Two More Turtle Quilts
Categories: Quilting/Sewing/Knitting/Crafting
The thing with twins is that you often have twice as many things to get ready for them but you don’t have twice the time.

Categories: Quilting/Sewing/Knitting/Crafting
While you can find a million and one ways to have a child do a hand or foot print and then have an adult decorate it, I wanted the majority of the crafts we did to involve their creativity as much as possible, not mine. Iddo now LOVES to do hand prints with the ink pad. Here are some of the things we’ve done with hand and feet prints and what ages we did them at. Keep reading
