Teacher Gift

Friday is the last day of school. Tomorrow H will be giving his teacher this gift we made. Well, I made -- he picked out the flower and planted it. It's painted with chalkboard paint, and was very easy to make, but turned out very cute. I hope she likes it. He had a great 1st grade year ... for sure.

Constructor Craft Fair

Today's the 2nd Annual Constructor Craft Fair. We headed over bright and early this morning, and did our share to help support some local businesses.

• Queen's Caramel Tea from herb + ginger
• Leaf Head Band from CutieCooties
• Feather Earrings from Dollybird
• Onesie from Sheriff Peanut (it's a gift)
• Poster of Berwyn Carspindle by Leslie Hamer
• Strawberry Chocolate Cupcakes by Vegan Bomb (as seen above, and quickly eaten)
  

It's open until 6 pm, so stop on over if you can!

Tulips ...

are my favorite flowers. Recognize the vase? I made a big one for us and finally pulled it out this weekend.

Teacher Gifts

Each year, the boys make their teachers a holiday gift. Over the years, we've done really easy ones such as stamped note card sets and bookmarks, and some not so easy ones, like paper bowls. (They were not hard, but took a very long time to dry.) Anyhow, this year we made yarn vases, as seen on Design*Sponge (one of my favorite blogs, by the way). It was not as hands-on as I typically like for the boys -- but I will say that they were easy to do, and H & C had fun designing every single one. I think they turned out great. Our house will definitely be getting one too.
