Christmas is the perfect time to teach your kids about sewing basics. Banners for the holiday are simple projects that allow your children to explore their design skills. The fabric in my Christmas banner has metallic thread accents that give the finished banner the extra sparkle and shine that is the hallmark of Christmas decorating!

I know, I know... I can hardly believe it either, it really is time to start thinking about your plans for Christmas! It takes time and lots of planning to prepare your home for the holidays, so I'm getting a head start this year.

Painting on glass is fun for everyone... it's an inexpensive activity, but the rewards are amazing! I love to watch the excitement when I'm painting on windows. I spent many happy hours painting characters on the windows at my daughter's elementary schools. The kids would hover around, pointing and laughing... it's even more fun when you paint their names into your designs! Clean up is easy too

I spotted a wiggle worm in my garden today, and she's absolutely adorable! She was dressed in vivid fall colors, and was wearing a beautiful furry cap and matching boa. My garden is a favorite hang-out for wiggle worms of all shapes and sizes. This one has obviously been traveling, because she is wearing some fall foliage that isn't common to the desert. She's obviously ready for the fall

Paint a pot with acrylic paints, then add a selection of coordinating flowers. Acrylics clean up with soap and water, and silk flowers create an arrangement that is super simple to maintain.

Hurray, Hurray... it's finally spring! I've become quite fond of the winter weather in the Sonoran Valley... we're moving into the time of year when things are going to get really hot! So, I'm taking advantage of the cooler temperatures of spring, and creating some projects for the summer days ahead. The kids will be out of school soon, and looking for something to do... so I am busy preparing
