project number 1, hanging birthday card for grandpa
craft supplies for mikey
mikey is bored.. nothing to do in the winter.. so i got a bunch of crafty stuff for us to make rojects. going to try to do something everyday. we'll see how that goes!
glittery pipe cleaners and valentine sprinkles. i really didn't have any sprinkles so i got this one that have 6 different kinds.
sequins and food coloring.
scissors, stickers, glitter, markers and paper. i've been trying to show him how to cut. it's kinda awkward for me though since he is a lefty.

got all these things at target. gotta go to michael's soon to find more things. i have a project or maybe two we will work on today. hopefully i can show you later!

homemade pattern matching game
we made this game last night using paper and wall paper scraps i got on etsy a long time ago. all you do is get a poster board(i cut one in half. then you pick out papers that have a repeating pattern and cute them into squares. you should have at lease two of each pattern. then you glue one square to the board. my son helped with the gluing part too.
then after it dries you have a matching game to play! i think we'll make another one today since her really likes it!
inspired...
i was inspired by the chocolate dipped strawberries on willynillywaterlily. so these are what i came up with. these are felt, handsewn. sort of a cross between shabby and kawaii. they have little loop stems so you can hang them.

my birthday surprises!
since my honey bought me the pullip, i wasn't expecting anything. but he surprised me with an mp3 player! and a very sweet card.
i had been wanting an ipod or mp3 player for awhile. so i was very happy to get this. it is so tiny! i already added quite a few songs including the new moon score which is so beautiful.
