Mounted Caribou head for my daughter

My daughter is into bones and taxidermy.  For Christmas I gave her a mini mounted head that she loved. Here is what I did.






She is going to hang it with her other mounted heads.

Too much fun.

Supply bags my daughter made

With Christmas around the corner, my daughter decided she wanted to make her friends presents instead of buying ready made.  

We got the sewing machine out and in just a couple hours came up with dimensions and plan.  She chose to have an outer and inner color for two of the bags and did same on same for the third. 

Here are her finished products.



She bought the fasteners in lieu of velcro.  I think it was a smashing idea.

Great creative and problem solving activity.

Tie dye

Summer is almost over and trying to get time in with the kids before school starts.  One of the crafts that the kids decided to do was to tie dye.  I made them watch the video that explains how to do each style and I am glad that I did.  I am really happy with the results.
