise - uncomplicated by reality, the project lives within my mind as perfect.
