As I’m working on the computer now, I’m watching HGTV’s “Decorating Cents”. Today they have a pretty cool thrifty craft project on their show.
On Decorating Cents, they were remodeling a multi-purpose family room. They needed an area for guests to sleep, so they turned a double bed sideways, put a bedspread on it, and covered […]
Every year I have the difficult task of picking a craft for my kids at school to do for their moms. And you know how school budgets are, so it has to be a thrifty craft. More importantly, it has to be something that the kids made themselves and that the moms […]
I found a great article on About.com telling all about free or really cheap kid’s events that you can take advantage of this summer. What great ideas. I knew about all but the Toy’s R Us In-Store events. Guess I haven’t paid attention. I also added some of my favorites as well.

I just spotted this rag rug tutorial at This Vintage Chica. I love this kind of stuff. I wish I knew how to crochet. That can be on my to-do list for when I retire. I’ll put it under learning how to play the guitar. ;)

Thankfully, my friend Revka at “Little […]
I remember being in 4th grade. We had to give “how to” speeches in front of the class. One girl gave a speech on how to dye eggs using natural things from your kitchen. My mom and I tried it right away.
Some suggested items for dyeing eggs are onion skins, red cabbage, coffee, beets, and tumeric. […]
This week at preschool we learned about the weather. To go along with the weather theme, I had my darling students make these adorable handprint crafts. (Get it . . . March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb?)
Parents love handprint crafts. They are great keepsakes. I love a thrifty craft.
For the […]
