    Welcome to Maternal Craftiness. I’m excited to share my endeavors with you, and I hope you'll come with me as I try new projects and create new family traditions. I am passionate about crafting, but as an attorney, wife, and mother, I have to create the time first. If I can do it, you can do it. Explore my site and find out how to get inspired and get it done!

    I wish I could function like these wild elephants and survive on just two hours of sleep a night.

    So, there are nineteen days until Easter, and I’m done with my base projects. If you’re not, do not despair. There is always Target. Thistle Farms has some great things on sale for those who like to be pampered by the Easter Bunny. https://thistlefarms.org/collections/...

    This weekend a friend and I took a painting class at SmArt. The instructor took us through a bit of Seurat’s life, and we performed some speed pointillism to get our Eiffel towers on canvas in a few hours. We first used a template to stencil the tower and landscape lig...

    The boys are having a sleepover at the sitter’s! Last night, my husband and I got to leisurely eat some Thai at the restaurant, and not once did one of us get up and roam around checking out the other diners’ plates. We also made a romantic stop at Kroger for gelato an...

    I’m very excited to be taking a painting class with a friend at SmArt Art tomorrow. I'm taking down some new business cards, and I was thinking of getting a holder to store them on the shelf with my items for sale. But some late-night Pinterest led me to lots of diy bu...

    My oldest created some work for me last weekend. All the grandkids have cowboy gear at Grammy and Pa’s, and he repurposed a teddy bear scarf I made a few years ago into a lasso. My niece, who has a pink and silver hat and a stick horse named Rainbow, ordered a yarn las...

    Sometimes creativity has to mean playing Jenga with the folded clothes on the back of the couch while listening to a podcast. I’m trying out Happier with Gretchen Rubin since I bought her book, The Happiness Project, on a whim at a FedEx Office last week. My scanner ha...

    My husband and I went to Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg this weekend without the boys and did everything you can’t do with children. We waited in line for breakfast, we shoe shopped, we walked long distances without asking anyone if they needed to use the restroom. It was...

    My St. Patrick’s Day surprise made for a sweet morning with my oldest fellow. He was the first awake in the house, and he came to my side of the bed to show me the small pile of change he’d found outside his door. Together, we picked up the trail of coins and found our...

    I’m still working on the embroidery projects I have for Mother’s Day, and I won’t be picturing them beforehand (sorry Mom!). But I do have an item on my Mother’s Day list - rocks. I need garden rocks, rocks on magnets for my new cabinet, and rocks for the little potted...
