Yarn Bowl

Recycle an old lamp shade, even a misshapen one. Wrap yarn around, and around until the sides are covered. Tie to secure. Cute and hip!  via

Update: Birds!

I took the pattern discussed HERE and made these fabulous Baseball bird ornaments in celebration of my St. Louis Cardinals winning the World Series this year. With help, I crafted over 50 of these birds. We used all of 1 1/2 yards of red baseball fabric and less than 1 yard of tan fabric for the bellies. On some, we sewed red ribbon to the back of the neck for hangers. On others, I used strong fishing line and poked it through the fabric – I liked this hanging process better than the ribbon. We debated about adding eyes or actual feathers, but decided less was more on these. I hope you like them – I know we do!

Random Acts of Kindness

“I paid for the family behind me in the drive thru at McDonalds. I told the cashier to tell them Merry Christmas. They looked as if they needed the help. Hope they enjoyed it.”

“I made a pillow for my mom and she was so amazed i did it on my own cause i am10”

“I have become friends with an elderly couple at my church. The older man has leukemia and is not able to get out much. When we had a xmas banquet at church I had a video guy tape people from church giving him a Merry Xmas greeting. When he saw the video he was so excited. His wife was very grateful.”
