good news



Hello!

I just got home from CPR/First Aid training, provided by the Red Cross. It was very informative and I learned a lot. So now on to some crafting...

Safety First! Happy Crafting,

family trees and wall art

Hello Crafty Peeps,

Its been a while, hope you are all doing well after the hurricane! I have been busy crafting and have a new project to post. It is a super fun easy way to make something colorful and fun for your wall. For this project you can choose to make a family tree, or simply choose your favorite animal silhouette and add your own lettering. I will bring a frame and several fabrics to chose from. 





Project #21 Silhouette Frame
Approximately 3 hours
Materials Fee $ 20

Happy Crafting!

The Crafty Basics

Hello!
I have been getting a lot of questions about how the Crafty Sitter process happens. So to clarify, heres how it works:

1. Pick a time and date for the Crafty Sitter to come to your house.
2. Pick a project. It can be a project that is your own unique idea, or a project from my list of projects. 
3. Additionally, given the right time frame, pick a destination. Possibilities: the park, museum, library (my favorite!). 
4. Keep in mind that I also love to read, dance, go for walks, picnics, sing, make music and answer lots of questions! 

Happy Crafting!
