Drawing is usually a favorite childhood activity and it's no different for us. We pull out the paper and crayons multiple times a day around here to practice lines and circles, especially giant circles. Unfortunately pretty much every crayon we have is in teeny tiny bits even the kind that twist up. As you can see from the picture below, only blue and red are intact. I guess it's time to look for some colored pencils and a pencil sharpener, but there's got to be something better than that out there.

So we've experienced a little craft storm around here. In addition to the handy pocket protector, here are a few other projects I've completed recently:

Ribbon leis from The Guide to Making Ribbon Lei by Mellie Enos

And new baby slippers, pattern based on Magic Slippers by SockPixie

Of course all of these projects will eventually be given away to a few lucky people :) Now, back to more crafting...

Oh what a fun but crazy day to celebrate.  Here's a picture of the gift I made for that dear scientist of mine.  No true science teacher goes without the handy (remade and hawaiianized) pocket protector.  The real gift was the 2GB flashdrive (not pictured), quite upgrade from 128MB.  Plus now it's a handy place to store that key card that keeps getting lost.  I'm sure the pocket protector will just get tucked away or mysteriously disappear :)

xoxo from all of us!
