My SORRY Attempts at being crafty:)

So...lately I have been feeling super guilty because when Kent takes a nap - I tell Gabe it is quiet time (which basically means watch cartoons and leave me alone for a minute). So I have decided to make Kent's nap time a time when Gabe and I can do something that Kent would try to eat or otherwise destroy with his curiosity if he were awake:) So here is our first attempt yesterday...this is super easy just crush up leaves (the ones we used weren't all the way crispy so I actually microwaved them for 30 sec) and draw a design on paper with glue and then sprinkle leaves and tada! I found the idea at http://www.makeandtakes.com/weekend-make-and-takes-leaves

Here is Gabe sprinkling the leaves

This is my EXTREMELY sorry attempt at a sweater purse....it is super easy but my skills are a bit lacking (sorry pics are sideways - I am not smart enough to figure out how to flip). This is were I found directions http://perchedonawhim.com/?p=81

Okay this is just ridiculous but since I made the purse I had some scraps left over and thought 'lets make snakes for our nap craft' - Gabe had fun but he is a sweetie....they turned out a bit ...oh how should I put it - weird! Oh well Gabe had fun stuffing them and then when Kent woke up they had fun chasing and hitting each other with them:)

Notice the fine craftsmanship of the snakes (ie the huge white stitch marks from where I accidentally cut through the snake while cutting some threads)....I think my crafting day are over - Gabe will probably be relieved he can just watch cartoons and not have to put up with his mother's amazing crafting skills!
