When is comes to this time of year, my mind goes into creative overdrive. I realize my posting is much less now that my original goal has been met, but believe me, I am still making stuff. There are about ten Christmas gifts in the works as well as my calender drawings. Current projects involve sewing, crafting, drawing and crocheting. I am proud to say that a good chunk of gifts are already done or close to being done, yeah! Working in a fabric store has definitely boosted my creativity and some days too many ideas are crowding my mind. Because funds are still low for us, I have been buying things bit by bit every payday. It helps to not have to blow an entire paycheck all at once. This also is good because with my discount on top of sale price, I have gotten some incredible deals. Add caption Today, my post will be the first of my calender pages. There are two finished so only ten to go!
Yesterday, my sister in law sent me a text message about my niece wanting to paint and bake with me today. No problem! I didn't have to work and it's fun having kids around the house. I actually ended up with my niece and a friend of hers they are both great kids and awesome little helpers. First they put on aprons and then got started. The first thing we did was make chocolate chip cookies and once they were in the oven the girls painted. They came up periodically to scoop a new batch or to take the finished ones off of the cookie sheet. They resumed painting and after a while wanted to bake more so we made banana bread. I think they had fun and I enjoyed having them here. I am posting some of their work and also a small painting that I recently did. ;)
