My daughter and I did some One Stroke Painting. She did a beautiful ocean/beach scene while I painted some hydrangeas. We are also going to make some friendship bracelets out of embroidery thread. They are sooo much fun! We have made bracelets and anklets, even added beads and more!
My son (her twin brother) isnt so much into the crafting but he has been coloring and drawing. He got some really great scented markers for his birthday and has been experimenting with the colors!
Alot of the craft stores have some great out of school craft ideas to keep the kids busy over the summer. It's never too early for them to make some teacher gifts or christmas gifts either!
I think tommorrow we are in for some more storms so we are going to the movies to see Kung Fu Panda. I will let you know how it is!! Then off to do some more swimming. I think I might pick up a video for tommorrow night too. It is time to start winding down on our vacation and get ready to go back to work for mom and off to Camp for the kids!
Today I worked on my rag quilt some more. I will upload some pictures by the end of the week.
I also got to work on my felted bag I am knitting with Noro Yarn. One thing about going swimming and knitting, it is not recommended to drop your wool in the water. Water and wool are not really good for each other unless you want to felt your project but I think the idea is to get it knit first before felting occurs! I think it will be okay though.
Well, that's all for today. I have to get back to my real chores (otherwise we will have to wear our PJ's to the movies tommorrow--hmmmm... no better not!)
Dont forget to order you needles and yarn and I will be posting the pattern for the Erin Scarf on Friday!
See you then!
