in preparing for may, we are trying to use our free time as wisely as possible... and holidays without school seem to do the trick to spur on crafty moments. on the docket for the weekend was to sew a couple pillows, make a name banner, create a growth chart, look for an ottoman to reupholster, make a wooden "F," and much more... did all of these things happen? not even close. but, there were at least a couple things that got accomplished (with help from the handyman tool andrew)
*letter "F"...not sure where we will put this, or if we will paint, etc... time will tell
*growth chart- mapped out the measurements, began the wood-burning, then stain...
drew also created a wonderfully scrumptious pasta salad while i was wood-burning for hours- haha. i was so impressed- it was delicious!
to end the day, i got to visit some of my favorite kimseys...
considering there are not many holiday breaks in the near future, i need to make good use of these upcoming weekends to use any creative energy i may have- come may, the energy will be used elsewhere...
Love your growth chart!
ReplyDeleteWe have one on the molding of the washroom door at my Mom's house of the grandkids and Mom has been talking about taking the door molding down so we can save it . . . .
Another suggestion I wish I did that my sister did! They planted a tree for each child the month they were born and they take a birthday picture of their kids next to "their" Birthday Tree every year! The kids are in college and love their trees. They take care of their tree and decorate them. MV has even put a bench under her tree and reads under her tree when she's home.
