Superstar

We made these ‘shooting stars’ today for birthday gifts for friends. They are wool felt stars filled with rice. They are so much fun! They really do shoot across the room when you throw them. Drew and Phoebe are going to a Harry Potter birthday party tomorrow and they are both very excited.

Those Chickens

Last year I bought this great chicken/egg/egg beater fabric and I planned on making some cute little summer outfit for Phoebe. But, when I got it out she said “I’m not gonna wear those chickens” — so I put it away and forgot about it. This year I stumbled on a cute dress pattern and I bought a little fabric to make it up… Well, Phoebe came to watch and she started to dig through my fabric and she found those chickens. And she exclaimed “I love those chickens!! Can you make my dress out of that??”  Sure Phoebe

I think it turned out pretty cute. And while we were at it I made her a new pair of pants– that girl burns through pants in record time!

Crafting

Ok. So I am getting into Christmas crafting again. — well at least for today that is

I felted up a little gnome lady with a mushroom cap (one lucky blog reader will be getting her for Christmas

She is even cuter in person… Tonight I plan on making her a little gnome man. And well– here is another project I am working on.

And Drew and Phoebe also did a few crafts today. But I have to keep a few things secret, now don’t I?
