Fall Craft Camp

I am sitting here just about to cry

over this job application process. 

My internet is slow.

I sat here praying it would connect

and when it did, it would not upload my resume.

When it finally, uploaded, it wasn't recieved, aceepted or something.

Or something...

That means, who knows???

So, once again, I'd rather be blogging. 

My weekend was filled with watching

my boy play soccer in the rain, 

no umbrella, yeah!

Fun!  Seriously!

How long has it been since you've played in the rain?

Who leaves their umbrella home when the prediction is rain?

ME!

We were drenched but we had a good time.

After the game, we went to Burger King, drenched and freezing.

Fun too!

Next stop, Hobby Lobby and on to the church.

Decorated our Sunday School Class. 

That was fun too and for another blog post.

Came home and went back to the church at 5:00

for Fall Craft Camp. 

Our Children's pastor makes a great presentation!

I honestly wanted to strip the table of the quilts, 

especially the one on the left!

She stores old baskets of fabric in a vintage suitcase. 

Milk glass vases and cola crates hold art supplies.

Don't you love the crate that holds the craft paint?

More supplies and fabric and wire baskets and milk glass.

Love, love, love it as much as the crafts!

Bars of Soap

Steps:

Purchase blocks of soap from Hobby Lobby.
Cut into squares and melt individually in a microwave for 25 seconds.
Add a few drops of essential oil or a scoop of pumpkin spice, whichever fragrance you prefer.
Pour into mold for ??? minutes until firm.
Make it pretty.

Okay, so we cheated.  Didn't use the meat grease that our grannies used.

Another cutie.

I just brought mine home as is and put them in 

a bowl of ironstone, some in bathroom

and the other in the kitchen.

Next, we made memo boards or picture boards, 

whichever your preference. 

Steps:

Take out glass of old picture frame and cover 

cardboard with your choice of fabric.

Paint and decorate the frame.

Put glass back in when paint is dry.

Use as wall art or memo board.

I'll share mine later. 

I got a little distracted by a glue gun.

I was making rosettes, 

twisting and turning and gluing.

Needless to say, obviously I don't know the danger

of a high temp hot glue gun or I didn't listen to our instructor.

There was a huge blister from below one digit

on my ring finger to the second digit 

and a blister on the thumb of my other hand.

I was finished for the night. 

It was the jumping-up-and-down kind of pain!

Yes, the crazy one would be me!

This was after applying Nerium and popping the blister.

Lastly, we used wood pallets to create a wall hanging. 

This is mine and yet to be completed. 

I was done for the night.
