This New Year's Eve I worked at the hospital, bring new babies into the world. We paused at midnight and shared a toast with some sparkling apple cider in styrofoam cups. Super classy. When I had time for a break, I was able to sit down and read all of the texts sent to me from friends around the world. It struck me that everyone was celebrating New Year's with different traditions, some of which had me laughing out loud. There are many fun and unique ways to ring in the New Year, every country with its...

Today we will be creating a paper sloyd traditional envelope. This project is number 10 from the 2nd year from the book, Paper Sloyd for Primary Grades by Ednah Anne Rich. If you've been following along with us, making the models as we go, you will remember that we made an envelope as our very first paper sloyd project. Unlike the first, much simpler model, this model uses many of the skills that we have since developed, such as measuring and cutting accurately with an Exacto knife. The result is a beautiful and useful creation. Materials Needed: ...

It was about a month ago that we introduced you to our new, loveable pet hamster, Desirée. She joined our family as gift to Luci for her birthday, and has been charming us ever since. We have learned a lot since our first introduction, about hamsters, and how to help Desirée live her best life. Over the Christmas holidays, our little hamster was especially spoiled with big and creative gifts, delicious food and lots of play time. Desi Goes Glamping Desi likes the finer things in life. While we would have loved to take her on...

A couple of years ago, my very-talented sister sent me a home-made wood slice ornament for Christmas. It's one of my very favorite ornaments because it's gorgeous, and it reminds me of the mountains and my visit with her. I loved this ornament so much that I wanted to make more of them with my children, for our own tree, as well as to give away as gifts. Making our own ornaments and other Christmas crafts is a way for our family to relax together and bond. Gathering around the table in the evening, crafting with...

Oh dear. It seems like we are once again in the position of creating something that we will probably never need. I mean I've been alive for 50 years and I have never had the need for a paper sloyd comb holder. How about you? However, I’ve learned that each paper or cardboard sloyd project teaches us something new so we are going to create this paper sloyd comb holder and maybe we will find some other use for it! Materials Needed: The materials that you will need for this project are simple. If you’ve been doing sloyd with...
