Well,
Its spring break. For me that means taking my annual trip to Michael's and getting enough supplies to keep me busy during the week. I was wondering If anyone had any ideas on what do do.

I don't want to knit
I don't want to do those latch-hook rug things
I don't want to do those painting sets with the numbers.

I do want to do something that is fairly simple, but requires instructions AND will be a worthy project of something I can keep and say "Yes! I made that", and something that I can do wile watching TV.


Any ideas?
Im going to Michael's today so there really isn't any supply that I don't have except cloth.

A 3-D puzzle?

I enjoy them Though it's not really "craft" but it's something you make...

Cross Stitch.
Those are fun.
You might be able to find disney ones. I have never looked.

They are pretty easy too. You pretty much just make x's.
It just hurts if you poke yourself with a needle.

ETA: They also have a paper telling you which colors go where, so you don't have to figure it out yourself!
It's kinda hard at first to figure out where it starts, but even it you mess up a little it still looks good.

Thanks!
I will think of these when Im shopping today.

Those are confusing, but fun.
I've done one, and it took awhile, but it looked really cool when I finished it.

You could always try growing something. I know somewhere out there, there are kits to grow different plants. I had one that had decorations (a house, small statues, etc.) and it grew grass around it. It was cool because you could decorate it the way you wanted, and gardening will get you in the mood for spring.

CLAY.
I love clay. XD The good stuff. The gray clay from the Crafts Store.

 

[Ms.Squeakers]

Aight!
So,
I went to the store, got me an eraser.
I just remembered we have the Easter egg hunt next week at my church so Im going to make egg critters (they are ADORABLE I made them last year except this year it will be easier because instead of painting the eggs we cover them with colored duct tape)
