Art and craft inspired by starry nights and fairy tales. Oh, I'm great at making messes too.
Hi everyone, I had so much fun last month making my first house out of cardboard when I created the San Francisco House that I wanted to create another one from cardboard. I was inspired by this picture I found on the internet of an abandoned house that someone had drawn. When I started out this house had both sides, but it was to large of a house for what I wanted, so I cut the right side of the house off. This was one of my hardest designs to try to create since when I started looking at the inspiration picture that there was not one truly even square or realistic edge in the picture. The porch was also a challenge trying to create it from the picture but I think it turned out darn awesome. I think I spent about 2 weeks this May creating this Haunted Mansion and it was so much fun and enjoyable using the cardboard. Yes it kills my hands to do the Thousands of cuts to create the house but so worth it. I am loving Cardboard and love how I can design so much from it at a Low cost compared to using the fancy Expensive Wood that you have to buy at dollhouse shops. I spent one day alone creating the interior cardboard boxes and trash and newspapers for the interior, plus I didn't have any fireplaces to put into the home so I created some out of cardboard...lol.. I also am loving how the aged patina came out with the painting process of the house, which for the life of me I don't know if I can remember how to recreate it again. Again the use of cardboard made the house so light, but also so hard and sturdy. I hope you all like my newest creation. Have a Wonderful Month! Stan

When the term DIY (do it yourself) comes into question, many of us have different associations with it. Some people are avid fans of it and even like to repurpose old items with creative twists, while for some people... the term quite literally means a disaster in every way possible.
This is a set of three small mice made from pine cones and acorns. They are approximately 2” long but each one varies in size due to working with natural materials. They will be a mix of one standing and two normal walking mice. If you want them all standing or all walking just message me. These little mice are cute hanging in a tree or just sitting as decorations.
You never know where you might be when your muse visits. For Petr Václavek of the Czech Republic, inspiration came while he was out on a walk with his kids.
Well, aside from the natural light, the affordability, its light weight, ease of installation, the look (I love it, some don't), and the flexibility....this photo pretty much sums it up: THE VIEW, and the filtration of colored light you receive in the fall (my favorite season) is one of the main things I love. The brand I use, since many ask, is "TUFTEX"- the rest that I've used, is crap by comparison. Of course, this stuff does have its downside too, its plastic (environmentally), and r-value wise its lousy- although GREAT for solar gain in the winter! The cabin above is "THE GYPSY JUNKER", one of the micro cabins thats on the premises for our "Tiny House Building Workshop" in MA this weekend. Its also featured in my book "Humble Homes, Simple Shacks" AND in the video below, which gives you a full tour!

Sweden I've never spent much time in Sweden. Blame my Norwegian roots. The Swedes and Norwegians traditionally haven't gotten along, and as I'm 33% Norwegian and only 4% Swedish, the Norwegian side won out. I've backpacked around Norway.

Pregnancy, baby, toddler advice for Canadian parents
There’s a lot of folklore surrounding the first Thanksgiving, and plenty of lively debate. When did it actually occur? Was this meeting with the Wampanoags truly amicable? Did they really eat turkey? Despite, or perhaps because of, this murky history, we continue to be fascinated with the Pilgrims and life in 17th-century America. While we all learned about the Mayflower, the Pilgrims, and that first Thanksgiving way back in elementary school, what do we really know about the day-to-day lives of these English settlers? Here are a few things that may surprise you about home life in early America.
