Ramblings of a Christian Mom
Need a few last minute gifts? Do you have 15 minutes? Make some rice-filled hand warmers! All you need is some scraps of fabric (for one pair of hand warmers, you need 4 pieces about 3.5 by 4 inches), some rice, and some thread. If you don't have a sewing machine, this is such a small project that it still wouldn't take you very long! Sorry I [More...]
Crocheted butterfly hat from this blog tutorial. I ended up using a thinner yarn than I was supposed to, so even after I added several rounds it's a bit small (I was working on it while Annie was sleeping so I couldn't measure), but I'm very pleased with how it turned out!

I looked around Pinterest for a while, then finally stumbled on this. I used the [More...]
I found this cute felt Christmas wreath craft idea on Pinterest, and decided to change it a bit to make it more toddler-friendly. You Need: pipe cleaners scraps of felt, cut into small squares, with a hole cut in the middle (you can use circles, but squares were faster and easier to cut.) Pick lots of colours! I tried to have several [More...]
Do you love the idea of sandpaper alphabet cards, but are too lazy to make them? I was. So I did this instead. I went to Walmart, bought a set of glittery green chipboard letters for I think under $4.00 (and there were extras of some of the letters) in the scrapbooking section. I cut up some card stock (though you could use index [More...]
