A Very Random Monday

What can I say about this? Green tighty whiteys......my son Dylan asked me to dye a Tshirt and these so he can be Robin, Batman's side kick for Halloween. I should be quilting....

Who knew you could sew and play Scrabble at the same time? I am so hooked. Right now I am playing 11 games with unkown people, it's fun. I learned QI is a hot word to use. I should be quilting.....


Played with Maddy....


and Elliot doing crafty things.....




Draped gluey embrodery floss over balloons and let them dry....


Mom mom did hers in red rick rack.....When they are dry, pop the balloon and you have your bowl.



We made some cookies and had a fun day....no sewing got done that day either.

I could not resist this. A retro Barbie pattern from back in the day. I said I would never sew Barbie clothes, but this is tempting me.


Especially this one, Maddy loves it. I love this dress too! I would wear it, only it needs to be a little bigger! I also said I would never make catherdral windows and temptation is at the doorway.
Needless to say I have no sewing to show for this week, but hopefully that will change this week.

  5. What a lot of craftiness at your place! So funny about the costume, how brave of your son. Never say never, that cathedral windows called my name awhile ago too.
    My Dh loves those two letter words, it drives me crazy.

  8. Kelly,
    Looks like you had some fun with the kids. Those bowls look adorable! I can just picture those little tiny hands getting into it all!
    Green underwear is funny! Can't wait to see those retro Barbie outfits. I hope you get some sewing done today!

  9. I see much justification for not sewing in these pictures. Just sayin.

  10. Quilting can always wait. (did I really say that??) You have to do the crafty things with your kids while they're still kids and speaking to you lol. I love the string on balloon craft. My son and I make Christmas ornaments using glittery cotton yarn. They're so delicate and he loves making them. At least for now...
