Knit Dish Cloths

These are the BEST. We have cut down tremendously on our paper towel usage with these. I use them for all our cleaning needs. My grandmother knits them. I'm stock piling them for future use. She uses hers for taken baths. They are easy to clean. Throw them in the washing machine and add soap and a little bit of bleach. We can make a roll of paper towels last in our house now for over a month.

Fairy Houses for Birthday Party

My best friends little girl was having a fairy party and asked for some suggesting for a take home craft project. I suggested making Fairy Houses. Here is some of the stuff I came up with. We held the houses together with hot glue. I'll post photos of the fairy Houses when she sends them to me.
Scrapes of fabric.

Satin ribbon.

Each child had their own bag of natures little treasures.

Tiger-Lily leaves, sticks, acorns, pine cones, & oak leaves.

Sunflower Leaves

This was a house I made with her daughter. She had a great time with the glitter glue and fake flower petals. The petals and fabric were put on with glue stick.
