Ramble On

One of things I put on my 101 list (that isn't actually done) is to actually use my craft supplies. I hoard them. I have pretty things that I’m afraid to use! I need to just get over the paralyzing feeling of “I’m going to mess it up” and just do it cause really what am I doing with them if I’m not using them? Honestly. They are just clutter.



So today we made hair clips and magnets with butterflies, flowers, and buttons.
It snowed again, all day long, so Middle Girlie and I put our new clips in our hair. I tried to put one on the baby but she wouldn’t have it, she did like the magnets though!

Yesterday was Wednesday and we did our project. I bought two large canvases (did I spell that right?) and two paint pallets (cause they can't share!) and supplied them with my acrylic craft paints that I've hoarded through out the years.

I poured the paint, handed them the brushes, and let them have at it.



I was really proud of myself because I tend to micromanage and I really want them to feel free to express themselves, even if it's messy, and even if it's not a way I would prefer them to do things.



I love them (the paintings and the children).
