Crafting at Casa de Schwartz

I had these wonderful scraps of fabric, sent to me by The Makery, so it finally time to use them.  Soleil wanted an eye mask, because she always takes Mama's.  

(I would suggest using 2 pieces of thinner elastic, instead of the one thicker one that I used.)

 And I am addicted to making zipper pouches.  They ARE great for giving small gifts, and it is reusable wrapping!

This is the AFTER photo of the craft cabinet.  The BEFORE photo is on the last post.  It wasn't pretty...

Because all of the kid craft supplies were out, it was easy to make little "invitations" for Soleil all day.  She loves them, and I do as well, as it leads to a moment to read for me:) 

 grocery bag + construction paper crayons +markers

 big buttons+pony beads+pipe cleaners on a messy table

stencils+black cardstock+white crayon

Slowly Blogging

Wow! It is hard to blog with 2 kids. How does Soulemama do it with 4??

A few highlights from the past weeks:

Tate at Sports Day, wearing a shirt made by his cousin, Daniel.
I swear, she is smiling!
The most adorable hat, made in about 20 min flat by Kate from The Makery.
One of my favorite dishes. Shrimp+Garlic+Pasta+Veggies+Olive Oil. I won't be eating it for awhile, since Princess S was very gassy after I ate this concoction. (But it was very yummy...)
My favorite find from the boot sale. A Tea Trolley!! (It was only 3 pounds, and I couldn't pass it up.)
