This is an image of the jumble on the worktable as we were being crafty and industrious and mostly telling funny stories.
I got to drink my tea out of the Happy Monkey Mug!
I love Mod Podge, but my bottle was old and separated and smelled strongly of vinegar. Luckily, Tommy had a new one, but I didn't end up using it anyway...maybe next time.
Anthony, the happy crafter, after I showed him how to do a running lock stitch to finish off the softie he had started some time back. He tells me it's almost finished, so I hope to get a photo soon!

ReplyDeleteYou all are way too crafty! Love those softies. I kept thinking that my son would absolutely love one. Actually, he made something similar for school one time. The assignment was to make an animal, and he
ReplyDeleteended up making a platypus out of a sock stuffed with newspaper, attached a felt bill and some googlie eyes, and still has it to this day.
Mr. Scoots is a cutie. Wonder how he got his name?
I love Crafts..just wish I had a designated spot to do them more often!
