I did a complete inventory of all my craft supplies when I did up my craft room back in the spring and found lots of things I hadn’t used in a very long time, or ever. One of those things was a packet of sticky back canvas sheets from Claudine Hellmuth that I bought to cover some journals years ago, but never did. This […]
Scandinavian woven hearts placemats

It’s November! It’s okay to make and post Christmas crafts openly now, right? For the past few years I have made felt ornaments for our tree.

Her favourite thing of all is painting, but baking and gluing come a pretty close second. No surprise then that her favourite holiday craft so far has been making […]
