Cute amigurumi creatures!
Thanks for your kind comments. I can’t take credit for the octopus or the dragon, though. Those are the work of @saintcady

Cute monsters and imp! The imp theft made me laugh. My college-aged daughter also steals my crafts all the time.

Prompt: Research Project

Project Name: Activity books
Project Link: Grandkids activity books
Brief Description: This wasn’t difficult crafting by any means, but between the three of them I spent well over 20 hours putting these books together for my grandkids. I’m not showing every page here, but a sampling. I did this knowing that they all have scissors, tape, and glue at home, but with the expectation that their moms won’t have things like hole punches and paintbrushes readily available. I didn’t want them to have to buy things or tell the kids that they couldn’t do a particular project because they didn’t have what they’d need.

Very stuffed 1.5 inch binders!
(there’s a paper bag stapled to the back)
Grandsons got this one.
Granddaughter got this one.
Pre-punched holes and brads also included.
Elastic included.
Pre-punched holes, and brads included.
Rackets / paddles made from paper plates and paint stirrers. Then blow up a balloon and keep it airborne using the paddles. The kids are all Bluey fans, so “keepy-uppy” is a familiar term.
There are several color by numbers, mazes, coloring pages, hidden picture activities and the like, which are not shown.
Also not pictured are the inflatable swords, mini jigsaw puzzles, and make-a-face stickers, which are on order.

Project Name: 60s inspired cat brooch
Project Link: 60s inspired cat brooch
Brief Description: inspired the brooches created by Léa Stein in 1960s. Hers were made from layering sheets of cellulose acetate; mine was created using Shrink Plastic, sharpie, colored pencil, acrylic paint and resin. I will tell you that I had a vision and it took me at least 4-5 tries to make it come to life. It was touch and go there for a while.

What a fun floral pattern! I thought that it was printed on there. Knowing that you drew it on makes it even better! Was it tough to scale the flowers to the size you wanted when shrunk?

As the lucky recipient of this beautiful brooch, I can attest that the floral pattern is gorgeous! At first I thought it was printed on, too.

It was actually super simple. My first attempts didn’t turn out well because I was trying to make it more complicated that it needed to be. Heh.
