My kids had the day off school, so my mom invited us over to her house for a crafting day. She had gotten some balsa skull "birdhouses" and Halloween ornaments for the girls to paint, and haunted gingerbread houses for them to decorate. I had managed to forget to bring the kiwi, but she had some extra ornaments, and she and I painted some too! Here are the ones I painted:
While the kids decorated the haunted houses (which I didn't really want to be near anyway), I went to the nearby Michael's craft store to look around, which is nearly impossible with the littles in tow. While I was looking in the embroidery section, which to my eyes is getting more and more sparse, I spied some of the "large" handled latch hook tools that I have been looking for for at least a year! I used to have several of those, but I lost one and another broke, and the narrow handled tools just make my arm hurt. They had 5; I tried to not be too greedy and took 4. :) They weren't badly priced AND I got a 20% discount!
When we got home, the kids still had energy to burn so we were off to the local park. I snagged the kiwi, and worked in a few stitches. I am beginning to believe that this is going involved a lot of confetti stitches...
