Craft Day….
While checking out at the grocery store the other day I picked up the latest edition of the Martha Stewart Magazine. They happened to have a craft idea for an octopus made out of yarn. It brought back memories…I used to have one of these as a kid. It looked like something the boys and I could make one day.
Then the young checker happened to be wearing a neat bracelet made out of bandannas (looked like something he probably made at camp). He told me how he made it….another great craft idea.
I got another idea for a craft while shopping in Hobby Lobby the other day. As we were strolling the fabric section on Hobby Lobby….I saw a fleece blanket on display and thought….that looks easy too…I can make the boys a fleece pillow.
So yesterday the boys asked me what are plans were for the day (every day the boys will ask me what the plans are for the day…even if it’s just hanging out in PJs all day, they like to know).
I decided it would be craft day. It had been a while since we have had one. So craft day started with a trip to one on my favorite stores….Hobby Lobby.
Craft Supply Shopping List
- 3 balls of yarn
- 1 package of google eyes
- 3 yards of fleece fabric
- 6 different colored bandannas
Purchases in hand and pit stop at Whataburger for lunch…it was time to head home for some craft making!!!
By the end of the day….the boys each had their new handmade goodies:
One big fat green yarn octopus for Ryan
One medium size blue octopus for
Braided Bandanna bracelet (I made one for me too)
One cute rubber ducky fleece pillow for Ryan
One cute puppy print fleece pillow for
And oh ya…..each one got a small fleece blanket made out of their left over pillow fabric.
I’d say this turned out to be a really great craft day!
(pictures to come…..computer still on fritz….can’t upload photos at this time)….you’ll just have to take my word their new things are really cute!!!
