I want to give something away on August 28th, Tasha Tudor’s birthday.  I will have Princess of the Universe pick a name and we will give away this little doll house dresser.

Yes, the little matchbox drawers may be a bit wobbly, but so is Pooh’s spelling.  The inside surface of the drawers will probably be […]

Yesterday afternoon was fabulous.  I completed all my grocery shopping for the week, had accomplished my trip to The Scrap Exchange (having found exactly what I was looking for and then some), and came home to a quiet house in which to finish two projects.

Here is what I brought home from The Scrap Exchange.  It’s like opening […]

As I wrote a few days back, Princess of the Universe and I have been making blankets for the doll house.  In the gift from Louise was also a piece of cheery fabric — just perfect for a doll house creation.

Little doll boy has a new blanket, trimmed with pom-poms and a dream-filled little pillow […]

A short while back, Louise over The Pink Gate had a give-away.  I left a comment, of course knowing I might win (thinking I probably wouldn’t), but also just because she has such a wonderful, magical blog.  Well, I won!

I knew the moment I opened the box, it was even better than I dreamed!

The journal was […]

So last week I mentioned that a verse we were studying was Proverbs 14:15. 
“The simple believeth every word: but the prudent man looketh well to his going.”
Princess of the Universe and I talked about this verse and I told her what I thought it meant.  The moment trouble stirs, the simple jump in with both feet […]

Awhile back I posted about the arts and crafts area we set up in our living room.  A bit of history:  way back when, when we very first set up an art center, it was set up in the bedroom of Princess of the Universe.  It was a huge success.  She spent many hours creating and crafting.
Then we […]

An odd title, I know, but it’s what this weekend has been about. 

A Saturday Morning Yardsale
The weekend was good.  Even though I had to work on Saturday, I started out my early morning with a yard sale which was on the way to the local all-natural grocery store and farmer’s market.

There was a […]

I have to show you the newest piece of dollhous furniture we’ve made.  The last time I was at Goodwill, I found a wooden box with a lid that closed with hinges, only the hinges were broken.  For 99 cents, I knew it would make a perfect bed. 

With a hot glue gun and a collection […]

I have to tell you that I literally stand and dream over the dollhouse miniatures in the craft and toy stores.  They are so pretty.  So adorable!  But 20 dollars and upwards for a couch?  I don’t think so.  Not fitting into our budget right now, anyway.

However, I just knew I could make my own […]

That’s what I feel like I have.  Many treasures.  Sometimes when we sit down to eat supper, my husband will say, “Mommy, look around.  You’ve got all your babies with you.”  Indeed it’s true, and it does make me happy!  They certainly are not all babies anymore, but they’ll always be my babies, and how wonderful to go to […]
