My youngest is now 4 years-old, and that means we start pre-school.  While I began collecting items for our homeschool at Just Between Friends last spring, there are some items I have chosen to make myself.  Sewing Cards were an easy place to start.

Recently, I wandered the showroom at IKEA and found the MÅLA easel – a basic children’s easel where one side is a wipe-off board, and the other side is a chalkboard – for $14.99!  I couldn’t believe it! Brand new, and still cheaper than what I was used to seeing at consignment sales for a wooden framed easel. **The MÅLA easel is also available through Amazon if you don't have an IKEA near you.  There was only one catch – I really wanted at least one surface to be magnetic, ...
