Apparently tonight will be a “blue moon”, although the expression is not really what it should be. It will also be a lunar eclipse in some parts of the world.
All in all, I thought it funny that my morning cream of wheat looked like this:

Happy New Year Everyone!

This is a small craft I finished this week for a neighbour based on an idea at All Things Heart and Home which I found via One Pretty Thing.
First I made a template of the bird on cardboard, traced it onto the back of some pretty patterned paper, and cut it out. Then I made a slightly larger template, traced it onto some contrasting solid coloured cardstock, and cut it out.

I glued the patterned paper onto the solid coloured paper using a glue stick and then added a thought-filled sticker to each one.

I opened up some coloured paperclips and hot glued them onto the back of the cardstock and then attached some adhesive magnetic tape.

And now there are some pretty birds for my neigbour’s fridge!

This year we decided to draw names and make gifts for each other. I’m dying to share what we’re all working on but Kirby and kids read the blog, so it will have to wait. Needless to say the scissors are snipping, the sewing machine clicking, and the iron whooshing. I’m in heaven!
