Crafting With My Girls

Crafting can be so much fun. Julia, Rachel, and I have been doing it all weekend. Annalyn has been doing 300+ puzzles right next to us... the other girls have been crocheting and knitting.

Julia was busy making an octopus "night-night" buddy with matching pillow.

Rachel worked on a felt project that is adorable-- just wait and see!

I worked on hand stitching my own version of these adorable owl canvas bags that I saw in an expensive craft shop-- boy is there intricate detail involved. Now I know why they cost so much.


We all got a crack out of Julia's octopus. Sveta with her fascination for these sea creatures wanted it for her very own. I reassured her that it was cute-- especially with the pink pouty lips she added.


At first, blanket stitching was challenging for me. As time went on, I got the hang of it.


Here is the first of four bags that we are making. I think they are cute.

I'd like to help with your Ukraine project. Do you have a donate button?

Please send a couple of your kids who read to my new blog
http://emeraldcoastyouthgroup.blogspot.com/ to see if they think the characters feel real and if they can relate to the story. Does no good to write a book if it misses the target age group! They will be entered in a drawing if they leave a comment.
