we made ornaments...

{11.22.11}

it's my goal to have finn make something for his loved ones every year. we may be repeating this year since it didn't quite work out like i imagined... for instance only one ornament survived transport. the rest arrived shattered :( or broke before we even got to mail them.

i bought some crayola clay & we had a blast rolling them out & using cookie cutters. these are part of a fall package i got at joann's on sale. it's supposed to be a leaf, but with a few lil accents it's totally a christmas tree!



we'd use the end side of a marker for ornaments...
rolling was a bit much for this crafter... so mama helped.
so much MUSCLE!


& then these next few were during lunch.



& then the next day we painted them. {11.23.11}
ky ky watching from a distance.

i am known for sticking my tongue out while i'm making art, so i always get a kick out of seeing him do it.

she's so ready to paint!!
but she'll just gnaw on her fingers until she's old enough.
beautiful light on a late afternoon day.


i absolutely love this sight. our masterpieces... wouldn't they have looked lovely on your tree?! dang.
then daddy came home & played his one song on the mandolin.
