Easter Crafts

So here are few of my latest. The bunny was pretty tricky cutting out. I love my Easter eggs tree thanks to dollar tree and the dollar bins at Target. I know I have already posted picture of the eggs, I love the way they are displayed.

St. Patrick's Day

We had our traditional St. Patrick's Day dinner at my mom's house with a few guests. Joining us for the green dinner was Grandpa John, Grandpa Ken, Aunt Cassandra and her cute little baby cousin Carlisle. My mom was the fabulous cook this year making green rolls, green jello, cabbage, corned beef  and per Tysons request we did not make the potato's green (he couldn't eat them last year, being that they were green).

Isn't he so cute!!!

Picking Dandelions

Wyatt was having fun the other day running around in the yard and picking dandelions and blowing them as hard as he could.

Carrot

I forgot to add a picture of the carrot onto the last post. So here it is. To make this you need to dig out some old Christmas garland for the stem of the carrot.

Easter & Spring Crafts

I am having so much fun cutting out my own wood to make my own crafts. The Easter word was a little challenging being that it is all one piece, and is skinny, but it is made with the thickest MDF so it is still sturdy. I not quite done with the chick yet, I think. I want to find some fluffy yellow feather to stick on the top of their heads. I loved making the set of 3 bunnies! They turned out better than I thought they would. I am starting to enjoy working with the wire with crafts. The eggs were really simple to make, cut, paint, glue and glitter! I love the butterflies too (wire again!yeah!) scrapbook paper, paint, glue (modge podge) & glitter the crafting essentials.

Calender Frame

I love the way this calender looks with a frame. I finally found a 12x12 frame at Michaels, and best of all is was 50% off. Now I need to start making the April calender.

Last St. Patrick's Day Craft

I saw this saying on a baby shirt at Target and just had to make this. I thought it was too cute. Now onto Spring and Easter crafts.

Grandma Cookie

Wyatt has a special bond with his Grandma Cookie, he gets to see her often and loves it when she and Papa John come for a visit. They take naps together, walks together, movies together, books together, games together and many more. We are sure blessed to have her and Papa John in our lives. We love you Grandma Cookie!

The Park with Molly, Dani & Baby Jack

Today Dani, Molly, and baby Jack met us at the park for lunch and fun. Molly and Wyatt were running all over the place climbing on the jungle gyms like naturals (even though they were on the 5 to 12 year old one). I just love watching these two play together, they sure love one another (look at the last picture). Baby Jack is just adorable! It was a great day at the park.

 

Hunter's Craft

Hunter has been watching me do my crafts and told me that he wanted to do a craft too. So this is what we came up with. Hunter painted the 2x4's white and then he sprinkled glitter on them (that was his favorite part), and then using the cricut we cut out some shamrocks and he glued them on with the hot glue gun (and a little help). Then we add some ribbon and sparkly green wired garland. He is very proud of what he made. He is going to give these to his 2 favorite teachers.

Skills on the Scroll Saw

I made one of these celebrate balloon holders in my girls craft night in January. I wanted to make one for my sister, so I traced mine on MDF and cut it out using the scroll saw. I was so proud of my self (it's hard with all the curves). I am getting better and better using the saw with every project. Tiff, this is for you.

March Calender

So I have had this metal calender board since October last year, and finally made my first month's calender. Now only 12 more months to go. Tyson is going to make me a frame to put it in (it is hard to find a 12x12 frame).

Trick or Treat in March?

Wyatt being the cute little guy he is found a little pumpkin in the toy box and came up to me and said, "Trick or treat, PLEASE!" I couldn't resist to not give him a treat. So I put some gummy bears in the pumpkin.

St. Patrick's Day Charms

I have been having fun using the scroll saw to cut out whatever my mind can come up with. My friend Amy gave me this ornament stand (but who says it's just for Christmas ornaments). After making the Hat, Shamrock, Rainbow, and Pot of Gold I drill little holes in the MDF and put in some eye hook screws and used some sheer black ribbon to hang them from the stand. I love it! I am looking forward to making Easter/Spring items for this stand next.

Thursdays with Lucy

Casey, this post is for you.

Our good family friend Jennifer watches her niece Lucy on Thursdays, so we try to get together every Thursday for the little kids to play together. Lucy is about 9 months younger than Wyatt, but you would never be able to tell with how tall she is and how well she talks. She is such a cutie with her curly hair and big blue eyes. Wyatt gets so excited when he see her, he starts calling her name and she calls back Wyatts. They play very well together whether it is at the park or at chick-fil-a or anywhere else.
