Quality and creativity go hand in hand with Canvas Art kits from Royal & Langnickel. These art kits come with a printed canvas and markers or paint. I got 2 of each for the girls to try out, though they would be suitable for adults as well (I was a little jealous that I didn’t have any to paint myself!)

Origami Crane
The Origami Crane a favorite piece of origami for all, me included. The Origami Crane is a slightly challenging piece, but take your time, line up your folds neatly and it will turn out great! Here are step by step instructions to help you succeed.
Many believe if you fold 1000 cranes you will get a wish. Personally, I love to fold them from everything I can! I have been known to fold them from cloth napkins at restaurants, programs at events, and little bits of scrap paper. They are just so fun to make, the Origami Crane a favorite piece of origami for you too?
Start the Crane with the Bird Base. The split section should be pointing down as shown.

Snap 2018 & Mystery Crafty Giveaway
Hello my blogland friends! Last week I went to the Snap 2018 Bloggers Conference in Salt Lake City. I had so much fun with my friends, I made some great contacts, and I took some awesome classes.
Now that I’m home and unpacking I realize I need to make room for some of my new goodies, so at the end of this post will be a giveaway for a box of crafty supplies. There will be some yarnie items in there, but there will also be other craft items in there as well. It’s a mystery!!
Thursday’s opening reception featured several make and takes, including a fun wood burning and painting craft. Here we have my friends Tamara and Jess crafting away.
Night Shirts
The girls and I had a great time going through all our Heat Transfer Vinyl from Happy Crafters to make night shirts with our Cricut. We started off with some large blank tees. We search Cricut Design Space for some images the girls liked. Vada chose a party monkey, and Kyla chose a sleepy pig.
Homespun Comfort Shawls book review
The book reviewed in this post was provided by Leisure Arts.
Homespun Comfort Shawls is a collection of 6 lovely crochet shawls all made with Homespun Yarn. Homespun is made by Lion Brand, and is a soft and squishy bulky yarn which works up quickly. The patterns included in this booklet all show off the best qualities of the Homespun yarn.
Origami Pig
OINK OINK ! Here’s how to make an Origami Pig
Isn’t this little guy just adorable? My daughter Kyla loves pigs, and she thinks this one is awesome. He is fairly easy to make. Only one side of the paper is seen on this piece, so it doesn’t matter if your paper is colored on both sides or just one. Happy folding!
