One of my boys favorite things to do is collect stones whenever we go to the lake or the woods (or someone's driveway...ya know). Malacai is usually the biggest culprit for having his pockets loaded with stones that he just NEEDS to keep! And I'm constantly finding them around the house, tucked in…

When my mother’s birthday popped up on the horizon, I thought–what a perfect opportunity to finally try to make these. This post will be a spoiler for her if she reads my blog as often as I think she does. Surprise Mom! I hope you like them. Sandy, my husband’s, response was typical–what is that for??

That helps keep the bits sharp longer and keeps the stones from heating up!
Pop culture and all that ideology sitting in the blind spot. Also crafts.
