Had a busy weekend with the kids at a school holiday workshop. The kids spend hours making gifts for family and friends and had a blast!! Glitter is everywhere!!
They made a ton of gittered ornaments, soup mixes, zipper pulls, flower pens and even catnip toys for their cats!
Today I have to get to crafting some of those many Christmas gifts.. but I thought I'd share a link to a great blog and wonderful FREE pattern for an advent calendar. Maybe I'll have time to complete this project for next Christmas!! Check it out!!http://www.oliverands.com/blog/2008/12/free-holiday-mitten-ornament-pattern.html
Well, it's been cold and snowy, and I have to admit not very motivating!! All I want to do is get caught up on the Tivo and crochet.. actually it's pretty nice!! I have a million half finished projects, not yet ready for pics, but I did finish a project last week. My 5 year old had a very loose tooth and I had a half finished tooth fairy pillow.. the idea was one I found on another blog, but can't remember which one ( if you know who I can credit with the idea let me know!! ). New Years Eve, that loose tooth finally fell out and I had to tell her that the tooth fairy did not work on holidays ( bad mom,I know, but I wanted to finish my pillow!! ) New years eve, I finished stitching and stuffing that pillow, and wouldn't you know it.. the kid decided she didn't want to use it!!! My 7 year old also had a currently loose tooth and she is VERY excited to use it, so all efort was not for nothing!! lol.. Here is a pic of the finished pillow, it would make a great gift for a little girl or boy and the options are endless with what type of picture you could sketch of your very own tooth fairy ideas!!
And I have been ..working on the granny squares :)
"Mom, are those cookies done yet?"
I think I just may eat the dough.. that's the best part anyway, right? Now I am off to wait for a bus, eat some dough, and maybe get some dishes done:)
