Christmas crafty
Oh dear, my last post was a bit of downer… and I put my blog address on our holiday cards this year so I really must update! We still have been sorely lacking in the sleep department. But our super secret room re-do for the girls (from a Tuesday only bed on the floor room …
Collage – 100 days of Tombow
I have been given the opportunity to participate in Tombow’s “100 Days of Tombow”. Tombow sent me some of their amazing products, and in return I got to use them (and tell you what I did) and they donated money to the Council for Arts Education. A pretty amazing deal! For 100 years Tombow has …
Thrifted
Sciarrino and I have been on a roll lately thrifting. Probably replacing most of what we garage saled away, but oh well. I thought it would be fun to showcase some of the things I’ve found over the years, how I use them, what the deal was, etc. Tuesday is working with a Wonder Knitter …
Rainbow Rice, so easy, so awesome
We took this bin to the playground and it was the most popular thing there. Skip the food coloring/rubbing alcohol yuckiness. In a big ziplock – rice + liquid watercolor, just shake it. Dries almost instantly. I’m blogging with minimal words this February. I’d love to see snippets of your life in photos too, please leave …
Countdown to Alaska

I LOVE this project. We did this last year with our playgroup. While yes, it can be a little dangerous (the pin I found this idea from recommends ages seven and up). Yes, you get the rocks very hot (350 degree oven for 15 minutes). But I found that Tuesday could handle this well. She …

Melt for you
We did this super easy project on Valentine’s day. Crayons – wrappers + silicone mold + 10 minutes @ 250 degrees (give or take) = heart crayons! For the first round I had her keep colors similar, then let her go nuts once I realized they don’t blend too much. Old glitter crayons (from my …
Have you made DIY play dough yet?
Because it’s so easy and awesome! I think I’ve mentioned it before that I made some with Tuesday a while ago (months ago actually, and it’s still good, in it’s airtight container). There are tons of recipes on Pinterest, but I like this one. I haven’t actually made the dyes, but I do still dye …
Quick painting project
I found this link via Pinterest, and thought it sounded fun. I’ve used watercolor masks, but rubber cement was a quick and easy alternative. When I was up in Alaska I drove Tuesday and I out in the snow one day, and of course got lost. I ended up at a Michael’s though so it …
