My house is a mess, but look what I made!

The boys and I made a cute Easter craft I saw on this blog. A little bird's nest made with shredded wheat covered in chocolate. How can you go wrong?! Well, it did back fire a bit. The boys and I are not used to nibbling on that much chocolate and I think the combination of caffeine and sugar made all three of us go a little loopy. We had a bit of a hectic afternoon, but they crashed hard at bedtime.



My parent's 40th anniversary is this Saturday!! So of course some homemade gifts were in order. I made them each a luggage tag they can use when they come to visit. And Liam drew their portrait which I embroidered on the other side of the tag. I also made them a little pot holder that says, "40 years and still cooking!". Happy Anniversary Mom and Dad!



Now I'm onto Easter crafts. And like all my ideas, I come up with them just a couple days before the event and then work all night to get it done, or not get it done. For Easter I just decided today to make the boys little bunnies I saw here. I made one and have one to go. K and I are also in the process of making a little fish game where you catch the fish using a little magnetic fishing pole. I finished my bunny embroidery from my crafternoon but have yet to make it a pillow. All in good time.



I also just quickly made these little snack bags. I don't like to use baggies so I made these out of oilcloth. We'll see how they work out.
