Today I am happy to be joining Dawn for her make and listen along Thursdays.
It’s been a busy week and much creating has been done to come to the end results of these projects.
The boys have been keen on making clay animals and are loving mythical creatures right now. They finished these polymer clay figures earlier this week, with a little help from me. It was super fun and I think I want to make one too! 🙂
L even made a holder for his sword. 🙂
We had great fun mapping out the bottom floor of our house. The boys used x’s on their maps to hide word cards for me to find, to be made into a story at a later date. L decided to go freestyle and draw the rooms as he saw them and even added the toaster, cutting board, tv and many other items around the house. Xman wanted a more exact measurement so we went around and measured each room showing that one square equals two feet. It was great fun had by all!
The boys wanted me to add this to the post: this is Burrito. He is made from a fraction of the Hero Factory/Bionicle pieces that the boys have. He is over a foot tall. Makes me wonder how big one would be using all of their pieces! Eek!
And last but certainly not least…dum dum dum….!!!
I finished my sock.
Proud of myself and it’s oh so comfy. It wasn’t hard at all – that is with help from YouTube’s Knitpicks sock class series. Super helpful!
Now onto sock number 2.
Happy week everyone!
WOW! Those clay figures are awesome! Well done, boys! Did you use Sculpey, or something similar? I need to show the kids and get us doing something like that! The floor plans are cool too! And well done on the sock! Looks warm and comfy. <3
Melanie! We used Craftsmart polymer clay. It’s about $2.50 per block at Michael’s and you can choose from a ton of colours – so so cool! The kids would have SO much fun! <3
Look at that sock…whoo hoooo!!! Nice work! Those clay figures are awesome. And what fun with the mapping 🙂
I am kind of patting myself on the back for my knitting job. Been wanting to do socks for sooo long. Xman has claimed that yarn as his since I bought it but wanted to try a pattern out on myself first. The clay was a hit – more to come I’m sure and map-making is so cool, like it wasn’t for me when I was in school. So glad they love it!
Oh! WOW! The creatures are amazing! Big, big thumbs up from here. The boys did a awesome job! Can’t wait to see them in person.
The house mapping is a fun idea. I can see D being into that.
And a big huge YAY for the sock! Knew you could do it!
Such great making going on over there!
Thanks for joining in & sharing!
Thanks, Dawn! 🙂 Maybe you can do a house mapping of your home in NM before you move – if you have time ;). It’d be a nice keepsake. Framed! Thanks for the sock support! It’s feels good to know I could now make a sock for any sized foot – the videos were sooo much help.
Tammy… Those clay figures are TOTALLY AMAZING!!!
Wow! Well done to the boys and you.
I am so impressed… Love them.
And your foot looked cozy warm in the beautiful sock! 🙂 xx
Thank you, Malini – I am loving the sock knitting and the clay sculpting. There will be more… 😉 xx
