Hi Cuties! I wanted to do something special and fun with the kiddos. I am making snowflakes and trying different papers and fabric. I also was trying to glue with an Elmers glue stick so they wouldn’t have to use the glue gun. However the fabric won’t hold with the Elmers. I wanted them to be able to say they made it themselves but of course now I’ll be the one gluing so I guess they won’t be able to do much. I’ll let you know how it goes as I’m going to try to get them here Monday.
The first paper bag color was made with toilet paper tubes and hot glued. The off white I tried with 24 lb resume’ paper and Elmers. Both of these did well. Then I tried the white made of fabric, with Heat & Bond Ultra Hold. I was trying with Elmers on the fabric and at first seemed to be holding well. Then some of it started popping loose so I had to get the glue gun. Also, the fabric one is cut differently so looks different. I will try a fabric like the first two and see if I like it in fabric.
I think I’ll let them make a paper one by themselves and help them with the fabric one to give their parents when they pick them up.
Rylan had expressed his desire to learn to thread (sew-lol) last time he came. His mom can draw and paint well and his dad can do skull mounts. His grandpas on both sides can mechanic and our son also does woodwork . The same can be said for my husband, Rylan’s great- grandpa so I guess you can say, between all of us, Rylan gets his desire to create honestly. I thought Gus and Nora could do this too. We will see.

Your snowflakes look beautiful on your tree. We have a little tree that changes from blue, green silver and red. I hang little candy canes on the branches. We love it, plus it does not drop any little bits of green.
Wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas and a happy New Year.
I told my hubs yesterday when we get back from grocery shopping we will need to go back to bed, we didn’t though. Then I told him after lunch, we need to go to bed, we didn’t though, we played Farkle to keep awake so we would sleep last night. I did wake up during the night for a while but eventually went back to sleep. I did not want to get up when the alarm went off but Gus and Nora are having their Christmas program at their church so we had to get up earlier. I do hope y’all slept well. ❤️Toogie
Merry Christmas & Happy Stitching
