Excuse the messy table...that's a real life photo :) And if you notice, our patio is a construction zone. I had to move everything out because their replacing all the wood siding on the exterior of our complex. It's going to look really nice when it's done but I'm praying all my plants survive. Here's what it looks like right now. Not too inviting is it?
What are your favorite fall/winter crafts that you enjoy with your kids or on your own? I've been getting my typical crochet bug now that the weather has cooled off. I'm thinking of making these for some Christmas gifts. And since I linked to Pinterest I'd like to add how much I enjoy it. It's really cool to see a fun craft and be able to save it in such an easy way. I know a lot of people think it's a huge waste of time (which it certainly can be) but I've made so many of the things that I pinned which I would have otherwise totally forgotten about. As far as I'm concerned, it's the perfect online organizing tool.
Have a great Sunday!

Playdoh is the best! I can't wait until our little guy can help make it and enjoy playing with it. I love the colors you chose. I love making beeswax candles and if you get the sheets of beeswax it is quite easy for little ones to enjoy making as well.
ReplyDeleteHappy Sunday!
i love your "unstyled" play-dough picture AND i love pintrest. i don't look up crafts much but i really love it as inspiration for house projects right now. and for recipes.
ReplyDeleteI rediscovered paper-doll making just recently, which is a fun easy craft to do. I used old wrapping paper so it had a pattern on it. Mia and Oscar were amazed when they unfolded the dolls. Truthfully I have gotten a heck of a lot out of Pinterest craft wise lately, and I too love using it to organise ideas and projects; I do fall into a pinterest time warp occasionally though, albeit a relaxing one of staring at pretty pictures and "to make"s. Your boards are so relaxing to look at! I like the potholders Anne, they are going to be very cool when done.
ReplyDeleteI love those potholders! I don't use pinterest, but certainly enjoyed checking out your pins...
ReplyDeleteWe use to do the other kind of paper-doll making with my mom designing the dolls, cutting clothes for them out of fabric. We actually built a paper theatre with the dolls acting all kinds of exciting plays out.
I also use to love paper clay, which is like playdoh, but hardens, and you don't have to bake it unlike a lot of clay things. I made tons of little things for my dolls and stuff. The playdoh looks so fun, I want to make some for me ;) luckily I do have some kid-friends at the very right age...
Love.
I just made some play dough with our boys and didn't add color, but did add tons of fall spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, allspice, etc.) and it is still fragrant a month later.
