I love the individual personalities so clearly marked by each of my three children on this cardboard canvas – there’s no question who painted which section!

So, we added some yellow food coloring to the glue and she set to work painting with a toothpick. Johnny got in on the action too: Aren’t their [...]

The DVD is a hit, as evidenced by Emma showing off her new ballet moves throughout [...]
Emma’s birthday party is tomorrow, and as one of the activities the kids will be decorating their own goody bags. You can buy bags made for this purpose, for $2-3 apiece. I made 18 for under $3 using a muslin remnant from our local fabric store.
Having a serger makes this project [...] In December, my mom gave us some decorative star anise to play with. Emma had the idea of using it in a collage. She wanted to attach it to the paper using paint, so we added some food coloring to glue to turn the glue into paint. She stirred the food coloring in carefully with [...] I’ve had a few people ask how I made my blog button. It’s really easy and doesn’t require artistic talent, but it isn’t a technique I’ve seen used anywhere else. MATERIALS: Digital photo STEPS: Open your photo in GIMP. I used the photo from this post. |
