Pin It I saw this idea on Pinterest and loved it. I had a wall just aching for this project… Cut out a zillion leaf shapes with lots of different smallish printed papers. I used blues/greens/browns because that’s my color comfort zone. Monochromatic papers work best I think. I used the Don Juan Cricut cartridge [...]
So remember those toddler neck ties from yesterday? I had to alter the original pattern (From here) to fit my baby and 4 yo, so I basically just changed the length. The basic shape is the same, I just made the smallest one 16″ long and biggest one 21″ long. These three sizes should [...]
Pin It I needed a photo for the cover of my blog book – I print our family blog a year at a time through Blurb and as I was putting it together over the last two weeks (part of the reason I’ve been MIA…it takes forever!) I realized I didn’t have a good family [...]

Pin It As we unearthed all our Christmas decorations this year I realized we had a stocking crisis. There are now 5 people in our family and we only had 3 stockings and they were hideous. The only solution to having cute, personalized, and coordinating stockings for our whole family was to make some! So [...]
Pin It I use my Cricut all the time to cut fabric for applique – mostly onesies and towels but also buntings and I may even do a quilt in the near future. I did this towel for a Christmas present and cut out the flower and name with my Cricut and it was so [...]
