Felt Landscapes

The kids are sick today, so I have decided to make it a story/craft day. While the kids are reading and building block towers I thought that I would post the link to the felted jungle. We are thinking of doing these for Christmas gifts.

P. S. I was just surfing and stumbled on yarn balls as well. I think that we will have to try this to.

I hope that everyone is having a great day!

Boy Digs Hole

That's my boy.
M and A are sick today. So after a morning of learning they curled up to listen to Jim Weiss will E headed outside to play. Oh, to see through the eyes of a child again.

A day for rest.

Tomorrow is our rest day. I have been have been working my butt off all week in anticipation of this day. No shopping, no lists, no guilt just a chance to experience the day as it unfolds. I am looking forward to the possibilities of knitting, hot coffee/tea, phone calls with friends/family, crafting and walking with the kids. But best of all, a day without shoulding. Have a great Sunday and I'll see you all on Monday!

Must Embroider Something

I found this sampler on a blog called chloesplace. I feel I must embroider Christmas gifts for someone. My love for crafting and nature are colliding. Hopefully it all ends well ; )

Sketch Shot

Here's a snap shot of an afternoon. The kids spent over an hour sketching in the backyard. This is their official sketch fort.

Che'ryl I'm trying to'do my part to bring back the apo'stro'phe.

Have a great Hallowe'en everyone!

Qoutey Goodness!

I went on an internet stroll.

While taking an internet stroll I spot many beautiful crafts. I have been thinking of what Christmas crafts the kids might want to do, and then I stumbled upon a blog called In These Hills. She shows how to make balloon lanterns and wet felted cookie cutter shapes. I now have two new crafts for my list, and a Sunday to spend crafting. What fun we will have.
