Fall Projects

Hello, I'm back!  I know, I know.  I took an unplanned hiatus.  I've been dealing with extreme exhaustion, voices in my head, writers block, and self pity.  I'm typically not a ho-hum melancholy type person, but I look at other people's pictures on their blogs, and I covet their cameras.  I know it's a sin, but I want a nice camera!!!!  I also look at other people's blogs and all the exciting things going on.... I started to feel defeated, but I'm over it and I'm back.

Over the weekend, TrentMan and I had a good time making granola bars, candy corn bottles, and watching movies.  I love that little guy!  He is really growing up into a great young man.

I got the idea of making candy corn bottles from Marilyn over at the Artsy Girl Connection.  Marilyn is a very talented crafter, kind of how I used to be.  Her candy corn bottles turned out so beautifully, that I had to try it out.

As you can see, her's are way more beautiful than ours.  I don't know how I messed up such a simple project, but at least we had fun and it was definitely a bonding moment.  TrentMan is getting more confident doing things on his own and continuing even when he messes up or when I show him a better way to do something

My Antique Candy Corn Bottles

I'm still proud of us, eventhough, I wouldn't necessarily display these bottles in a prominent place.

What are some fun thing you enjoy with your child(ren)?
