Linda made the most adorable broaches. They are made out of felt and she had stitched them, stuffed them, and then glued on different embellishments. They're so tiny I was a little doubtful when she said she was going to stuff them but I think the poof totally added to their charm.
She definitely gets awesomeness award for the day I am in love with her little creations. They turned out so so cute. I think we all left thinking we each had to make some.
I made word garland things. It took me all day and I think they are adorable but I think I was on crack because I was planning on decorating my house in a nutcracker/o holy night-esque motif. You know dark blues and reds and gold -elegant. But I got so excited to do the words that I totally didn't realizes until they were up that they didn't fit into my theme. Ummm duh they're cutesy, maybe a little country and totally not the right color scheme. So I'm thinking I'm changing things to more of a Babes in Toyland/ Christmas Candy sort of thing. I think that theme will be easier anyways I was having a hard time at the craft and decor stores finding stuff to go with the original idea.
My mom worked on little miniature soldiers and really neat gingerbread bags (another thing I should have remembered to take pictures of).
Heidi made ornaments for her Jesse Tree which is kind of a very religious advent calendar. I wish I had taken close up pics of her ornaments because they were really really cute. I can't wait to see it altogether when she finish.
Yeah for craft days. I definitely will be doing more. It seems like it's the best (ahem only) way for me to get stuff done for myself.
