Crafty Things

Not going to post about the weather ... not going to post about the weather...not going to post about the weather.  It snowed at least 6 inches Friday night.  There I said it.  Let us move on.

Due to the aforementioned, Amelia and I were a bit crafty this past weekend.  Thanks to a favorite blog, we did quite a few projects and a few turned out rather splendidly I think.



These were our watercolor stenciled cards (look for them in mailboxes soon!)  Amelia had no problem with doing them although I did tape her stencil to the paper.   I did the owls and horses with a bit of success.  Now we need more stencils!


Ok...Amelia really didn't help me with these, but I have wanted to do them for a long time.  We are preparing for a garage sale some nice Saturday (obviously not yesterday!) and had some books marked at fifty cents.  I thought why would I go buy thrift books when I have them here!  They are now one of several items I pulled from the sale bin that has been accumulating.  

I only had to glue one extra thick paperback, but I love how they look!  They had these in an Anthropologie ad in all shapes and sizes...great for Christmas decoration I think! Will think of other purposes shortly I am sure. 


I love them on the bookshelf too...Rob not a big fan. Can't please everyone! :)

A big day for Amelia last week...


THE NASTURTIUMS BLOOMED!  

A big day for Mom too...


An early birthday present!  Let the creativity begin!
