A failed summer.

Well in the department of getting rid of our pillowcases. This summer was one filled with long work days, adventure, and time spent with friends. The summer went by fast and now both sisters are looking at another year of school starting. One is in Traverse City the other in Alma. For both its the final year (well the little one has to do a semester of student teaching too).

Hopefully they will keep this blog going though its doubtful that it will be about pillowcases.

To dye or not to dye

So this week didn't bring about an amazing or creative craft. KT is teaching bible study next week so she dyed some of the pillowcases to be used for crafts. One set will be capes and the other pillowcases in which the kids will but their foot prints. Pictures of the crafts will be taken and be posted later.



Sometimes life is busy and crafts don't take priority. Kt and Becca went strawberry picking yesterday and the pillowcases should have made it to be knee protectors in the patch but the forgot to grab a couple.

The results of week one.

So the pillowcases are finished. They aren't as bringht as we would like. So we are going to try again. But they came out pretty well.

see.

Lets Dye them.

So for week one's craft we decided to Tye Dye the pillowcases. Kt and Becca each did two pillowcases one for themselves and one for their future little brothers. Their parents aren't pregnant with twins but instead are hosting two exchange students this next year. So after picking up dye at the store and rubberbanding all of the rubberbands that they could the dyeing commenced. Below is the dying portion on this week. The final products will be posted later.

The Plan.

So our family came into possession of a bunch of white pillowcases. So the plan is that each week the two of us will figure out something to do with the pillowcases each week. Some weeks may be a lot more exciting then others. Please let us know if you have any great ideas for us.
