Great fun at our first Handmade Christmas Craft show this past weekend. Thank you to the vendors and customers!! I appreciate each and everyone of you for checking out the show and spending time in Ringsted.

I just thought of a missed opportunity. Why didn’t I take a picture of everyone’s booth?? Next year… unless I can collect them from each of them so I can promote next year’s event even better!!

What beautiful fall weather and great time we had!!

Hot off the press! This is an interactive book the reader records their adventures, goals and plans. Games include BINGO, Word Search, SUDOKU, Word Scramble, and some coloring pages to keep you occupied when the fish aren’t hunting. Artwork is by Jadee Christiansen, granddaughter of Jim and Dee Urbatsch,Osage, IA. She’s so talented. You get a sheet peek of what’s inside from the front and back covers.

Let me know what you think! Order online at Amazon, or pick up a copy at the shop (in a week or two). I’ll order my copies today!

Washed, dried and lint-free no cut rag quilt. I did cut 4 8” width of fabric strips x 2 (8 strips total) for the border. This quilt took me 2 hours to name and then additional time to wash, dry and run the lint roller over it.

I couldn’t find bee flannel, so I will add embroidery and appliqué designs to 8 of the squares on Friday. Gifting will happen in Saturday. It’s going to one of my nieces for her new baby arriving in September.

The “ragging” snips were 1/8” wide and I left about 1/4” near the seams. I double stitched around the border. This is only the second quilt I’ve made.

Let’s have a class!! Text me 712.380.2252 if you’re interested! We’ll get one (or more) session scheduled.

Cats ready to iron on felt and make matching game to strengthen short-term memory. It’s a great quiet game. The set will be complete with a drawstring bag to hold all the pieces.

I’m working on samples for Kids Club projects fall semester. I have 8 spots for Kids Club that meets on North Union early out Wednesdays. Lots of variations of this time honored game. We played it with a deck of cards. Starting out with a few pairs and then increasing until we used all 52 cards.

What games did you play as a child that you still play today?

Candy box journals run through. Just a little embellishments. I see I need to go back through and look with a little more detailed eye abs then will call them ready!

These will make great Kids Club activity (starting Fall 2026!)

All are bound and have pocket or tuck spots on the inside front and back cover. The Milk Duds journal has only 1 signature, so I added more pages and a folder!! Now on to do a little decorating and add a few surprises to a few pages to encourage journaling. Maybe this could be an Elf gift for a class at North Union. These were gens from softball season. I won”t eat enough candy to generate these for all the kids😂.

Crochet hair scrunchies… if you’ve been thinking about making gifts, you could complete a couple of these designs as homework after lesson 2… just a thought. I’m amazed to see Christmas in July posts already. I’ll have some for sale in many different colors and patterns at the Anniversary Celebration Oct 1-3. We’ll celebrate Thursday through Saturday!!
