Year of the rabbit

I've begun work on L's birthday crown. Like his brother it will have his year, sign, flower, and gem. I just finished the year of the rabbit. Next up is a bill for taurus.

Desert playmat

We have made progress on our desert playmat. I made two cactuses out of wool felt and knitted one. K and I have plans for a lizard, snake, and a little person with a tent.

Egypt bin

K has fallen in love with ancient Egypt. Let me tell you how hat it is to make a bin and fin things for it. We bought a pack o plastic Egypt figures and went from there. K and I made the pyramids out of tape, cardboard, and paint. The mirror was found at good will and painted. We made wraps (to make mummies) out of white cloth. The sand is from lake mi. I've also added a couple of little skeletons to make into mummies.
I'm hoping I don't regret using sand. Especially since my little guy throws everything.

Gingerbread houses

I attempted to make my own gingerbread houses for the kids to decorate. In the past deb (friend) has done most of the work. Well let me just say... My catch phrase of the night was, "this wouldn't have happened to deb. ". In the end though, the boys had fun and the houses turned out great.

Holiday fun

They boys have been playin. With our holiday themed sensory bin and the Christmas felt scene that I made. Unfortunately making the felt resulted in white paint on carpet. Now how to get that out?

Holiday presents

I've been making lots of presents this year including water bottle holders, eye spy bags, granola, lotion bars, cranberry tea, gnome clothes pins, and such. Now that everything's done I really need to find a new project!

Holiday baking

I've been slowing making cookies and candies and freezing them. We have 6 kinds of cookies and 4 candies including Carmel's, fudge, grapefruit gumdrops, and suckers. I am pretty excited to finally be able to eat them.
