Someday Crafts

Well somehow I accidently hit publish post. So this post is out there...I was using it as a file of crafts I think I might like to do. If you want to do any of these....lets have a craft day!!! :)

...ooo and at the bottom is something I did!

Burlap Wreath from Craftaholics
She makes it so you can switch up the flowers easily for other seasons...I'm not sure what to. Maybe different colored flowers.
Halloween Wreath by Craftaholics

She also made a Christmas Wreath using white burlap and some cute buttoned red flowers.

Look how cute this girl's beaded necklace is! From the Idea Room. I'm totally making these!


I also want to make these little peg dolls. I wonder if Boo will even want to play with them or not but I want to try. I can't find the original blog that I found them but I found this blog that shows you what they look like...not as cute as the ones I saw but close enough. The blog I saw them on even made super heros and other dolls that were appropriate for boys.



So I've been working on a quiet book for Boo. I've been making it using paper, foam and felt sheets. I knew that if I tried making a sewed quiet book I'd never do it. So far it has helped out Sundays out TREMENDOUSLY! And I need any help I can since its just me during sacrament meeting anymore. I just make a new page every so often, stick it in a sheet protector, slip it into her quiet book binder and were good to go.  I know they won't last forever but thats ok, its doing it job now and that is what my sanity needs. :)  SO here is my favorite page that I finished up last night.


I just use magnets, so it isn't absolutely pretty but it works. I haven't let her play with it yet but hopefully she loves it. (wishful thinking maybe) :)

I think your quiet book is lovely. I can't believe you freehanded all that stuff. Mine would be a mess. I think magnets or velcro are the best idea. I like the Halloween wreath the best. You could do all sorts of fun things with that.

Boo's quiet book is adorable! I want to have another craft day. I was thinking of hosting a craft morning/playgroup at my house maybe next Tuesday. Would that be a good day for you?
