Because Whimsical Always Makes You Feel Better!
"Dude, seriously?" Foster's voice sounded betrayed as he looked up at me. "It's not my fault," I replied from where Mom had put me on the chair in the vet's office. "I'm not the one who has to get shots."Foster sniffed and looked around. "No posters in here," he observed, and I remembered that the …
I was so pleased when I got this blue and green glass... Because I really wanted to make a peacock mosaic! Actually I made two. This is the first one, which is still not finished, because the tray needs to be painted. But there's nothing in the "Tracy project manual" that says you have to …
"Seattle!" We said the word in unison as we gazed down over the beautiful Seattle skyline. We had been on our way home from Monterey, or so we thought. "How did we get here?" Panda asked incredulously. I had to admit I had no clue. "I must have taken a wrong turn back there over …
What do you do with empty "Altoids" tins? Well, if you were my dad, you would save them for all kinds of projects. Not that I ever in my whole life saw him eat a single Altoid, you understand. But people would save this type of thing for him, or he would get boxes of …
"So Foster, what do you think?" I pondered for a minute before answering. We were sitting in my chair in the front living room, not long after Mom had made Panda his sweat suit.

Who knew you could make dolls out of wooden pegs? Well I must not have, because when I did see these adorable crafts on Pinterest they were an immediate "must try" item for me. I guess peg dolls weren't something I had really thought about before. I love their simplicity and variety, but most of …
Have you ever noticed that most teachers never throw anything away? Retired or otherwise, it seems teachers can always think of a possible future use for everything. Or maybe it's more accurate to say we're pretty sure we might think of a possible future use for stuff, and when we do, we will be glad …
I might have known... I might have known something was up when, once again, I found myself in the sewing room and heard Mom saying "Hmm...how should I do this?" You may have noticed that I've had several different outfits since my stuffing started coming out last year. I'm sure you also know by now …
I've always liked felt. Felt is a handy material to make things out of, partly because it doesn't fray when you cut it out, partly because it comes in so many colors, and it is relatively cheap. And you can make so many cute things out of it! Granted, I enjoy looking at felt ideas …
Or maybe I mean "A Sticker-y Situation"... Because while cactus thorns can stick you I guess they aren't technically stick-y. But anyway. We can do an English lesson on that another day. Right now I'm just worried about whether to say "cactus" or "cacti" or even "cactuses" while writing this post.In "Here is Yard Art", …
