The Newest Tradition~ Girls Crafty Day

We have a new "tradition" in my house~

Girls Craft Day..

Once a month the girls of my family

(that live close enough~

sorry Kira :( but in May

we'll have a super duper one

for you!)

anyway we get together and get 

crafty!

We've held a few now and made

fabric banners with painted lettering.

Fun and easy!

to see more go to Lisa's site~

Stubbornly Crafty

We've made paper flowers~

Clem Bertaux taught us how to make

these cute flowers!

Clem is awesome~ she's Grams VT partner

and thinks she's a teenager. She's got more

energy than any kid I know! She's in the 

red shirt.

Sarai taught us how to make cake and

cookie pops. Sorry I don't have a picture 

of the finished product~ they were too 

good to last long :) 

We also made candy corn flowers~

Mag's and Mal had as much fun

making them as eating them :)

We used all the crafts that day and

made Valentines with them.

Don't judge my house!

We were crafting. Get your priorities straight 

people.

Our last project were aprons.

Ashley came up with an

original pattern for us

to use. She's pretty darned amazing.

Sarai made one for herself and one for each

girl. So cute and extra useful since her

fabric is vinyl so therefore wipe offable :)

She got her fabric at IKEA, I never would

have thought of shopping there!

Sophie's adorable.

And her apron is too!

Here's Lisa.

Cutie patootie.

Here's the finished products.

So much fun!

(wish I were as photogenic as these

girls are :( oh well, I have sweet spirit.)

The fabric I used was Eddie's Grandmas.

I got a stash of her fabric and love the vintage

look. On the selvage edge was the year

(that's why the close up picture)

It says 1961. I really love that about it!

Don't know if I'll wear it a lot or just display it,

either way they were quick and fun to make!

Can't wait for next month. Not sure

what we're making, but I don't even care;

just so fun to be together.

Guess I better show that Sierra

is usually with us too. She's one

of my girls too *heart heart*

Wendy Gets Her Craft ON

Lately I've been in a crafty mood.

Luckily, I've had the time (made the time)

to fulfill those crafty feelings.

So I now present to you

my newest attempts of

creativity.

I can't take all the credit for this beauty-

Scott and Sabrina gave me the

cute miniature quilt hanger.

Sabrina and I saw one at=

Cutest store ever btw.

Anywho- she went home and made them

for Christmas presents. Love it.

I made the primitive Snowman

wall hanging. He's a bit crooked, but I 

have a soft spot in my heart for him. 

 This is my attempt at Valentine decor.

I bought four hideous plaques at DI

and gave those pitiful things

a true purpose in life.

I repainted them, mod podged 

scrapbook paper on them and then 

slapped vinyl letters on.

Much better than the

"kitchen prayer" 

from 1971 which had been on them.

(sorry if I offended any 1971 plaque lovers)

 Now finally for the 

piece de restistance

 I recovered my moms dining room

chairs. This might not seem so

exciting, but for those family

members who remember what

they used to look like-

it's a big deal.

The last fabric had been 

serving us since 1980-

It was labeled, so I have proof.

It's been a soul fulfilling few weeks.

You can applaud now,

as I take a bow.
