Oh my goodness y'all. I have a 3 day weekend!! This rarely happens. I am up early straightening up the house. I did my laundry last night because I want the next three days to be all FUN! Don't want to spend it armed with cleaning supplies.
Today, I am going to Turkey Creek Shopping Complex with my daughter. My granddaughter's birthday is coming up so there are party supplies and decorations to pick up. She has asked me to tag along and I am not about to say no. It is rare we get our mother-daughter time any more with the way my schedule is at work. I super excited. She is also wanting to stop in Michael's to look at fall decor. I'm going to take a peak at what Happy Planner's they are getting in for 2019 so I can put it on my Christmas wish list.
When The Grands go back to school, I'm going to have some empty days ahead on my days off. I am going to do what I swear every year I'm going to do. I am going to make some crafts for the fall and some for Christmas. I need easy and fast items so I will stick to them. I also want to experiment on some simple things for my Children's Church craft time. While we are at Hobby Lobby today, I'm going to get some felt, pipe cleaners and beads to make a few things. I love working with felt. Me and Mommy used to make a lot of magnets and stuff out of felt when I was little. And it is so easy to sew. I'm going on vacation soon and like to take some small sewing craft projects for the evenings after we settle in our room. I pre-cut things and take them with me to work on at night. It relaxes me. This is just too stinkin' cute. I definitely want to try to make one of these.
I need to have the church order a lot of stock on pipe cleaners and beads for the kids. They will love making these. One little girl is allergic to pipe cleaners, so I will find a soft wire of some sort for her to use.
These would be super simple and super cute for Christmas ornaments. I think we will put a small tree up in our Children's church class room and make some of these and some nativity crafts to decorate it with.
But first, I need to make some felt doilies and runners for fall. I have a chair that sets in the corner in my dining room. I want to do this for it. I love the idea.
This was on my wish list for last year and I just didn't get around to it. I am going to this year.
I guess you know I can't wait to go to the craft stores at Turkey Creek today. My daughter can get lost in the fall decor and I'll be lost in the felt.
It's going to be a fun today. Then tomorrow will be the Shelby's birthday party and Monday, I'm taking the three youngest Grands to Dollywood. Makes for an awesome 3 day weekend!
