Keeping busy (part 2)

Chantel has been making herself hand bags for school for about a year and I think this one is the best so far. So cute:) It is even lined with hot pink material. She is also having fun learning how to make rosettes out of fabric and ribbon.

I have been busy with wood, paint and stencils! Nothing to complicated for me. Hehe. Kade is really bored watching us do crafts; Poor kid comes in with this cars and trucks and tries to get us to play with him. ( I do for a few minutes of course) I hope Kade has the patience to let us do this and when we are done then I will for sure do something boyish with him.

My daughter and I tried to keep ourselves busy by doing a couple of crafts today. I made the one on the left and Chantel made the ones on the right. We had fun:)
