I saw some acorn pin cushions in Martha Stewart craft section and great minds think alike because she glues on acorn caps as well. I love your leaf wrap though!MLE Strangehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11553193818475073959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2184477002733295142.post-35731898264991031282011-03-07T13:12:30.847-08:002011-03-07T13:12:30.847-08:00Hi jesse, I got her regular figure skating ones...

Forget about the wrinkles. I ran across your site looking for Ponyo items or activities, since the kiddos just saw the movie a few days ago, and my 4 year old is now watching it for the 3rd time! Sadly, I couldn&#39;t find much out there as far as t-shirts, etc. I guess I could get creative...hmmm.Katiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15694078926573075655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2184477002733295142.post-91628562313478416412011-03-04T21:50:04.054-08:002011-03-04T21:50:04.054-08:00fantastic lady!!! better than the old version no? :)happybirdycake.blogspot.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18434396999280173685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2184477002733295142.post-6020461749361598212011-02-27T15:52:43.794-08:002011-02-27T15:52:43.794-08:00Just made these with crispy brown rice cereal - super yummy!Clairehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01842212963357141283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2184477002733295142.post-56165674496717525532011-02-18T16:54:28.072-08:002011-02-18T16:54:28.072-08:00Thanks for stopping by Jen! :) We adore skippy! ^_^happybirdycake.blogspot.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18434396999280173685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2184477002733295142.post-86723024474447462502011-02-13T08:57:15.515-08:002011-02-13T08:57:15.515-08:00I LOVE!

I am so glad to hear that! :) I tried googling around for Russell Hoban&#39;s own personal website and could not find one! We have enjoyed many &quot;frances&quot; books here and as my daughter just learned to read... it is amazing to hear her read them to me. The marzipan pig is such a gorgeous story. Thanks you for visiting our blog! (and loved the picture of Mr Hoban and his &quot;bottle&quot; on your site.happybirdycake.blogspot.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18434396999280173685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2184477002733295142.post-55242921150913467202011-02-07T23:28:31.748-08:002011-02-07T23:28:31.748-08:00What a lovely post and pig.

I think the more materials and art goodies we put on the art table for easy access, the more they will become art lovers, each finding within themselves what resonates best to express themselves creatively. Sounds like you have some art lovers yourself! :) Honeypie just started drawing comics too... we love this book by James Sturm, andrew arnold and alexis fedrick-frost called &quot;adventures in cartooning&quot;. Its a funny way of getting kids to understand story, sequence and format, when writing their own cartoons... It&#39;s a cute intro.happybirdycake.blogspot.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18434396999280173685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2184477002733295142.post-19450478518969938542011-02-04T13:38:23.229-08:002011-02-04T13:38:23.229-08:00That&#39;s a *really* good drawing! My oldest prefers pens and paper for comics. My middle son is a watercolor lover. I wonder what the youngest will fall in love with.

Definetly don&#39;t buy the urban vegan... I have been making some dishes from it and they really lack some umph! (little flavor and loosey goosey instructions, :( what a waste! ) ...boooo . I am going to stick to all the Isa Chandra Moskowitz books. She is dead on , on flavor and everything is delicious. There is nothing more disappointing than spending a lot of time on a recipe only to have it be flavourless. no? check out Isa&#39;s blog...<br />http://www.theppk.com/<br />post punk kitchen!happybirdycake.blogspot.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18434396999280173685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2184477002733295142.post-81967605510076871082011-01-13T07:44:05.732-08:002011-01-13T07:44:05.732-08:00Of all those books, the only one I have read is Eating Animals. (Love it!) The Urban Vegan recipes look amazing though, I wonder if I can find a copy at the library? And mmm Miso soup, my favourite thing about going for sushi is the soup. :) Looks like you&#39;re going to have a tasty new year!Melissahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15318966183032998930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2184477002733295142.post-6346532113051512592011-01-12T08:10:13.251-08:002011-01-12T08:10:13.251-08:00Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.
