I'm so excited to say that Doug just accepted a job in Ohio! We are super excited for the move -it's close to where I grew up, and my family is still out there. I've lived on the opposite side of the country from my family for so long I can hardly believe my luck. Still, as excited as we are to be in Ohio, getting there isn't a super fun process. I keep telling myself, "We only ... View Post
Little Yellow Duckling Bookmarks
Twice a month I volunteer at my church organizing an activity for girls ages 8-12. It's set up kind of like girl scouts, so we have goals we work on each meeting to help the girls pass off certain skills. When I heard about The Little Yellow Duck Project,I knew my girls would love making duck themed items and hide them around town. And since we're always looking for new ways for them to cross ...

Very professionally put together and I love the tone that she uses to write instructions- I felt like I was hanging out with a girl ... View Post
The Best Way To Add a Bell to a Softie
I just made up a few snowman balls from Art to Heart's new book Table Please Part Two (I have to do holiday things super early or they never get finished! You can see how they turned out here). The sound of bells always reminds me of the holidays, so I wanted to put a bell in each one to make them a bit more festive. Have you ever tried that? The result is so disappointing! Instead of the ... View Post
Forming Our Own Maker Meeting
Lately, Doug's been following a few Maker Groups made up of lots of different kinds of engineers who get together, learn from each other's knowledge base, and create new, exciting electronic gizmos. (Ok, my explanation is definitely lacking technical knowledge... but you get the idea.) The idea sounds so great, and Doug, being a computer engineer, would love to join something like it. So last ... View Post
