A burst of creativity

Hey—I actually finished some things over half-term! It was a pretty crazy feeling; being all caught up on marking and having time do some more fun projects. Too bad my kids had homework this week… Ah, the double edged sword… I also did some cloths altering over half-term, but that’s not terrible photogenic. So, here’s what I did!

Unfortunately for blog fodder, there are some Christmas gifts that are just going to have to wait to be shown in all their glory, but I think I can pretty safely show these siblings ornaments—Captain Jack

And a Creeper for a certain teenage boy among my relations! He’s kind of a cute little green guy…

I also finished off one of these that I charted off a picture of a kit I found online. I sure hope the character is correct! I really like how it turned out though.

I also made some of these lovely paper snowflakes—way easier to make than they look, and possible to do with even rather inept children. I’m considering making some for the hall now…We’ll have to see how far the crazy train goes!

In some spare moments last week I also whipped up this little gem—it made me SO HAPPY! Nothing like a crafty release for my inner nerd!

The big thing this week has been trying to get my travel plans nailed down. I think the outline is there now—I just need to get confirmation from someone before I can buy tickets for a quick trip to OH and GA. I know December is going to fly by so fast and there are so many people I want to see and things I’d like to do! Continually praying for wisdom and help in knitting all these loose ends together.
