Crafts!! and such...

So yesterday was "Super Saturday" for Enrichment. I am the first to confess-- I never go to Enrichment. It's sad, really. I can count on one hand the number of Enrichment/Homemaking activities I have ever been to... in the last 10 years I have been eligible. No wonder I get stuck teaching gospel doctrine instead of getting a fun Relief Society calling!! I think I started out skipping initially because I thought it was for old women (sorry!) and then I just got into the habit of not going!

I have been trying to do better. I went to one a few months ago, and another one yesterday; the one yesterday is called Super Saturday and I think they do it once a year. It's about 4 hours of crafts (if you get there on time.) I have always considered myself a "craftsy" person. I scrapbook the real way (aka, not on a computer!), make cards by hand, quilt, crochet and have done embroidery before. I don't really sew, but I figure the quilting gets me past that.

I realized on Saturday that while I have a lot of hobbies, I am NOT a craftsy person. There were craftsy people in spades and I had not done much of the types of things they had there... I grossly miscalculated how long most of the things would take, so I signed up for 5 things, and only completed 3 at the activity. I am proud of all of the things I did yesterday, but most proud of the wreath. I have NEVER done anything with fake flowers and wreaths scare me. I had some help from one of those craftsy people (thanks Suzette), and actually the sign in the wreath took the longest, but isn't it all pretty!? Also those blocks are cute, and that Fall needlework took a long time to sew/embroider. Here are the three I completed there:

I didn't want to lose my momentum, so I went and bought a hot glue gun last night after Whitney and Emma went to work. It took almost three hours, but I made my second to last of the projects (I just took the materials and blueprint for these puppets home...) They are nativity puppets made from felt. Aren't they cute!? They take much longer to make than you would think!! Emma made a set, too. Anyhow, I have to make 4 Christmas tree ornaments, still, but otherwise I am all done with my projects from yesterday.

Two other things. Whit has been working like a dog lately. (Pity for Whit) Yesterday I snapped a shot of him in his scrubs. He thinks they look lame, but I think he looked HOT! I love seeing him with his coat and stethoscope... HOT! He could be on a TV show.

Also, doesn't Eli look cute in these jammies? They are from Grandma Stuckey, OF COURSE, but I liked the "I'm no Bully" with the frog and dog!! She also got him a superman set and a really cute one with a shark and little fish that says, "Best chums" or something. hahah.
