THE NEED TO CREATE....




HAS TAKEN OVER ME! I AM SO READY TO BE DONE WITH SCHOOL...I THINK MY BRAIN IS SAYING ENOUGH THINKING ABOUT ALL THIS ANALYTICAL STUFF AND BE CREATIVE. So instead of denying myself the brain break until summer school is over...I am doing it. My first sewing craft is this...I have this thing about making Fourth of July outfits for Sarah. I think they are so cute and fun...

What can you make with...

One of my favorite tv characters growing up and even today was/is McGuiver. That man was incredible he could take a Swiss army knife, stick of gum, shoe string, AA battery and a bobby pin and make a stun gun out of it. I was always in awe of his inventiveness. Hoping to one day be that inventive myself so I took a shot at it last night... today is CRAZY DAY at VBS and I wanted to finally do something different for my kids so. I gathered up all the things to make Sarah a fairy princess and searched for something for Grayson to no avail...found nothing for him. So I got a wild hair to turn him into an airplane for today. But we have no AIRPLANE what is a mom to do....of course pull McGuiver and make one of course.


So I pose the question what can you make with..... a cardboard box, clear duck tape, tissue paper, cool whip bowl and lid, kinex blocks, Velcro cable ties, elastic, chalk, hot glue gun and needle and thread? Granted I had a few more tools than McG. but I have to say this turned out pretty awesome! Call me crazy...because I am...instead of studying for my exam that I have today...I was up at 10:00pm til Midnight creating such a cool costume for my awesome kid!
