Fabric and Paper and Pizza- Oh My!

Today Mother Nature was featuring winter, giving us one of the coldest days we've had for a while... but still not cold enough to allow our plans of sled riding to come to pass. :( So we spent the day crafting... We started with a trip to Staples to print Claire's Valentines (more on those later maybe) but they couldn't print the 6 pages today so we'll have to come back tomorrow and pick them up and finish them Monday.
Then we went home and broke out the sewing machine to complete this little project:

T-shirt Dolls
A delightful way to use up your used up Tshirts. Simply cut out a doll shape (letting C draw hers first made it even more fun). Sew around the edges. Turn it and color with fabric markers (crayola makes some that are washable till they are heat set). Then cut up the rest of the shirt you didn't use and stuff it inside the doll to fill her out.

N's on the Left- C's on the Right
TA-DA!

After that project wrapped up we cleaned the table and moved on to paper craft - VALENTINES! Claire practiced her penmanship and Nick refined his fine motor skills while we enjoyed making some lovely valentines that will ship out tomorrow for destinations all over the country, and possibly some international ones if we can find the addresses we need.

Then we made green pizza to round out the 'Most Perfect Day EVER!' ~C :)

Tomorrow is just as full of fun and we aren't even there yet. What's on your to do list this weekend?
