Crafty

I managed to put together a little St Patrick’s Day centerpiece for the coffee table the other day.  I’m still in “collecting” mode, trying to find just the right things to add to the centerpieces I make.  For this one I even found little shamrock pieces to layer around the candle.  🙂

Bit by bit, I’m re-gathering craft supplies.  I used to have a lot of fun making little decorative things for the house but it’s been a long time since I was able to do that.  It’s nice to be able to again.

Just 2 more days left of school this quarter!  The kids are bouncing off the walls with excitement, lol.  A whole month off! 

Mom’s looking forward to it, too.  😉

So how’s your day going?  Getting things done?  Plans getting accomplished?

Centering

I’ve been getting into this centerpiece thing lately.  It’s been a long time since I was able to do anything crafty, so it’s been really nice to dip my toes in again, as it were.  :)  I blame Pinterest.  Heh.  Of course, having the means and the space to be able to do such things is a big factor, too. 

While Darc and I have always been big candle fans, it seems only recently that we’ve been able to indulge our habit.  Having a 7 year old who’s learned how to use the long lighter and gets a thrill out of lighting candles is a big plus too, lol.  I’m sure this will wear off soon, just as everything else does once it becomes mundane.  She’s a fickle one, that girl.  We went through several candles while Darc was on vacation over the Christmas holidays.  Every afternoon as the sun was setting I heard, “Can I light the candles now, Mommy?”

My goal is to make a new centerpiece every month.  Yay!  That means more craft store shopping!  🙂

Do you have any crafts that you like to do?

Today’s sunrise.

Happy Columbus Day!

I must say, I am grateful for Columbus on this day.  He started something, intentional or otherwise, that resulted in our nation being what it is.  How could I not be glad of that?  A circuitous chain of events, but it ended up with the Pilgrims coming to this new land, and eventually we became a nation.  So for what he started, I am glad that it ultimately resulted in our nation.  🙂

It was kind of an eventful weekend.  :)  I made it through the grocery store!  A little slow, sure, but I made it.  Actually, I think I overdid it, because I was kind of stiff and sore the next day, but my knee is almost completely healed.  I’d say I’m probably at about 95%.  Yay!

I did some crafty kinds of things with the kids.

	See their little hand spiders?
	Can you tell what I used to make the pattern for the ghosts?  LOL  I got lots of giggles when I was tracing their feet.  :)
	I made the big spider a couple of years ago, but the kids loved it so it became a keeper.

And check this out!  After just a few weeks of school, the MiniNess left this message on the white board:

Some of those letters we haven’t gotten to yet, but she figured them out on her own.  :)  The pronunciation helps crack me up.  In case you can’t tell what it says, it’s “Save the cat Dad, we are Puss in Boots.”  I wish her penmanship was as nice in her books!  She gets kind of sloppy there.

So I got what feels like lots of things accomplished, and I even managed to toss  out some old stuff I’ll never use as well. 

How was your weekend?
