As a crafter, I love making my kid clothes, and making Halloween costumes is especially fun. Last year I spent several hours over a week or so making the Bit’s Yoda costume, which was quite cute even though the hat didn’t fit and she started screaming before we even got to the next-door neighbor’s door.

Couldn’t Get Away From Crafting, Even if I Tried
It’s no secret that I love crafting in all its forms. I make stuff for my kid, stuff for me (occasionally). I make stuff for a living (at least in part). I love to make gifts when I have time, and I like to make cards. But. I came across some crafting this morning in […]
Rainbow Pom-Pom Garlands!
The Bit had a three-year-birthday celebration that lasted a good three weeks (with three parties!), and we finally finished up with her big party with friends at Boingo Bounce, a local indoor place full of inflatables. She’d originally said she wanted a party at home with friends, which I was totally down with, but Boingo […]

Make Your Own Chalkboards with Clear Chalkboard Coating
I haven’t been doing a lot of crafting lately, other than knitting for my book, which is going to be the way it is for the next six weeks. We’re going to get pretty far away from the goal that’s stated in the name of this blog, and I beg for your patience in that […]
Monday Morning Making: A Lesson About Being Prepared
Over the weekend we bought an itty bitty pumpkin at the grocery store. It’s a little early to decorate for Halloween, but pumpkins in their whole form are perfectly appropriate for fall, and they’re cute, so why not? Last year I let the Bit paint a pumpkin, so that’s what she wanted to do again. […]
