Who Are We
My wife has been enriching our home with crafts that she has made for our home and children for years. Most of the crafts she has learn to make at church activities and with her family and friends. Some she created from seeing crafts at stores and other's homes. A few crafts she has created from her own imagination. Even I have contributed one of my own crafting ideas. The clothespin rocking chair is a craft I learned how to make in grade school and gave to my mom as a Mother's Day gift (you can follow the free how to craft instructions by bringing up the clothespin rocking chair and following the step by step instructions or download the full version for a low easy price listed with the product description and free instructions). I made another clothespin chair for my wife when we were engaged, it has been a fun project each time. Though I would not consider myself as the "crafty type" I enjoy supporting my wife and her talents by providing this website.

How it Works
As you can see we are growing and have not posted a lot of how to's... yet. Each week as we come up with and make new crafts we will add them to our catalog, so please subscribe to our RSS feed for updates or our newsletter when you set up your account. Also we would love it if you or those you know would share their ideas with us. We can help you create your craft patterns and instructions and offer them as a free crafting pattern or sell them through our website. Visit our contact us page to submit your idea. Although our crafts are are not what you would call originals (some may be originals), we have not at anytime time taken other's instructions or patterns and claimed them as our own. The instructions we provide have either come from friends, family, and crafters like you who have shared their own talents and ideas with us, or we have have figured out a craft that we enjoy making and created our own easy to follow instructions with step by step color picture examples for you to download and follow. Each of the how to craft ideas are easy to make because our instructions are very detailed with lots of colored pictures step by step from beginning with the materials you will need to get started to the final step (when you download the full version).
