School is out for the Summer, so they have no time constraints any more.
Aunt Debbie sent me a trunk load of Bratz dolls that she found at a garage sale this week - and the girls broke them in pretty good...
We blew up the big air mattress for them to sleep on - they loved it, even though they were on the floor when they woke up. (Couldn't keep the little one from bouncing on it - it may have sprung a leak...)
The girls love to do crafts, so I got some fabric and planned to have them make these circle flowers (they're the going thing around here.)
But I did a test one to see if I thought they could manage it, and the fabric kept catching fire!
I had to veto that plan and just make them ahead of time. I let them glue them onto some hair clips (much safer!)
By chance, a couple of die cuts that I had ordered came in the mail the same day, so we had fun cutting shapes (sewing machine and easel) and making some little mini books instead.
Other than that - I've been in a bit of a crafty mood myself...
I found this tutorial for fabric flowers a couple of weeks ago, and had try that too...
My background flowers were too big and look pretty sloppy, but - Oh well >.<
I got this book in the mail a week ago,
...and finally had a chance to play with some of the fun ideas...
I just did a teeny tiny one (the canvas is about 2" x 2," and so cute!
...I LOVE minis!)
But it was fun to try something new.
LOTS of time off this week, who knows what we'll come up with next...
