RECENT CARDS

Last but not least for the night... I took some pictures of recent cards we've made:

(P.S... as always my pictures of cards NEVER turn out true to color, so you'll have to pretend that they are pretty colors)

Twin new Baby Card, that I needed to make in a hurry (and you can tell it was in a hurry)  The coolest part, I didn't take a picture of.  But inside, I made a money pocket that worked perfectly:

Veg made this one with stamps and chalk for his cousin's Birthday, I just love his table scene.  And watching his art work change from scribble to real life pictures:

This is actually pastel colors...  And will make a nice Mother's day card, I think:

This one looks horrible in the picture, but it is quite pretty in real person with the Brown, and light colors.  I got this idea from the Stampin Up catalog.  But as usual, mine are always slightly different.  Especially when I don't have the right stamps.

So that's all on the card making front for this stretch, but I do plan to do more.  I think this little stretch of craftiness has encouraged me to do more again.  And make time.

So until next time, Happy Crafting!

A GOOD WAY TO MIX PAINT

Veg was needing something to mix paint colors in.  He loves making new colors, and didn't want "ANY" of them touching... He is quite a picky Artist...

Then I saw this in our closet and it was perfect for the job...

MY VERY FIRST HAIR TOWEL WRAP

Hubby is the person that sews in our family.  I do not SEW about as much as I do not IRON or use the Weed Eater (that's dangerous)....  So when I saw this post from Skip to my Lou I sent hubby the link and said "Can you make this for Mother's day"

NOW - I must also say that I'm not one to ask or want Mother's day gifts, but knowing he could possibly make this, I thought using the Mom Day thing as inspiration, I could have it done quickly...

Who knew, that he would start that moment, and have it done before I arrived home from the grocery store...

Look, my Very own Head Wrap...  I used it tonight and really liked it... fit my noggin just perfect... and had my hair drying, no dripping water while exiting the shower.... and the other towel just for my Bod. 

Hubby said it was harder then he thought to make, but now that he has it under control, he will use all our old towels to make me more!  *Big Smiles* 

Kudos to hubby!!  He can be pretty alright some times  *wink*...  Don't forget to get all the instructions from Skip to my Lou and many other great ideas too...

DYE FREE PLAY DOUGH

Thanks to Crafty Crow for posting this link to the One Golden Apple blog  I learned how to make Dye Free Play Dough that is soft and easy to use, much more so then some others we've tried lately...

So tonight we used Grape Juice to make our Purple Dough..

Add a couple of googly eyes, and you have creepy dough head... In a creepy, yet cute sort of way!

Check out this post for all the directions and other color ideas.... How Fun... and cheep and easy...

I'M BACK......SORTA...

Sorry for the craft hiatus.. I post regularly on my other blog but haven't had time to craft since well, the last time I posted here... Except for a couple cards which I'll show in a bit...

Anyway... Lots of craftiness has come our way lately so I thought I'd share... First is the biggest change...

What to do with a Train table when your kid is no longer interested in trains???  Flip it over and make a craft table of course!  Then stick it smack dab in the middle of your family room, so every one will want to participate.

Actually we have it against a wall and under a window for some natural light.  But it is in the general family area now, and has gotten more use in one week, then its had as a train table in 2 years.  Re- purposing at its finest.

My only rules about this space are... keep it clean enough to have an area to work, don't get paint on the floor... and when your done for the day put everything where it belongs.

This is a pictures of mid day crafting....  Paint was on the brain....

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this picture he made:

There were many more, but that was my favorite of all time!

Well and this one from his Daddy... *smile*
