Q, for Quick!
Quick entry and a boring one! I haven't had time to knit for the past 2 days. Yesterday I went to my crafting class, we decorated white candles with dried flowers. Cute! :) Next week we'll make pressed flower cards and bookmarks. Yesterday was fun as a "loud-mouth" person wsn't too class. It really made a difference! LOL! Also I got the happy news that someone I really dislike and can't stand anymore won't be able to make it to the next crafting classes! Oh happy day! :-P
Today was the once-a-month all day daycare for the kids but to save money they didn't go! UGH! I always look forward to it each month as it gives me 6 hours of being child-free for a day. So we decided to make this day an activity day.
1- Make bubbles, never have too much of the bubble solution! :)
2- bake chocolate balls filled with fondant :)
3- cook eggs to marblelize them later on (check out the April issue of Martha Stewart's Living to see how, save by reading how while in line waiting to pay the groceries!) YES, I'm one of those people, read magazines in line and then leave them on the rack! Ok, since I'm so sweet here's another way to do it: Marbled Eggs
Need more cheap craft recipe/ideas check out the Just Kids Recipes craft section. :)
ACK! Trying to make a little knitting related..... uh.... why not teach someone to knit this weekend? LOL! Many will be with family for Easter, it might be a great opportunity to share your love of knitting. :) Teach a kid to make it's own bunny, it's a basic square that you sew up and fill to make into a bunny! :)
Hope all that travel over this holiday come home safe. We won't be doing anything exciting but at least we are with people we love. :)
hugs,
