Crafting


We have been doing a lot more activities indoors lately with the cold weather outside. Cooking, baking and quilting are my favorite indoor projects. We had our friends Rob and Melanie over, with their son Eli, for dinner last weekend and Melanie and I got to create a great Sushi dinner. It was fun to be creative with the sushi rolls we decided to make and the dinner turned out delicious. The sushi not only tasted delicious but looked so colorful and authentic.




It took quite a bit of time to put everything together but made for a fun day and great dinner to share with friends.

Since Neal and I are home together all day I didn't want him to miss out on any fun activities. However, baking and quilting are not activities for a 9 month old, or a boy for that matter (baking maybe later if he wants to be a Chef). So we decided to make a fun kiddo craft together. This was Neal's first craft project and he did a great job. He is really quite the artist :)


He loved the feel of the wet, cool paint on his hands and even held relatively still while I got his hand print. We managed to finish the project with very little mess and no paint in the mouth.




This is a one of a kind piece of art work with a limited number of originals so keep your fingers crossed 'cause you may be the lucky recipient of one of these limited addition original paintings. :)
