Treasuring the simplicity, delightful quirks, and beauty of family and farmstead. And then there's that crafting thing. Thursday, 25 November 2010. Recovering and The Meandering Crafty Post that Proves It. Well, look who's off the couch and sitting upright at the computer desk! A significant observable indication of improving health, this is. That was very Yoda-ish. Wondering what happened to me? If not, skip this paragraph and head on down to the crafting bit. As mentioned in my last post. A variation o...

Wabi-Sabi Wanderings: Seeing Stars
http://wabisabiwanderings.blogspot.com/2011/02/seeing-stars.html
Treasuring the simplicity, delightful quirks, and beauty of family and farmstead. And then there's that crafting thing. Monday, 28 February 2011. Ever since I caught sight of these stars shining about Blogland, I've been enchanted by them. This past fall found me referencing the tutorial at Magic Onions. From every possible angle. The next set were more learned. An old torn book salvaged from the recycling bin, was repurposed into a watercolour painting project for the youngest three. Though I used red p...

http://wabisabiwanderings.blogspot.com/2011/01/revamped-recyclables-gift-tins.html
Treasuring the simplicity, delightful quirks, and beauty of family and farmstead. And then there's that crafting thing. Sunday, 23 January 2011. Revamped Recyclables - Gift Tins. It starts out with me trying to be cool. I refer to this image:. You see, I want to share this fun reusable gift packaging idea. Using the first Revamped Recyclables tutorial. I adapted the decoupaged tins to become gift tins, simply by hot gluing a wide ribbon onto the insides of the can. This makes the girls in the house smile.

Treasuring the simplicity, delightful quirks, and beauty of family and farmstead. And then there's that crafting thing. Saturday, 14 March 2015. Look at what arrived today! Horse stall fronts, two of them, purchased second hand. Eldest and Eldest Son were rallied to haul one of the stall fronts into the emerging stable. There were interested onlookers. And a humorous young man who wanted to demonstrate his strength. The horses are entertained. Even sleepy Nova perks up. Posted by W-S Wanderings. Young me...

Wabi-Sabi Wanderings: The Gift of Recycling
http://wabisabiwanderings.blogspot.com/2010/12/gift-of-recycling.html
Treasuring the simplicity, delightful quirks, and beauty of family and farmstead. And then there's that crafting thing. Sunday, 19 December 2010. The Gift of Recycling. Since my children are known to read or view this blog, I haven't been able to post any of the gift making (of the harried. Sort) that's been going on here. So, the sharing will be postponed until after the gifting is done. Funny, I don't like to think of it being. The anticipation is much more fun. Done. But it is pretty. Back to present-...

There is an upcoming craft exchange in my life. An eagerly anticipated exchange between friends. An exchange that has involved considerable amounts of mulling. Because there is just SO. Much inspiration out in Blogland. What to settle on? Middling's peg folk, gifted to her younger siblings this past winter solstice. Painted wit...

http://wabisabiwanderings.blogspot.com/2010/12/milkweed-pod-gnomessantaselves.html
Treasuring the simplicity, delightful quirks, and beauty of family and farmstead. And then there's that crafting thing. Wednesday, 1 December 2010. Wanna make some gnomes/Santas/elves out of milkweed pods? We did. Actually, the boys were outside, Eldest wasn't feeling especially inspired, but Middling was game. We gathered up some. Twine (if you want to hang them as ornaments). Then select a milkweed pod and do this. I could spend hours playing with photos in Picnik. And it is Middling's clever idea to a...

Here's the part of the post I was unable to complete yesterday. It is a simple craft which was enjoyed by my children aged 3 through 13 years. With leaf shapes cut from birch bark, the children used watercolour pencils to transform them into autumn leaves. Each showed their own distinctive interpretation of the craft. You could strin...

Treasuring the simplicity, delightful quirks, and beauty of family and farmstead. And then there's that crafting thing. Friday, 8 October 2010. After all of the felt leaf and felt gnome apparel making, I was a bit tired of crafting with felt. You know, I felt tired. So using a needle and embroidery floss, these were made. Here's one hanging out with Middling's beautiful felt leaves. And because I couldn't decide which photo I prefer. Comes the crafting fun for kids of all ages. Thoughts in my head, not l...

Wabi-Sabi Wanderings: Winter Playground
http://wabisabiwanderings.blogspot.com/2015/02/winter-playground.html
Treasuring the simplicity, delightful quirks, and beauty of family and farmstead. And then there's that crafting thing. Saturday, 21 February 2015. Winter is hanging on tight in these parts. We've been making the best of it. The livestock have doggedly worked at de-haying the barn over the past few months, which means we have a hay playground again. Nova, our Maremma Sheepdog. And when we are outside or in the barn, he figures we. Are the livestock he needs to guard. There is a new toy in the barn. Hikin...
