{Toadstools} another fun, easy-to-make gift for the kids

This was one of the more fun little things that I’ve made recently and so super cute!  As I posted a few days ago, I am trying to center a lot of the toys in our playroom around the tree house that Scott and his dad made for the girls a few years ago.  So, one of […]

Ornament Advent Calendar

I have to take a short break from our home made Christmas gifts to talk about our Advent Calendar, lest December slip right past me and I never mention it.  Which would be a shame because I just love it. I have seen some great Advent Calendars and I really wanted to make a special one—but […]

Felties

It’s the season for shopping again.  In the Ferguson house, we have chosen to make all of our gifts for everyone this year, including our children.  In that spirit I thought I’d share some great gifts to make as gifts for kids. One thing that my kids have had a lot of fun with are felties.  “What […]

Autumn Leaf Table Runner

I just can’t get enough of fall.  The colors are just magnificent.  The air has such a wonderful crisp feel.  Fall in Florida is different.  Some trees change, but it’s nothing compared to the brilliant northern autumn.  So, because of how much I love this colorful season, I made a table runner that is just bursting with […]

One Week of Willow – Day Four: Paper Lanterns

Birthday decorations in our house have become a very fun part of the party.  While I like for each party to be unique for each child, I also do enjoy theme parties, but still keeping the child as the main theme of the party.  Sometimes this can be challenging.  Two of Willow’s favorite things are […]

I was walking out of Laelia’s room recently and it dawned on me that almost everything around me had been handmade by someone we love and who apparently loves us too. These things are such a wonderful reminder of those special people—people who live close […]
