We’re Planning a Prom!

March 31, 2012 by Crafty Teacher Lady +

As we enter into the last trimester of school, things are starting to get a bit hectic, particularly because I am co-advisor for the Class of 2012. I've worked with these kiddos (who are now 'adults') since their freshman year, through fundraisers, homecoming and winter carnival events, and now as we approach graduation, there are lots of details to be taken care of and events to plan, the biggest

A little Boston Outing

March 14, 2012 by Crafty Teacher Lady +

The last two weeks have been absolutely CRAZY, thus leaving my little blog a bit neglected.  First, I've had 60 essays to grade, each of which take about 20-30 minutes to read and write extensive comments (you do the math) which means I've spent every moment of the past two weekends grading and am STILL not finished!  The trimester is ending and grades are due at the end of this week so

Rolled Felt Flower Tutorial

March 10, 2012 by Crafty Teacher Lady +

This flower pin is deceptively simple and can easily be made in 10 minutes.  Use it as a lapel pin, a detailed touch to a home decor project, or secure it to a headband.  The original tutorial can be found at Craftiness is not Optional. Here's the process: Cut a strip of felt about 18" x 2".  Fold in half and hot glue along the edge, then cut snips into the fabric along the folded

Absolutely gorgeous afternoon making memories with Absolutely gorgeous afternoon making memories with my sweet girl! We picked the best berries, then went home where my little sous chef practiced her fine motor skills by cutting the strawberries for homemade shortcake- my all time favorite dessert (and quickly becoming C’s favorite, too)! 🍓 

The last couple of months have been super challenging regarding some unexpected health challenges for me, resulting in an emergency surgery 4.5 weeks ago, and getting back to feeling good enough to go on outings like today was at the top of my priority-list! I felt good and had a wonderful time with my best little bud!! 🥰

Also shout out to @browdersfreshpickins for allowing us to pick all along the outside rows so that C could easily use her walker in the field!
Happy Easter from our (reluctant) Bunny Stanley 🐶 and our happy little Reese’s-loving gal!! 🥰
It’s always such a wonderful start to the weeken It’s always such a wonderful start to the weekend when a visit to @cafe_davina is on the agenda!! If you haven’t been, this adorable coffee house and crêperie is located within the beautiful grounds of the @thepinnerhouse, a boutique inn with cozy rooms and cottages! Both are a must visit in downtown Suffolk, VA!

And just like that, she’s 4!! ❤️🥰🍓❤️🥰❤️

We had a small family party while in Maine and I had so much fun putting together all the details! My favorite part of the decor was making the cake toppers to put onto a plain white bakery cake (I also added some fresh strawberries). I printed some strawberries and flowers on card stock and glued them to wood skewers. I made the pennant flags and bunting out of fabric from Joannes and used the same gingham for the table runners. It brings me so much joy to put together a little birthday party for my sweet little girl! Watching her grow and seeing her personality blossom is the greatest privilege of my life…she’s the best thing to ever happen to me! 

And on that note, Happy Birthday, C, and Happy New Year to all of you!
