Although I guess you might say that I am pretty crafty, I have to admit that following a pattern or structure is not my forte. But, I love using random material or ingredients to create something magical. I have so many stacks of books with how too's and step by step's that I envisioned myself using. Now they are just collecting dust while we re-purpose and stitch together old scraps, found objects, and bits of nature in any old way that will work. I can't say that they always last. As my daughter says "It is so much more fun not knowing what it will look like ahead of time. I love surprises!" I guess I do too.
The kids got to sewing the other day. I snapped these pictures of them hard at work as I made my cup of tea.
It always amazing me what these little hands can do.
