Winter is getting long! And not having a car is really causing us to get creative(which is good). we have been getting ready for valentines day which i totally didn't realize is next week! so we made this fun heart branch. The kids loved glueing the scraps of paper together. You can find the directions for this project over at
kidscraftweekly.com It is a great site with lots of great ideas to get you through the winter.
And here is some fun play time. I just had the kids gather up their cars and then i dumped some cornmeal on the table. This lasted for about an hour! It was great. Judah napped and i was able to finish dinner before 7pm! After they were done I just brushed it into a ziplock until next time. They did get quite a bit on the carpet but it vaccuumed up pretty easily.
This is my first attempt at making a doll. It's pretty good i think but it definetly needs improvement. I gave it to a friend who just had a baby girl. You can find the free pattern for this doll at
http://oneredrobin.com It was fun but i think i'd like it to be a little bigger. Doing small things is good for me though it seems to really help my sewing skills that are pretty much non-exsistent!
This was a fun project too but it didn't involve the kids as much as i'd like. You melt crayon shavings between wax paper then cut out hearts. you can find the full instructions at

Your sewing skills are non existent? lol um I'd beg to differ!
I'm having my kids make their own valentines this year,we already started on a few, but we have like 30 more to make! I remember melting crayon in between was paper, fun!
The cornmeal looks like fun, but my little boy would try and eat it...so probably have to wait on that one, also my kids tend to get wild, and would be throwing it everywhere! lol
I love the pics though! And the doll is precious. I remember your mom making dolls out of pantyhose, those were so cute!
