I had pinned this idea from Pinterest a while back, and today I got my two-year old daycare kids to crank out a couple of scarecrows for their fall crafts. I think they looked great, although the sad one kinda made me sad too ...
It was a wild and weird day today with lots of mist-like rain, occasional brilliant sunshine and a brisk wind sending the dark grey clouds scudding across the skies. The temperature felt like it was falling throughout the day too, so it was a good day for crafting inside.
I'm in the midst of sewing a tutu for my daughter's "Queen of Hearts" costume she is working on. She's making the top from playing cards, and I volunteered to make the skirt. I thought I was finished making Halloween costumes for my kids, but at 22 years old, she's right back into dressing up all over again ... darn it! Once she's got the whole thing complete I'll share a couple of photos.
I seem to have all sorts of little projects I suddenly want to work on, but I want to organize my sewing supplies before I begin. I'm getting a few too many piles of fabric, ribbons and jars of buttons drifting upstairs away from my sewing nook in the basement. I can't stand working in a mess, so getting things back where they belong will be on the "to do" list for this week.
Thanks for stopping by!

Such a beautiful Autumn picture. You never get too old to dress up, looking forward to the pictures.
ReplyDeleteI did similar stuff as a kid. Beautiful fall colours!
ReplyDeleteIf I only had a brain!
ReplyDeleteCute crafts and that last photo is beautiful . It is beginning to get quite chilly down here in our area near lake Erie and some trees have fully changed and dropped their leaves whilst others are still in the process. I have been tending to gardens readying to put them all to bed for the season . Thanks for sharing , Have a good day !
ReplyDeleteVery cute crafts for the season, and I'm sure the kids enjoyed making them Wendy. The golden glow of your last picture made my heart skip a beat - now I remember why I want to go back to Canada this time next year!
ReplyDeleteHello, I love the cute crafts. They are adorable. The fall colors and trees are beautiful. The last photo is gorgeous. Have a happy day!
ReplyDeleteI love your scarecrow craft and can visualize it being done with larger pieces of wood. That's a gorgeous Fall photo, unfortunately most of our leaves have come down over the past few days with wind and rain.
ReplyDeleteWhat cute little scarecrows, those little kids must have such fun looking forward to seeing your daughters costume. I think you are never too old for dressing up and I still have a small dressing up box in the top of my wardrobe!
ReplyDeleteWendy,
ReplyDeleteThese are too cute and precious! I am going to make these with Wyatt and Molly they are 3 and 4.
These little kiddos are so lucky to have you to watch over them.
Gorgeous photos too-you always inspire!

ReplyDeleteCrafts are a great idea and the grand-children always enjoy doing some.

Awe, these are cute Wendy. Your daughter is lucky she has a mom who can sew to help her out. When our girls were small I had to make dance costumes - imagine that - me! I tried and another mother helped me out when she saw my pathetic attempt.
ReplyDeleteThese are darling, Wendy! I am getting so many cute ideas for my grandchildren here! Can't wait to see your daughter's costume. Wonderful autumn scene. xx Karen
