crafternoon.

crafternoon
(still no photoshop!)

My niece, Vanessa, has been begging to come over and I finally found a pocket of time to hang out with her today. We both really like glitter and glue.

I was rushing through A.C. Moore looking for a cheap, fun craft and this is what I came up with.
We ripped sheets of tissue paper into little pieces and glued them to ball jars and then sealed it with glitter mod podge. THE MOST FUN!





I kept calling them "candle holders", but you can put whatever you want in the jar, really.
While everything was drying, we made pumpkin bread with cream cheese filling (from a box, I have no business baking).



I had my first crafts class today! (More on that whole ordeal later, I may have to vent). We are making punch rugs as our first project. I'm going to do a Charley Harper inspired owl, I think. We'll what happens. Poppies would be cool, too. I don't know.




It's been an incredibly long day, and the melatonin is starting to do it's job.
Good night, don't let the bed bugs bite.

Ahhh yarn pom poms. If you glue googly eyes on them they become alive. Also I am so intrigued by this braided rug sir.

Your crafternoon looks like fun ^_^ I've been directed over here via Meet Me At Mikes, and, after reading through your older posts in a way that is certainly not creepy nor stalkerish, I'm sure I will be back!
Also I love the font you used on your photos ^_^
