Look at me Gettin' All Crafty!

After some dear friends of mine made me a beautiful plaque using their modge podge skills, I thought I'd give it a try myself. Here is the first of three modge podge creations that I made. This one is for B's room. You can't read the verse in the first picture, but you can't see the paper in the second picture either. So combine them and you'll get the idea. (no idea why this is underlined)






This one is for the kid's bathroom which is done in frogs. This one looks kind of funny in the picture too. You get the idea!


The last one is the one I did for Cait's room. My goal was to choose verses that they might read over and over and over again throughout the years...that they might be verses that would make an impact on them spiritually.


Here are the aprons that I made for Benjamin and Cait. This is a big deal for me. See, Chris's mom bought me a sewing machine as a house warming present...3 houses ago!!! I haven't ever used it because I was afraid of it. Well, I just decided that it was about time. I pulled it out. Mom helped me get it set up and get started and now I'm a sewing fool. Now, I didn't say I was good, I just said I was a fool. That's all.
The kids picked out their material for their aprons. Cait's is ballerinas with pink sparkles on the back (they are reversible) and B chose pirates (surprise!) and solid red (his favorite color) for the back.


The kids have been putting the aprons to good use by helping me in the kitchen. The kids helped tonight to make a chicken dish. While we ate, Benjamin said, "Man, I made a good dinner!" I had to chuckle...because that's exactly what I want them to think...that their part in the preparation is crucial. That I need their help! It was just funny to me.



My most current project is curtains for Benjamin's room. Yes...I've had the material for years now!! Better late than never though, I guess. I'll let ya know how those turn out.
