makin' stuff

While Jesse took M&M to the comic book store with him, Arissa & I spent some time crafting.

I was working on a little banner for the 4th of July.

Missy joined us, but as you can see, she doesn't seem to have the same enthusiasm for crafts as Arissa and I do.

What a party pooper she is.

Look at that face!

Arissa made a scrapbook page about my boyfriend:

I also made some I-Spy bags for the little girls that I made the knitted dolls for back in April:

One of 'em is a baby though, so I made a blanket for her instead.

This blanket was hard for me to wrap up and send off. It wasn't the effort I put into it...it was a super easy crochet stitch, the kind where I can watch tv or have complex conversations while working on it. And yet, it took forever. I think it's been a work-in-progress for at LEAST a year and a half. Maybe more.

The thing I love about it the colors. I had those colored yarns and wanted to make something rainbow-y with them. So since all of my girls currently have their own blankey, and wouldn't fit this one anyways, I decided to send it off to another sweet baby. I do hope she appreciates it though. I expect a hand-written thank you note, as soon as that's possible. :)
