So I've been crafting here and there...over the stretch of days, by doing a step each day on most of these. Like for the crocheted envelopes -- one square a day...then sewing them up one evening...then adding the button one day. It's all a process! I usually have very limited time to sit in one day and create something from start to finish all at once. Anyway, I made these Valentine envelopes that I think are super duper cute! I found the pattern on the Lion brand website. I think Jayna will be able to recycle them as "mail" for her cardboard playhouse mail slot, and for "mail" this summer in her Step 2 house outside. So it's worth the time spent for me. Also, the kids helped me design each of their Valentine's shirts on my Gypsy, then I painted them (again in steps) while they were either sleeping, napping, or at school. They wore them to their class parties today. There is a picture of Adam creating his homemade Valentine's cards...and the end result on most of them. He did a good job, and came up with the smiley face idea without my input. Then on the back he wrote, "Love, Adam Criser." Too cute! And then I took some snapshots of Carly making her daddy's Valentine...paperweights for his desk at work. We got the kit at Barnes & Noble bookstore. I think it's cool that you can see Carly's reflection in the glass weight while she was working on it! Thanks for looking!
