Mika's teacher gave me a template last week and asked me to trace and cut pilgrim hats for the boys in the class. Since Marika's preschool was looking for a crafts activity to do during their Thanksgiving party, I thought this might work, as long as I modified the template for a smaller head. So here are the girls, modeling the hats. What do you think? And in case you were wondering, I asked them to say, "TURKEY!!!"This was as much crafting as I have been able to do in the past 2 weeks! I'm trying not to freak out with all the things I have to do this week (major yardwork, menu planning, cleaning the house, grocery shopping, volunteering at both girls' schools), before my brother and his family arrive on Saturday. I spent much of today volunteering my time to help at Mika's library and cutting/collating all sorts of things for her teacher. And for you crafters out there... I had to cut out 160 3/4" diameter holes by hand (craft knife) for their Thanksgiving finger puppets. You are the only people out there who know how long that took me to do!!! (and no, I didn't have a paddle punch to do it with, none of my paper punches were the right size, and there was no way I could use my diecut machine to pull off the task).
In all seriousness... I think I need to scrap tomorrow! =)
I suggest axing the yard work from your to-do list. And yes, you're crazy for cutting 160 holes by hand. But I know it was a labor of love, lol.
