Your Opinion is Needed- I Can Take The Truth

Being back in RS is killing me.

I am over the" no longer known as Enrichment Nights",

now known as RS Activities.

We have been counselled to have more

"meaty" offerings for the sisters to attend.

No more fluffy, froo froo projects to

distract from the important lessons

that are needed to be learned to prepare

us for that which to come.

Hence, the killing me part.

I am in full agreement that we need to be

well informed, to be preparing for that rainy

day which is coming (or already here?)

But I am getting a little bit depressed

with the constant state of gloom and

despair which I feel like is bombarding

me from all sides. Ever turn on the radio or TV?

So I tried to get our Bishop to okay a

crafty project for next months activity :)

I am pitched the idea of-

(in no particular order)

-sisters need to express creativity

- productive way to spend our time

- inexpensive Christmas gift

- help build self worth

- way to beautify our homes

etc. etc. etc.

We will also be learning about

Natural Remedies found in our kitchens

and have a Humanitarian Quilt on too.

Well, he bought it!

I am so excited. These WERE our ideas.

Hand embroidered wall hangings or shelf sitters

which you change out for each month.

Done on tea dyed muslin.

And Chalked for the color

(I know, it's brilliant!)

The next 2 pictures are from a pattern

a sister in the ward has.

Way cute, but a bit expensive.

Christmas

Halloween

The cost is about 4 dollars.

With the new directive to have activities

be either free or minimal cost.

I came up with a smaller version-

this fits a 5x7 frame. The cost

will be 1 dollar (no frame included)

So here is where I need your opinion-

would you be interested in doing this

if your ward was offering it?

This pattern can be done in one evening.

This one takes longer.

Oops, it's sideways :) just tilt your head a little.

Think of the possibilities you could do

if you learned how to make these.

Find a image online or in a coloring book,

or draw them, like I did.

You could custom make ones for friends who

like chickens or apples or whatever-

Do a family name.

Anyways-

I need input.

Tell me the truth,

I can handle it.

Even if it's a "yes, I'd do it."

Or a "heck no".

It doesn't need to be long and descriptive,

though I would love to know why.

thanks for your help!

road, practicing! So exciting-
