This year we made a handprint turkey, pinecone turkey and yarn ball turkey. All pretty easy and took less than 10 minutes [...]
Now that Halloween is over I’m ready to start thinking about Thanksgiving…then after that Christmas! Can’t skip Thanksgiving!

So on my Thanksgiving vacation I learned how to make adorable satin hair flowers. When I explained to the lady at the Utah fabric store what I was trying to make she acted like EVERYBODY but me knew how to make satin hair flowers already. I feel crafty until I visit Utah and then I [...]
