WHAT'S YOUR GIFT?

Home Ec progress

September 1, 2010, Posted by Mela at 11:46 AM

Adorable & gifted Gussy invited friends to see some of her “in-her-spare-time” projects & to link up our own Home Ec projects.
.
I have to say, I started with REALLY great intentions of at least attempting all the projects and involving my daughter. We did work on a couple together, but we just sort of stopped, got busy, went on vacation …
.
{end of disclaimer & my own guilt}
.
Anyhoo – I’ve tackled a few, so here’s a quick look …
.
Cloth Napkins & Gift Bags
.

.
Reusable Grocery Bag
.

.
Roll Up (chalkboard mats for kids to use on our trip to SD last week).
.

.
1. Gus’s chalkmat 2. unrolled 3. His suprise (in a covered cookie dough container – wonder who ate all that? – mmm)
.

.
1. Ace’s rollup with his soon-to-be covered Lemonade mix container (that’s recyling) 2. Intrigued
.

.
1. Librarian’s chalkmat 2. First message was a sweet note to me!
.
Confession: technically, this project was supposed to be a supplies roll-up for pencils, sewing or knitting supplies, or something like that, but I figured – it’s my project & I have creative license.
.
Hey – wouldn’t it be cool to actually have a creative license … like an ID card? – hmmm – I might get on that.
.
My next project will be might possibly be the round bunting done for some birthday parties we have coming up.
.
Oh, I didn’t mention that my little Gus turns 6 on Friday? Then Ace turns 8 the next Friday? And Greg turns … a year older … 4 days after that? Yep.
.
If you don’t hear from me, it’s because I’m baking and cleaning and running around wondering why I procrastinate on every big event! AAAAHHHHH!!!
.
Excuse me. That’s better.
.
Ok – where was I? Oh yea – freaking out. So, what am I doing here? I’ve got some serious work to procrastinate on.
.
See ya later!

    I think the chalkboard roll-up idea was great! I couldn’t think of a use for mine, but my daughter adores it.

    Yesterday, while I was at work, my sister stole my iphone and tested to see if it can survive a twenty five foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My iPad is now destroyed and she has 83 views. I know this is totally off topic but I had to share it with someone!
