Hello! Have I mentioned how much I love my public library? I love the children's section and storytime and I love that you can rent movies free for a week. But I especially love Crafternoons at the Library! Once a month the library hosts an afternoon craft session. Last December I made a wreath out of book pages. Today I made coasters out of Scrabble tiles. So fun! The crafts are different each month and the best part - they are free! All you have to do is register to attend! I love it! Each craft only takes a couple hours at the most and all the supplies are provided. Today I made these three coasters in about and hour and fifteen minutes. Just enough time to get out of the house and do something fun for me - by myself! I had a ton of fun making these, although I probably won't be making more, as I like my Scrabble game and I'm not willing to use the salvage the pieces yet. Apparently this craft is super popular on Pinterest right now, so Scrabble tiles are a bit hard to find. In my third coaster you can see that I was running out of letters (this was after everyone at the event had already made two coasters each) so I had to use a W as an M. It works. :) Hope this inspires you to do a bit of crafting of your own. Oh - and next month the library is making decorative (indoor) birdhouses out of old children's books! I'm excited!
P.S. Turns out - Hattie must have had an actual stomach virus this time, because Lucy woke up sick this morning. No actual puke, just dry heaves and a fever. She's doing ok, but has already taken 2 naps - which definitely means she's sick! On the plus side, she has enjoyed watching "Gnomeo and Juliet" about 100 times today. I guess there has to be some perks about being sick. The bad news - our St. Patrick's Day Party (tomorrow) has been cancelled. Oh well. Such is life. We'll be ok! Thanks to all of you who shared love and encouragement from the last post. I'm doing fine. Things always seem worse when I'm overtired. But I appreciate all the love! Thank you!
