Oh boy…I have a bunch of stuff going on here, all kinds of crafty business BUT unfortunately I haven’t even had a few free minutes to photograph any of our crafty goodness…so you get poorly lit iphone photos instead.
First up, we had to make some Terrible Teal towels for our terribly awesome soccer team. A little back story – when we found out the girls’ color we were joking that they should be the Terrible Teals so we could make them some Terrible Towels ala the Pittsburg Steelers’ towel. We may or may not have a few Steelers fans on the team. So we made rally towels for the team.
Of course I also had to make some sort of mascot, so meet our Terrible Teal…isn’t she cute?
Next up, Emma was asked by her teacher to teach the class to sew since they were reading a story about sewing in literature circle. So we prepped pieces for everyone in her class and she taught her fellow students to sew a mini monster pillow modeled after the version she made at her birthday party.
She did terrific and all of the kids were so excited with their creations.
Thankfully I had two other moms help with the threading of 30 different needles. Yes, it was two afternoons of exercises in patience, but it was fun in the end.
And then we went from that straight to making t-shirts for the 30 Girl Scouts. Yeah…all of this the same week as our major Carnival. It was an exhausting week. But in the end it was all good. The tees turned out cute, too.
Each girl has a t-shirt with their name in the middle of the trefoil and the troop number on the sleeve. So now we all match.
And that is it for last week. This week we concentrate on all things Halloween. Hopefully we will see you before next Tuesday, though!
I know I say this every week, but I just don’t know how you do it. You are super woman.
I totally agree with Jen! And now Emma may be following in your footsteps. Way to go, Em!
That mascot is INSANE!!!! How did you do that?????? Good on Emma for introducing her class to the joys of sewing btw! And here is a bit of my creativity for your perusal
