It is easy to make a paper plate crown with kids. The cost is right also! We made this particular crown for another contribution to my AWANA Cubbies Series.

I've been wanting to do a weaving project with Ruby for awhile now...weaving a giant sun seemed like something that would totally appeal to her seven yr old sensibilities, and would appeal to this sun lovin' mamma as well! We started by collecting some sticks...4 of them cut into 4 foot lengths, laid into a star shape and then bound by twine, (actually, when I say "we" I mean, papa Toadstool did the work and I played my role as director and professional baby wrangler). Then we gathered up all the yellow material, roving, and yarn in the house. We cut our material into 2-3 inch strips, (then we attached the strips to make huge pieces by tying them together...you could also sew them together, but we like things easy here at the Toadstool)! We began ours by weaving in the roving first...I tied it to the first branch and then just went over and under the branches...pulling it tight as you go through each one. After the roving we started on the material. Doing it like a God'e Eye, (which is essentially what this is)...going under and over the first branch and then over and under on the next branch. Again...pull your material tight when you weave through each branch! We weaved until Ruby got sick of it, at which point we declared it was DONE!! Then this massive art piece went outside and into a tree...our own giant sun/art piece we can enjoy every day! I like that it will get weathered over the season and change...maybe birds will get bits of the yellow roving to use for their nests! This was a super fun project that we all enjoyed doing together...and a great BIG way to welcome the sun to your own backyard!! Here's Ruby with the finished "sun"...you can get an idea of how big it is!! Hope your day is sunny and bright! Maureen xo

I always have a project going. Quilting, scrapbooking, and many miscellaneous Christmas projects...quite a few have been completed, and many more are unfinished in the cupboard. I tried knitting once, but was never able to relax and find my groove. I ended up at the chiropractor to fix the consequences of stress knitting and that was the end of that. I also tried, for approximately five minutes, to learn to crochet a baby afghan. My sister makes the prettiest little blankets, and it looked like fun. I never took up my hook though. Yesterday, with the arrival of my Garnet Hill catalog, a new obsession was immediately born. I am in love with this (photo from Garnet Hill website) granny square (although I suppose it's hexagon) afghan. My love of all things granny started last year with this scarf. It was ridiculously priced at $68.00, so I simply admired it in the store. Apparently, everyone else thought it was over priced as well, and a full year later, it was on a killer clearance so I snatched it up. I have to admit, I never, ever, dreamed I would be into granny squares. Some things from the seventies should never be seen again, but with the right yarn and color combination, I feel sure granny is here to stay. Any other granny lovers out there? Will it be easy to learn? Crochet on.

Hi everyone! Hope you had a great start to the week! There’s still plenty of time to find a few crafts or activities to do in the lead up to Australia Day and here I’ve put together 10 awesome ideas! Some of these we have done before and some from around the net that we’re hoping to do. I hope you find something that you’d love to do with your kids this week! :o}1.

While blog surfing today I came across this print that I had no problem relating to, and I know I'm not alone. Don't you just adore her Happy Socks? The print is most appropriately called Yarn Love Affair and is available for $15.00 here.

Kawartha Lakes Mums Readers - Winter Preparations Crafts - What Do You Suggest? November 15 to 22, numerous Kawartha Libraries will feature crafts focussed on getting ready for winter, very appropriate considering the sprinkling of snow we've received already. We searched for some winter preparation craft ideas, and books you might like to check out. FTC Disclosure: Kawartha Lakes Mums welcomes family friendly advertising including affiliate links that meet with our editorial guidelines. This helps us put food on our table at no additional cost to our readers. What winter preparation crafts did we find? Kawartha Lakes Events- Library Crafts Nov 15-22 Glad you asked! Animals prepare for winter months by eating lots of food, storing food, changing colour for camouflage, flying south, or hibernating. Families prepare for winter by getting winter clothes, and tools ready.While for most people in City of Kawartha Lakes, winter preparations are second nature, imagine how it would be for a family who had lived all their lives in countries where they don't get snow. Getting Ready for Winter Books One of my favourite children's authors is Jan Brett who has created two charming winter-themed books involving animals: The Mitten and The Hat. Are you familiar with Jan Brett's Books? Either of these books would be a lovely present along with hand knit mittens or socks. Making these presents even ore magical.
