Making Stuff: Puppets from Recycled Materials

by This is Carrie on May 9, 2011

I’m happy to be a part of the “Puppet Play: 20 Puppet Projects Made with Recycled Mittens, Towels, Socks & More” blog book tour because there is nothing I love more than recycled crafts and creative play.  Luckily, we got our copy of Diana Schoenbrun’s new book just in time for a fun, Spring Break, […]

Tutorial: Bow Tie For Your Little Guy

by This is Carrie on May 5, 2011

When I decided to make the boys bow ties for Easter I scoured the web for a pattern & tutorial.  And wow, there are tons. But none were quite what I was looking for.  I wanted these ties to be the real deal. Ones that you have to actually tie *gasp*. I wanted to spend […]

Making Stuff: Money Cuff

by This is Carrie on May 4, 2011

I bookmarked this great little money cuff tutorial at A Lemon Squeezy Home a while back and decided little Lolly’s 6th birthday was a perfect time to make one up. Hopefully she still like elephants. And if not, I hope the $5 bill stuffed inside makes up for it.

Making Stuff: Bow Ties

Egg Hunt

by This is Carrie on May 2, 2011

I was determined to make the neighborhood egg hunt around the cul-de-sac a challenging event that would last more than 10 minutes.  I considered it a success when the kids were still looking for (and finding) eggs the next day.
