Pillowcases

So much crafting going on- and not one piece of it has been blog-worthy =*) Here's a set of pillowcases for las sobrinas. Hopefully a nice match for their new room theme! (Those are treble clefs on the black fabric.)

Illegal Cupcake Transport

I volunteered to take 4 dozen cupcakes to church, then realized we could only bake 18 at a time...so it was a long time in the kitchen! Then the next question was how to carry them all safely. Ainsley and I came up with this, and he did the photography =*)
Cut across the front of an illegal 12"x13"x2" shipping box.

Cut off the sides of the 2 top flaps on the fold.

Expose adhesive, fold in corners. Stick the flaps you cut off in there to cover the whole side.

Mission accomplished!

It'll carry 27 cupcakes. It also makes a great Lego mini figure play house (or in our case, space station) when properly decorated!

What's Been "Sapping" My Creative Energy

Here's a sample of the tree costumes I've spent the last few weeks making. They turned out great! I've been dying to finish them so I can make something cute and just for fun...stay tuned!

Passover

Our "quasi-Seder" as Punk called it. The kids really enjoyed this hands-on lesson about Passover, and they both were brave enough to try the horseradish! We checked out a couple of library books: Passover (A True Book) by Nancy Sanders told us what to put on the Seder plate (aka, deviled egg plate) and The Matzo Ball Boy by Lisa Shulman was a fun Jewish take on The Gingerbread Man.
Do you love the little lamb pitcher standing in for the shank bone?!
