Crafting Adventures

Last fall I got the crafting bug and actually did something about it! For Halloween, I got together with a good friend, Jamie, and we attempted (mostly successfully!) to applique these witch hats for our girls. It was so fun, although I had to work out kinks with my machine on how it appliques since I'd never done it before. We ran out of time to make shirts for the boys too. Lindsey liked it, and Jamie made a matching orange hairbow-it was so cute!

Then, I saw this idea on makeit-loveit.com for making decorative balls-take styrofoam balls and hot-glue hemp around them, then spray-paint them. It was pretty fun and easy!

Finally, Jared and I wanted some faux flowers around to brighten things up so we bought some flowers and the branch decor and put the flowers in it to make this:

Besides having serious issues with needing things balanced and symmetrical and yet trying to create decor with flowers that are asymetrical, I think it turned out well! :)
