round about:
branches, gold foil, pompoms, or buttons?

Thumbnail image for round about: </br>branches, gold foil, pompoms, or buttons?

Christmas is such a sneaky holiday. You wouldn’t think so, would you? We know the date is the same every year, it always follows Thanksgiving like clockwork. It’s not like popular culture would let us forget it – between the commercials, the specials, the malls, the catalogs, etc. Yet somehow, I’m never really ready for […]

The things that stand out this week are little things: a cuter than cute toddler in the waiting room at my chiropractor’s office, and finishing up a handknit baby hat for an upcoming baby shower. Hmmm, it appears I have a little bit of baby fever? Ah well, it comes with the territory. Now, I’m […]

Modern, but classic, timeless, and full of play value. Those are the things I love to find in a toy – and the things I can’t wait to share with you. I’ll be honest, the first thing that drew me to desEnfantillages was the minimal styling and color palette. But don’t be fooled, desEnfantillages has […]

Dear me, it’s happening again. I’ve found something so sweet and perfect that I need to find a baby to give it to. Even if that involved stopping a random new mom in the grocery store and shoving the shoes on her little baby’s feet! Ok, I think instead of scaring a perfectly harmless stranger, […]

There are just so many great ideas for Easter – and all of them have I-can-make-that-myself written all over them. Whether it’s Easter eggs or Easter Trees (my mom’s was a favorite of mine, as a kid), or cotton ball bunnies with the kiddos, it’s a season worth making for. So here are some of […]

Featured in the DailyBuzz Moms 9×9 My little Birdie watches me knit and wants desperately to join me. But her patience level – among other things – just isn’t ready quite yet. So I’m always looking for other yarn-based projects she can sink her teeth and hands into. Making traditional “God’s Eyes” into Halloween-worthy spider […]

Our week has disappeared in a haze of a broken satellite TV receiver, a broken dishwasher, a kid with a cold, and several dreary cloudy afternoons. I think it’s probably a good thing that it’s Friday. The highlight of the week, by far, was going to Birdie’s new Montessori school for a Parent’s Education Night. […]

Contemporary artist Troy Emery’s crafty decorative taxidermy is pretty brilliant. Literally, and on a more theoretical level too. I’d like to do my own homage in honor of him. See many more rare animals of the crafty kind at Troy Emery’s site.

I’m nurturing a love affair with pom poms. They’re just so light and fluffy and easy. Plus, there’s something about my perfectionist tendencies that thrives on my ability to make a “perfect” sphere out of yarn. I came up with this silly chubster bunny as an excuse really – I wanted to make something for […]

I always enjoy reading the original (it’s my only fashion mag subscription!). So thank heavens I happened to spot the first issue of Lucky Kids over the weekend! And yep, it’s […]

Now that we’ve finally recovered from our birthday party sugar highs, the family and friends, and the sweet birthday gifts, it’s time to share a quick how-to tutorial for those funny hats.
