Last Thursday my daughter Amber got me started with Pinterest. Trouble with a capital T that rhymes with P that spells Pinterest. Hours and hours and hours later...
I sure do have lots of great craft ideas to try! So this morning Toby rode shotgun to the fabric store and the craft store.
After our therapy dog visit I started Monday Mayhem. Out of the closet came the sewing machine, sewing basket, and binder clips, chopsticks, empty plastic bottle, and all of our purchases from the morning. Heaped everything up on the dining room table. Chaos! Fun!
Did Toby like it? See for yourself -
Five minutes. That's how long it took him to rip it apart. Yowser - It took 6 times longer than that to make it! Guess that's why the professionals charge $10.
Oh well. Tied a big ole knot in the ripped end and gave it back to him and he liked it just as much.
Project Two: Make curly ribbon. Wrapped ribbon on chopsticks, fastened ends with binder clips, baked for 20 min. at 250* thinking there is no way this could be that easy. BUT - Tah Dah! So easy even I could do it! Click here for the website with the instructions.
Project Three: Hairbow for my grandaughter. Using a glue gun is still as much fun as I remembered from my pre-teaching days.
Therapy Dog Update> Toby did better at the hospital today! He was less anxious and even paid a bit of attention to his partner, Lily. Also, if you live in the 757 area code, and have a therapy dog, Chesapeake General Hospital is looking for more Welcome Waggers!

Oh man, like I always say (despite my personal addiction - or more likely because of it!!!) Curses On Pinterest!!!
Hahahaha, sorry Dad :) Mom, we should have a craft day; you, Lauren, and me!!! Love, Amber
It's crazy how addictive it is!
My son says men are immune somehow. How is that possible?
I think so too!
I'm laughing, because that dog toy scenario is exactly what would happen to me if I tried it! Morgan or Kuster would demolish it in no time flat. I'm glad it's not just me! It did turn out really cute, though!
Haha yes I don't know what I was thinking, he destroys Kongs almost as fast. And the crazy part is he carried the ripped up part around and didn't chew it up at all. Go figure.
I keep trying to explain that there are consequences to their actions when the stuffing from toys appears all over the floor and that now the toy is just a flat piece of fabric. But it is to no avail.
I meant that to apply to my dogs, but actually my children never got it either. :)
Ha - you are way craftier than I am! I think I could probably handle the curly ribbon thing but that's about it!
I agree!!!! I need to find you on pinterest so I can look at all your pins. I'm a bit addicted too. It's one of my favorite naptime activities!! ;)
That hairbow is so cute!! Arsema will love it! We don't have any curly ribbon bows yet!! :)
So true! They just live in the moment. Oh but they have fun while it lasts!
Yeah I was pretty amazed by that one! Wish I'd known it when my daughters were teens :) would have saved a lot of $$$!
I made a few more too!
