wagon full of stars: Letter Discovery Activity
http://wagonfullofstars.blogspot.com/2012/05/letter-discovery-activity.html
Friday, May 11, 2012. We've had several glorious rainy days. Multiple inches in single hours. Thunder, cloud-to-ground lightening, the works. It makes my little drought shriveled heart happy. But OMG, does it get stir-crazy in here with a toddler. So we've been painting. To add an element of surprise and education to the mix, I devised this little activity. Super easy, fun, and educational. Then let the little one paint away! Ben was particularity excited to discover "his" letter. May 15, 2012 at 9:32 AM.

Wednesday, February 27, 2013. So happy to be able to post the hat in action! After a quick and relatively painless labor and delivery (wow, aren't epidurals the best invention ever?

Friday, April 20, 2012. I'm so happy with how this quilt turned out! Ben had to demonstrate how to use it. He likes to play on it, but he doesn't want it on his bed. I pieced the back with scraps so it could be reversible. I used this tutorial. I should stop being surprised how good tools make a big difference, but I always am. Links to this post.

http://wagonfullofstars.blogspot.com/2012/05/at-last-clapotis.html
Tuesday, May 15, 2012. At Last - the Clapotis. I have wanted to make this pattern for six years. How insane is that? I actually attempted it once, with some ridiculously awful novelty yarn.
