Baby blankets

I have finished two baby blankets for our baby due in October.

 This one is two pieces of flannel sewn together.  I also quilted around the blocks to keep the flannel from shifting in washes. 

This one is crocheted.  The varigated is called ocean and then the solid is aqua.  It is mostly shells and puffs.  It was fairly easy and has a little cape and bootie that goes with it that I am still working on.

Mini Hamburgers

We had our Ward Fish Fry on July 8th.  Everyone was asked to bring a dessert.  A few days earlier I bought a magazine from my favorite cooking magazine "Taste of Home" called "Fun Food."  I found this really cute idea.  I don't like standing for long periods so this was something I could do sitting down.  You need vanilla wafers, mini chocolate cookies (I used mint like it suggested,) coconut, red and green food coloring and white frosting.  You tint 1/4 cup frosting red and put that on half of the vanilla wafers.  Tint coconut green and then sprinkle on red frosting.  Place chocolate cookie on top.  Frost remaining vanilla wafers with white frosting and place on top.  The recipe said it would make 40, I got 36 since I ran out of red frosting.  They turned out cute, were really good, and were all ate up at the party.

Painting

Another thing the kids enjoy doing is painting.  I got Timmy a little wooden airplane and Sheila a picture frame and they went to town.

Notebooks

I bought a bunch of craft ideas for the kids to do over the summer.  I got these foam notebooks and foam stickers and the kids made their own notebooks.  I made Kimberly's for her and since her full name wouldn't fit I used Kim but we do not call her that usually.
