After all our searching for Valentine crafts and various homemade options my 6 year old daughter has declared that she only wants store bought valentines for her classmates.. preferably Spongebob with included gummy crabby pattie.
Does she knew she is breaking my heart?
I begged her to do the glowstick wands… then I pulled out all the...

Destashing-stage 1
For all those who are interested, my first step in destashing on ravelry.
A bottle of crackled amber love…
Do you ever wonder what separates one vintage find from the next? Why does one item become a huge craze that everyone is after - becoming the article feature in next month’s ‘Martha’ yet the next just collects dust on the overcrowded shelves of antique shops across the country?

A little wisdom for 2009…

Tink
I wanted to cat-nap her to my house! Here’s little Tink.
Adventures in the new kitchen..
