Some Recent Creations...
I have not been in much of a crafty mood in recent weeks, but in the past few days my creativity has rekindled and I have motivated to do a bit of crafting. I made a knitted gnome baby hat and a couple of freezer paper stenciled onsies for a baby who is due to arrive any day now. I also managed to whip out a freezer paper stencil for Finn who gets very excited about craft days. Unfortunately, as I was just about to start painting these, I left the room for one quick moment, and, by the time I had returned, Finn had unscrewed the top of one of the bottle of fabric paint and had dumped it all over himself and the floor. I now know that fabric paint does wash out of hair and off bamboo floors; it does not, however, wash out of fabric. A sad day for Finn's pants, and a good lesson learned by mom.. never trust a 2 year old alone with fabric paint. I suppose I could have figured that out without experiencing it, but I know that I will never chance it again! Pin It Now!
