Solid As A Rock

15 May

For Mother’s Day Griffin and I worked on a project for my Mom that has been on my “to do” list for a long time. After seeing this awesome idea for garden markers on Wabi Sabi Mama, I knew this would be something my Mom would like. We purchased some river rocks from the local [...]

Yarn Along

12 Apr

Knitting: I am still working on Griffin’s sweater. I have to admit, my knitting has been put aside a bit the last few weeks to make room for spring projects. I did have a chance to work on it while in the car heading up north this weekend. That gave me a few hours of [...]

A Birthday Gift For Daddy

A great Father’s Day project!

For the Birds

29 Mar

Our weather has been crazy nuts. Yesterday, we went from sleet to 50 degrees and sunny in about an hour. Then back to sleet and rain after another hour. It felt as though mother nature was confusing her stereo dial with her weather dial! It makes me thankful that we took advantage of all the [...]

Birdie Valentines

12 Feb

When I saw this post by Carla over at small + friendly pop into my reader, I knew what project Griff and I were doing for the week. This cute tutorial includes everything you need to make adorable valentines for the birds. Luckily, all I needed was bird seed. This is a great recipe for the kidlets. [...]

Mobile Friends

1 Sep

Okay, I admit it. I have not been good with projects for Griffin since I started my consulting gig.  Griff has been asking and asking when we would do another project. To be honest, I am usually busy running around the house, cleaning, doing errands, and trying to keep up on my days with him. [...]

Strawberry Dreams

16 May

Griffin saw strawberry plants while we were at our local store. He kept saying how someday he was going to plant strawberries. While listening to his wish, I started to think about how I have always wanted a strawberry pot myself. So I figured, what the heck? We searched up and down for the perfect [...]

Spring Cleaning, Donations and Voting

4 Apr

It’s that time again! It’s time to open the windows, dust off the cobwebs and clean the closets. We cleaned out our closets earlier this week to collect more blankets for the NHSPCA. You may remember last years post on “Blankets for Barking Babies”. We donated a large load of old baby blankets, swaddling blankets [...]

Preparing Flower Boxes

24 Feb

We still have a good foot of snow on the ground and more on the way for tomorrow. That didn’t stop us from preparing Griff’s cardboard house for the Spring. I’m not sure what made me think to do it, but I remembered back to when I was about his age and we use to [...]

Hearts and Buttons

8 Feb

This week I took another queue from Counting Coconuts for a fun February project. In her February learning line-up she has this fun project to teach children how to button. I thought we could take it one stop further and use this method to make a nice Valentine’s Day garland. I attached a button to the end [...]
