August Stuffie of the Month – Crocheted Aurora doll
Time for the August Stuffie of the Month! This month I am featuring a crocheted stuffie pattern! Princess Aurora by Ohana Craft.

This got me thinking about what my inspiration was for getting all crafty and diving into the […]

So as I said in my first post back (a few minutes ago) I am really trying hard to focus on projects for my kids this year – I have a list a mile long of things I want to make for them. But I did get in a few gift projects – mostly for […]

Crafty Christmas!
It was a crafty Christmas from the Robertson’s last year! I think I made about 90% of the gifts we gave. Yes, I am impressed with myself!! I am grateful for the money left in our childcard account since that is probably the only way I was able to get everything done – Olive got […]
