I wish...

I had time to do these great projects!

Free Stitch Pattern: Little Mushroom Girl

Posie Gets Cozy: Day of the Week Tea Towels! I really want to make these!
I REEEAAALLYY DO!

I never made one of these cool magazine bowls that I blogged about wanting to do.

I would really like to finish my Swiffer Cozy I started three weeks ago.

But, what I have wanted to do the longest, we are talking 3 years now, is to make a tissue box cover out of oilcloth. The Small Object tutorial is right on the money for that project!

I am seeing homeschool arts and craft time within my crafty wish list. If its in the curriculum I can then justify my personal craft needs! GENIUS!

Martian Mellow

My cute little boy comes up with the best ideas. He has taken melted chocolate, a marshmallow and a few toothpicks and made a "Martian Mellow". He then took this self portrait. I love him! Future career: Creature Maker.

science at home

Yesterday Aidan wanted to make a volcano. I told him that I was working and that we could do it during lunch. He assured me that I would not be needed, that he could do it himself. And that is just what he did. Maddie joined in on the fun and suggested that they play scientist. Aprons and goggles (3D glasses) were adorned and they got busy.



An hour later they had whipped me out of lemon juice and vinegar. A quick trip to the local grocer and they were set for the rest of the day. By dinner time my kitchen (even though I cleaned it 3 times) was a disaster and I was out of all baking soda, food coloring and vinegar yet again!



So for about 6 bucks they had a no Mommy--no TV--giggling good day! And I have a really clean counter top after all that baking soda and vinegar! LOVE THAT!

art class Einstein

My two children take art classed from the nicest woman in the world! Here is their last project and here is the article that went along with the class. What a hoot, I never knew what a mess the genius was! In the way home my kids told me later that he needed to be homeschooled since he learned so differently than others. LOL!
