I
truly impress myself sometimes!
Especially if I have impressed my kids!
No crafting queen here, but now and then I get an idea that bugs me till I try it out and it usually ends up being a little crafty thingy. Usually it involves a wee bit of sewing, and I do mean a wee bit! Rarely does the big machine get pulled out, I am far more enticed by my adorable sewing basket (my Mom gave it to me when I was a little girl) and a simple needle and thread in hand.
The project I am sharing with you today made me beam with pride only because of my sons reaction. After getting frustrated about all the hole-y socks around this house I decided I didn’t think it was fair to waste the ankle piece of the sock just because the toes always go! With a snip those sad socks where cut in two and the top was simple sewn into a wrist band. Big Boy was particularly impressed because his bands had ‘Lightning McQueen’ and ‘Spider-man‘ on them. When I realised he had started wearing them to school, without mentioning it, I was thrilled but the day he came up with another hole-y sock in hand I felt like super mom. Like a gentleman he simple said ‘Mom, when you have some time, I would like some more of your wrist bands please.’ Oh you bet I made it for him as soon as I could!
More hole-y socks show up on my desk by the day!
