The Weather Outside is frightful

but the projects inside delightful! With all the ice and snow we are having a project day here at our house!

First up was to try my hand at dyeing a piece of fabric. I loved the subtle flowers but wanted something blue rather than white. I of course forgot to get a before picture.

I had this project going on the kitchen counter. I also added to the mix a few sacrificial wash clothes to hold the fabric down in the bowl which were dingy white and are now fantastic blue!

Next up Christmas Sugar cookies which the boys helped me with we will frost these up soon. Our first batch didn’t last more than four days.

And speaking of cookies we picked up our cookies from the cookie exchange we participated in…..those cookies won’t last four day either!! The boys have been nibbling at sugar, chocolate chip (all my “boys” favorite cookie). We are pleasantly sugar buzzed!

Then I worked on a small gift which came out better than I expected or even planned.

All in all it was a good day for projects here at our house. Granted the boys would much prefer the ability to get out of the house rather than be stuck inside. Maybe we’ll be able to get out of doors tomorrow for a bit.

HA!

Well one can hope right?
