Top Tips When Dealing With A Mouse Infestation Inside Your Home
It is estimated there are 20 billion mice in the world, although no one knows the exact figure. For the most part, these mice go about their business and stay out of the way of humans. However, that doesn’t mean they are not present in your home or a possible threat. You only have to look at the current mouse issue in Australia to see how dangerous mice can be. In general, mice don’t bite humans. But, they are known to carry an array of diseases that can be passed on when one touches their urine or feces. Unfortunately, you won’t always realize you have done this. It is important…

DIY Botanical Doodle Cake Toppers For Birthdays And Anniversaries!
Last summer I spent many hours creating in my sketchbooks, including many hours of drawing botanicals, which then resulted in using those botanicals in many ways. For starters I did create a floral monogram which you can see here, and I also used my botanical sketches to create a frame in my sketchbook, here. After that, my daughter’s birthday came along, and I created an 18 in the same style as the numbers you see here. I loved the results so much, that I then created one for each of my teen sons for their birthdays, in September 2020 and June 2021, which is what I’ve photographed here. While these…

DIY Cake Toppers From Flower Sketches
Last summer I spent quite a few days honing my flower sketching skills by looking at free tutorials from a wide variety of sources, check out my previous posts here, and then I added watercolor to them here, just for starters! You can check out all the posts that show what I’ve been up to in my sketchbooks here. So, when my daughter’s birthday came around, it was only natural to make some sketched peonie paper cake toppers that I ended up using in some fun birthday centerpieces (more on that later…..) I drew these from a tutorial that I saw on Pinterest, and it is truly addictive, because the…

Simple Hamsa Cut Out Craft
Craft projects don’t always go as planned, and neither do drawings or paintings even when created by someone experienced! Before tossing something that wasn’t successful in the garbage, do consider if you can reuse it or upcycle it in some way! Paintings done on canvas or paper can generally be painted over, drawings done on light weight paper can be used for origami or any number of paper crafts, and in this case, a painted umbrella and an oil pastel hamsa, both done on watercolor paper but not successful on their respective backgrounds were cut out to use in the future! The wonderful thing about creativity and a mindset of…

Welcome To Craft Schooling Sunday!
Welcome to Craft Schooling Sunday, thanks so much for joining me here! Summer is a great time to try a new craft or pick up one you’ve been neglecting, which for me is most certainly crochet! This blog is stuffed with crochet projects, but this year have only crocheted some doll clothes, yikes, and promised to crocheted some summer clothes for that doll who must be boiling hot at this point! So, grab a crochet hook and some yarn and get inspired by most of the features from last week’s party, that are yes, crocheted!

Pine Cone Pineapples Are The Perfect Summer Craft!
I have taken this craft out of the archives and dusted it off as it is a great partner to my pine cone animals post. Plus it truly is one of the cutest nature crafts ever, right? And pineapples can be any color, not just yellow as long as you have a few yellow ones in the bunch. Best of all, you’ll hopefully have to take a nature walk to collect the pinecones, so enjoy! I have been wanting to make pinecone pineapples for a few months now, and even painted the pinecones yellow before Passover, and finally found the time to give this fantastic summer craft, that would…
