my creative space

Snow days are finally over! This morning my creative space was filled with graphic design projects that needed to get done before school let out. During the afternoon I just kind of collapsed in a heap. It’s been a long week!

I did start knitting a cowl for myself, but forgot to take pictures. I also realized that it’s Thursday and I have to pick out something from the mending basket for my Finished on Friday post. Yikes!

We hung the sun catchers from Tuesday and they are beautiful. I keep looking out our back window to check out the sparkle.

48 hours of craft

ice sun catcher

Tomorrow is our second snow day in Lincoln. All of our waking hours since Monday afternoon have been dedicated to crafts: drawing, coloring, cutting, pasting, stamping and sticker-ing. (Every creation has been adorned with at least one heart sticker. It is February, you know.) It’s been more intense than my 24 hours of craft weekend.

So far the only planned project has been ice sun catchers. Yesterday we put bits of my daughter’s nature collection in some containers from the recycle bin and added water. It didn’t take long for them to freeze and she’s been asking all day to hang them up outside. I managed to convince her to wait until the 30+ mph winds are gone so they don’t crash on the deck and break into pieces.

Tomorrow we’re making a groundhog puppet and Valentine’s Day cards. If she’s off on Thursday, I just don’t know what I’ll do.

project details: The sun catcher and groundhog puppet projects are from our favorite winter craft book, blogged about here and here. I’ll be taking pictures of our Valentine’s Day cards and posting a tutorial later in the week (hopefully!).
