Well, the girls and I had a fun afternoon of giggles and crafts a couple of Sundays ago!
While Chip was off at a church meeting, we played!
Both of the girls had projects they had already started. I decided to work on some seasonal decor. Of course, my Pinterest boards are full of ideas!
Katie is working on her first quilt! She saw a pattern on Pinterest (like mother like daughter!) and loved it. I was able to track it down for Christmas last year.
She had a BLAST picking out all of the colorful fabric! She is well on her way to having all the little pieces cut out and ready to start stitching!
Megan had a pre-printed world map that she wanted to quilt. She loves anything having to do with world travel!
She ended up not liking the way she had stitched around the countries AND the latitude and longitude lines and ripped out some of them. It has been a fun project for her to work on while watching the World Cup!
I worked on some patriotic decor for our 4th of July church gathering at our house. I got the “wreath” idea here. I liked hers better. She used fancy scrapbook paper. I used what I had–construction paper. I liked how hers had a darker, more muted tone to it. Oh, well. I liked mine well enough! Plus, it was fun to make.
Nothing too fancy about toilet paper tubes wrapped in construction paper to look like little rocket!
I had not really done much crafting lately. I realized my NEED for a craft room! So, I spent a good amount of my craft time tracking down supplies! One day I will have a space to corral all my supplies!
My constant supply tracking was just one more thing to laugh about on our fun-filled “crafternoon” that bled into the evening.
