As a child, I always loved the song, We Three Kings. The thought of these wise men leaving their lives and setting off by faith to find the Messiah is such an amazing concept. And the star they followed inspired this Christmas craft of a cinnamon stick star sign. O star of wonder, star of …
I have a thing for making homemade Christmas ornaments. I just love it. I love homemade items, since they just feel so much more thoughtful to me. So I decided to make ornaments again this year. Last year, the kids made Star and Christmas Tree Ornaments from craft sticks, and I made Homemade Keepsake Ornaments. …

I love making my own bias tape. I’ve found that it saves me money, since store-bought bias tape is pretty expensive. But even more than the money saving is the fact that I can make bias tape that exactly matches my project, instead of choosing from the scant plain bias tapes offered. I can make …
For our homeschool preschool co-op, my friend Anna brought this fun and easy idea of making paper heart garland. She got the idea from Pinterest, but I have no idea what the source was. I thought I’d share it today, since Miss Magoo had a blast with this. When I asked her what her favorite …
