My mom has a file box filled with oodles of fun activities for young children. I often look through this file to find fun science or art projects for my first graders. Finally, I typed up each idea and put it into a handy, on-the-go book. I made extra books for some friends. I enjoyed reading each idea and adding a few of my own that I do at school with my students.

There is Sunshine in My Soul Today
This is one of my favorite hymns. I love how bright and cheery it makes me feel. I had an awful lot of fun working on this project. The sun is appliqued and the words are embroidered. The buttons are my favorite part! Buttons can make anything change from ordinary to extraordinary! Now all it needs is a black frame and an empty wall.

What Do Snowmen Do At Night?
Home Sweet Home
I designed this home for a larger quilt that my mom made for my wedding. I love the oversized tulips and stars and the white scallop on the house. For me, this house represents a new beginning filled with joy and happiness. I have loved the home that my husband and I have built. This was by far the largest punch needle project I have ever attempted. It barely fits in my largest punch needle hoop. I devoured floss, but I loved the way it turned out. I used to different colors of green for the grass. I like the verigated feel it gives.
