We've been doing some crafting here at our house to get Mommy in the right mindset for MOPS. This weekend is our Steering Team retreat and I have to be all ready to present my ideas for the year. I'm about 1/2 way there at this point but an unexpected flu bug kept me from getting too much done this weekend. Thankfully Grandma Pat is always very happy to babysit if I need some extra time to get things ready for the weekend. (I may just be calling you Grandma!) So, in the spirit of crafting here are a few projects the girls and I worked on last week.
These are the girls' new chore charts that I got finished about a week 1/2 half ago. Then I made up some quiet time boxes for them. They worked really well this last week.
Then the girls and I picked up some 3/4" blocks at Hobby Lobby this week. We tried two new projects with them.
Story Dice and Puzzle Cubes. I wasn't 100% satisfied with how the
puzzle blocks came out but I may try again after I am caught up on MOPS stuff.
Here's another cute way to do them.
So, while we had the Mod Podge out I had to try
this great idea for making window clings. I didn't have a really smooth surface to do this on but I think they turned out all right anyway :-)
And that just about sums up my busy crafty week. (Other than the mending that I don't have a picture of :-) ) I did work on one MOPS project for this September but I don't want to spoil the surprise! I hope I've inspired some of you to have a crafty time this summer!
