Or should it be "Third Childhood"? I was going to name this post "Second Childhood, Part 2", but then I realized I've already written that one! So what else makes someone decide they really need a little animal family to make clothes for? I guess it's Second Childhood, Part 3!After a friend whose daughter has …
I know, it's really supposed to be "Inktober"... But I really wasn't crazy about the prompts list for this year, and I didn't feel like making up my own. No offense, you understand. I just wasn't crazy about them.So I took my favorite panda notebook with me when I went to have my car checked …
"I just want to drink coffee and make pretty things!" I've used that quote before, in "Coffee and Pretty Things", but it is so true for me that I had to use it again. In fact, I think I need to change it to "I just want to drink coffee and make everything!" So I …

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 them …
"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. Panda had been thinking of somewhere we could go for an adventure, and had finally settled on Monterey. "It'll be perfect," …
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 …
