I have had to put off all "unnecessary" activities with all the busy-ness we've been experiencing over the last few months, so now it's time to bring it back, life seems a little less satisfying if you aren't making something, I find. It felt really good to leave the dishes dirty, the house a mess, and go to bed late all in the name of creativity.
Noah needs some new PJ's so I thought that would be a good place to start. I just got some spotlight flenny and a stretch knit top from Target (pronounced the french way, thankyou), and got busy.
I made the pants, appliqued stuff on the shirt and made a little drawstring bag to out them in...I am so happy with how it turned out, and even happier I actually got it finished. Noah loves them.
Eli got busy with the iron on double sided interfacing and made some deigns for a cute little singlet for Charlotte. I think it turned out really well. I'm sure she will love getting a parcel in the post next week.
Noah was needing to send Charlotte a little parcel too so while he made her a little book, I whipped up a crocheted flower broach. Again very cute. We had the idea to make a little bag with an appliqued butterfly on the from. While Noah designed his butterfly, I cut out some fabric for the bag. Noah enjoyed cutting out and ironing the butterfly in place (Noah definitely got the ironing gene from Gran). He'd done some sewing before, so after a quick refresher course, he set to task sewing the bag together. He did an awesome job of it too.
What a great day it's been, for me this is whats homeschooling is all about. I love it!!!
