Ask my son what he wants for dinner and his answer will most likely be “sushi!” Of course, he doesn’t really eat actual sushi, but we go to our favorite sushi spot and sit at the bar. They bring him bowls of miso soup with rice and heaps of tofu and little plates of crab(…)
I’ve been working on a creativity corner in Jax’s playroom since last summer when he was just old enough to start coloring with chalk instead of eating it. This past Christmas, his wonderful aunt and uncle bought him an adorable art desk from his wishlist that looks so great with the chalkboard I made for(…)
I’ve been wanting some art for Jax’s playroom for quite a while. Large scale art is quite expensive, so it was time for a little DIY. I knew the first piece I wanted to make would involve the alphabet. Jax can recognize 90% of the alphabet and loves to point out the letters he knows.(…)

When a treasure chest was requested on the Facebook page, all kinds of ideas started popping into my mind. Maybe I went a bit overboard, but I’m not one to craft something halfway! This page engages a lot of skills: tying a ribbon (on the map), unlocking a lock (on the chest) and pulling things(…)
I’ve totally fallen in love with sewing with felt since starting my quiet book project. You know that feeling when you try out a new craft and it just feels right? That. Our current budget only allows me to get cheapy ¢25 felt sheets from the craft store and design my own patterns,(…)
This dump truck was designed to go along with the forklift page I created by request. Since I wrote “Up & Down” on the forklift, I wanted to do another set of opposites on the matching page. A dump truck with “In & Out” sounded perfect! To make this page I used: green background felt,(…)
Here is a look back at the quiet book pages I completed in 2011. I didn’t start working on them until September, so I’m proud I created 19 pages! A few were created to go together in 2-page spreads. (Number 20 is complete but not posted.) Click a thumbnail below to visit a post: (…)
This quiet book page is a special request. If you have a request, leave comment on my Facebook page and I’ll see what I can do. I knew nothing about forklifts when I started this page, so I had to look at a lot of pictures and figure out how to simplify(…)
